Mesothelioma

What is Mesothelioma? It (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in the cells of the mesothelium, which become abnormal and divide without any control and order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum.

As the rate of the disease has increased, a new breed of lawyers - those dealing specifically with mesothelioma lawsuits - have stepped in to fight for the rights of victims afflicted with this disease. These lawyers and law firms often deal exclusively with this disease victims and their families who wish to claim compensation from the companies that were responsible for their exposure to asbestos. These lawsuits often result in millions of dollars for the victims when handled by an experienced lawyer or law firm.
