Asbestos mesothelioma is a form of cancer - a cancer of the 'Mesothelium', which is a sac that protects and covers many of the internal organs of our body. Many people think that hardly anyone gets this type of cancer anymore, but statistics indicate that about 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the U.S. alone, each and every year.
What Can I Do If I Have Been Diagnosed?
If you have been diagnosed with asbestos mesothelioma, you should follow all your doctor's orders and prescribed course of treatment. As well, you should also consider contacting an mesothelioma attorney. Many attorneys specialize in helping persons who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma - most importantly in investigating if monetary reimbursements are due to the patient. A negligent business who exposed their workers and did not adequately protect them may be required, if found guilty, to compensate those workers for medical bills, as well as for their pain and suffering. A qualified asbestos and mesothelioma attorney will work closely with your doctor and help you win your case.
