A CANCER CAUSED BY CORPORATE GREED
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer that develops in the mesothelium — the thin tissue layer surrounding the lungs, abdomen, heart, or testicles. In virtually every diagnosed case, it is caused by inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers.
What makes it especially devastating is its latency period: symptoms typically don't appear until 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure. The companies responsible often knew about the dangers for decades — and chose to say nothing.
Most states give you only 1–3 years to file after diagnosis. If you've been diagnosed, the clock is already running. Call us today — don't lose your right to compensation.
KNOW YOUR DIAGNOSIS
Pleural Mesothelioma
Develops in the lining of the lungs. Most common type. Symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, fatigue, unexplained weight loss. Often misdiagnosed early as pneumonia or lung cancer.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Develops in the lining of the abdomen. Symptoms include abdominal pain and swelling, nausea, and weight loss. Has a relatively better prognosis when caught early and treated with HIPEC surgery.
Pericardial Mesothelioma
Develops in the lining of the heart. Extremely rare and difficult to diagnose early. Symptoms include chest pain, heart palpitations, and breathing difficulty. Requires specialized cardiac oncology care.
Testicular Mesothelioma
Develops in the tunica vaginalis of the testicles. Rarest form, typically presents as a painless lump. Generally has the most favorable prognosis due to localized presentation and earlier detection.
SYMPTOMS YOU SHOULD NEVER IGNORE
Shortness of Breath
Difficulty breathing even with minimal activity. May worsen over time as fluid builds up around the lungs.
Chest or Abdominal Pain
Persistent, unexplained pain in the chest or abdomen that doesn't respond to typical treatments.
Persistent Dry Cough
A cough that won't resolve, especially when paired with chest tightness or wheezing.
Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing significant weight without trying — a common warning sign of several serious underlying conditions.
Extreme Fatigue
Persistent exhaustion not relieved by rest, interfering with daily activities and quality of life.
Night Sweats & Fever
Recurring night sweats and low-grade fever, especially in combination with other symptoms on this list.
OCCUPATIONS MOST AFFECTED
Asbestos was used heavily in Navy ships and shipyards. Veterans represent over 30% of all mesothelioma diagnoses nationwide.
Drywall, insulation, floor tiles, roofing — virtually everything in buildings before the 1980s contained asbestos.
Steel mills, power plants, chemical plants, and oil refineries all used asbestos-containing equipment and insulation.
Family members who washed asbestos-contaminated work clothes were exposed to dangerous fibers and face real legal claims.
