Asbestos and Mesothelioma Lawsuits

Victims of asbestos disease and their families may be entitled to compensation because manufacturers of asbestos-containing products allegedly knew about asbestos's dangers, including that it causes cancer, as early as the 1930's.

These companies allegedly did not advise workers of the potential hazards of their products, nor did they make any effort to put warning labels on the products to inform workers of the dangers of asbestos.

As a result of this alleged failure to warn, thousands of workers contend that they have developed asbestos-related diseases.  Many of them have lost their lives.

Our law firm represents Oregonians who assert that they were injured by asbestos exposure, particularly those people diagnosed with mesothelioma, a malignant tumor in the lining of the lung or the abdominal cavity.

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that has been used for insulation, as a fire retardant material, and in construction products in a wide variety of products. Because of its fibrous nature, asbestos produces dust that is inhaled and deposits in the lungs of people. Asbestos inhalation can cause terminal illnesses such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. The widespread use of asbestos in the United States ended in the 1970's thanks to government enactments of stricter regulations for workplace exposure.
