Herlong Asbestos Attorney

According to the CDC, it is estimated that anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 Americans pass away from an asbestos-related illness each year. Worse, these estimates are conservative since asbestos-related deaths are not recorded as precisely as they should, meaning the most accurate understanding of asbestos-related harm is not yet known.

Still, we do know that California loses more lives to asbestos than any other state, and Herlong’s Lassen County has shared in these harms. The Ledger Law Firm is a national personal injury and mesothelioma law firm that has built a national reputation for helping injured and ill victims receive the compensation they are legally owed.

When you reach out to us, we will provide you with dedicated legal representation that pursues justice and financial funds for you and your California loved ones who suffered because a wrongful asbestos exposure caused mesothelioma.

Why Is Asbestos Exposure Harmful to Humans?

Asbestos is a mineral that occurs naturally, which may leave some to question how the mineral can be so deadly to human health. Precisely, it is the microscopic fibers of the mineral that can become dangerous once humans inhale or swallow them.

This occurred all too often at industrial, military and construction sites where asbestos was widely used because of its beneficial properties for building purposes. When asbestos-containing materials were disturbed from aging, drilling and similar occurrences, exposed individuals could then be exposed to the airborne fibers.

Research has shown that asbestos fibers that enter the body may never leave. Once those fibers enter the body, they can begin the slow and long process of turning previously healthy cells into cancerous mesothelioma cells. This process, however, can take decades, which makes receiving a timely diagnosis difficult. The difficulty in treating mesothelioma early helps explain why fewer than 1 in 10 patients survive more than five years after a pleural mesothelioma diagnosis.

If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos and received a mesothelioma diagnosis as a result, speak to a Herlong mesothelioma lawyer at Ledger Law to fully explore your legal options.
