Mesothelioma Cases In Massachusetts
Mesothelioma is a disease of the industrialized world that has struck Americans in every state, including Massachusetts. The only known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, a material used in many manufactured products and work environments since the late 1800s. Since the 1930s, medical researchers have been spreading the news that asbestos exposure can result in the development of mesothelioma for many unfortunate sufferers of the disease.
The Difficult Road Ahead After Developing Mesothelioma
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, then you and your family are probably already acutely aware of the expenses and losses that you are facing. You will need to pay for medical treatment. You will most likely be unable to work for long periods of time. Since there is no known cure for mesothelioma, your future may feel uncertain for a long time.
At Kelley Ferraro, LLC, we believe that you deserve a fighting chance at a decent quality of life for as long as possible. Mesothelioma litigation aims to accomplish this by providing people who were exposed to asbestos and later developed this terrible disease with the resources needed to cope with this challenging outcome.
We bring injury claims and lawsuits on behalf of mesothelioma sufferers nationwide. Our attorneys have recovered over $1 billion for asbestos and mesothelioma clients throughout the United States.
We are prepared to work hard to determine when and where you were likely exposed to asbestos while living or working in Massachusetts. This information can pave the way to a successful claim for compensation for you and your family in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge or anywhere else in the state.
Determination Of When And Where You Were Exposed To Asbestos
If we represent you, we will examine your work history and compare it with documentation of jobsites known to have posed hazards of asbestos exposure over your lifetime. You may have been exposed to asbestos in a building that was constructed using tiles or pipes contaminated with this dangerous substance. Or, you may have worked directly with asbestos-riddled materials in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
Mesothelioma cases in Massachusetts run the gamut of a great variety of circumstances by which people have been exposed to asbestos. You may have been working in a hospital, university, financial institution, research facility, commercial fishing facility, food processing plant, tobacco product manufacturing facility, shoe factory, textile factory, pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, or printing or publishing establishment. You may have been exposed to asbestos while you were overseas in the military after being deployed from a base in Massachusetts or elsewhere in the U.S. You may have experienced secondhand exposure by way of a family member who worked in a hazardous work environment, bringing home asbestos fibers in their hair or embedded in their clothing.
