Personal Injury and Mesothelioma Attorney in Houston
A person who has been exposed to asbestos will not become ill immediately, but prolonged contact with asbestos particles may facilitate the growth of malignant cells over a period of time (20-50 years) that develop into mesothelioma. One out of every 125 deaths of people over age 50 in the U.S., mostly men, is due to mesothelioma. Symptoms include shortness of breath, weight loss, chest or abdominal pain and loss of appetite. Less frequently, symptoms of persistent cough with or without blood, hoarseness and difficulty swallowing may exist.
A few of the occupations that present the most danger include:
- Asbestos removal workers
- Auto mechanics (brakes, clutches)
- Carpenters
- Demolition workers
- Insulators
- Longshoreman/merchant marines
