Memphis and West Tennessee Asbestos Injury Help

Mesothelioma is a serious lung disease in which the cells of the mesothelium (membrane of the lung) become abnormal, divide and multiple without control, resulting in cancerous tumors.

CAUSE.

You may have worked at a Memphis shipyard, railroads, powerhouse, plant or construction site when exposes to asbestos, and our firm, including Tim Edwards and Ed Wallis, will work with you if you have been exposes to asbestos and diagnosed with an illness, including mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Companies that manufactured, sold and installed asbestos products had extensive knowledge of the deadly hazards of asbestos as early as 1920. These companies either did not warn of the risks of asbestos or poorly warned. These companies, in our opinion, did not protect their (or other) workers. The end result is that far too many persons have unnecessarily and tragically contracted mesothelioma.

NUMBERS.

• It has been well documented for many years that asbestos exposure can result in the development of deadly cancers, particularly Mesothelioma.
• Mesothelioma has a latency period of 20 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos. It is estimated that there will be about 250,000 cases of Mesothelioma before 2020.
• There are currently about 3000 new cases of Mesothelioma diagnosed per year, mostly in men over the age of 40.
• About 4,000 People die each year from Mesothelioma. During the 20th century, some 30 million tons of asbestos were used in industrial sites, homes, schools, shipyards and commercial buildings in the U. S.
• More than 700,000 people have filed claims against more than 6,000 Asbestos companies.
• These same companies knew of the dangers for many years before ever warning the public of those risks. It is thought that around eight million people in the United States have been exposed to asbestos over the past half a century, and many more cases - are expected to be reported in the next 25 years.
