This includes workers who handled asbestos raw substances, workers who worked at manufacturing or processing sites for asbestos as well as those who lived near these sites.

As the lawsuit progresses lawyers must determine the exact circumstances under which the plaintiff was exposed to asbestos. In this process, it's often beneficial to interview the plaintiff or his or their family. This helps establish the dates, time and duration of the exposure as well as whether the exposure was continuous. The more information that can be given to the attorney the more successful the case could be.

While the vast majority of asbestos-related incidents involve occupational exposure but some victims have also experienced exposure to asbestos through the air and were exposed through the use of consumer products that are contaminated. Inhalation of asbestos is the most common method of exposure, and usually causes illness. However, dermal contact or eating contaminated seafood can also be ways of being exposed.

The toxicity of asbestos may cause a variety of illnesses, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer as well as plaques in the pleura. The symptoms typically begin with a shortness of breathe and coughing. Other symptoms include abdominal pain, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Some people are exposed to naturally occurring asbestos in the air outside and the resulting lower levels of exposure seldom lead to a condition.

Nearly every industry using asbestos has had injuries related to the substance. The most hazardous jobs, like asbestos miners, are the most likely to suffer from Asbestos Compensation-related illnesses. However those who have been exposed to other asbestos-related debris are also at risk.

This will include a chronological account of the patient's life and employment history, as well as identifying all asbestos-containing products they handled and used in their various jobs.

This information is essential to a mesothelioma suit since asbestos exposure can happen over the course of a number of years. It is difficult to determine a specific employer or company as the cause of the condition. A mesothelioma lawyer may use an asbestos database to to identify possible defendants and construct an effective legal argument on behalf of their client.
