Uncontrolled division of cells is essentially what cancer is, with the most fatal of all of the asbestos-related cancers being mesothelioma. Other cancers caused by asbestos include the following:
- lung cancer
- gastrointestinal cancer
- colorectal cancer
The largest number of deaths related to the exposure of asbestos is by malignant lung cancer.
In addition, asbestos exposure can increase the risk of developing throat, kidney, esophagus and gallbladder cancer, as well as multitude of other health problems.
The World Health Organization reports that of all the deaths related to cancer that were caused by exposure of a carcinogen at work, asbestos has been pinpointed as the exact carcinogen for half of them. That is a staggering statistic.
Lawsuits are typically litigated as product liability claims under theories of negligence and strict liability. Plaintiffs can proceed against the former manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of asbestos-containing products that were used at the job sites. There are situations where manufacturers have actively withheld knowledge of the hazardous effects of asbestos and have disseminated information indicating that asbestos was a safe substance. If you or a loved one have been exposed to asbestos and have experienced any of these dangerous diseases, contact the experienced asbestos lawyers at Pulaski Law Firm PLLC and get the justice you deserve.
