It may help to understand a little about how mesothelioma came to be in the first place. There is only one cause and that, put simply, is exposure to asbestos. The use of asbestos began nearly five thousand years ago and it is now no longer allowed to be used in the United States.
Industrial use of asbestos began in the middle of the 19th century. For some time, it was used industrially without any knowledge of it making people sick. It was not until 1918 that the U.S. Government recognized the issue and began making moves to take asbestos away.
It did not work though. Despite an eventual ban on the substance and the use of it, it was still mined and manufactured into insulating material to be used in literally millions and more industries, buildings, and other structures all over the world. It became a massive export as well.
The result of all of this is that now there are many people who have died from mesothelioma and still more who are just coming down with it. This is a terrible thing and it is being dealt with on a legal level right now. People deserve compensation for becoming victim to the horrible practice of asbestos use.
The most common form of the disease is pleural mesothelioma. This is a cancer of the pleura, which is a thin sack around the lungs. The pleura is very important. It allows the lungs to easily expand and contract in order to breathe properly. This condition accounts for 75 percent of all cases of mesothelioma.
The symptoms are similar to other forms of lung cancer. This being stated, it takes a qualified physician to diagnose the disease. There are actually many other forms of mesothelioma and they are only poorly understood and not treatable.
The best that can be done for anyone who has this disease is chemotherapy and other treatments to prolong life. One's pain and suffering can be eased with palliative care. Since this is all that can be done and it is expensive to do, you should get compensation for the damages that have been done.
