New York Asbestos Lawsuits

Asbestos is a dangerous fiber that can cause various serious medical conditions, including mesothelioma. A New York asbestos lawyer is adept at handling asbestos lawsuits which seek financial compensation for the victims and their families for exposure to this toxic substance. These cases can be complicated, so it's important to have a mesothelioma attorney on your side.

New York has had a long-running history of asbestos litigation, and many residents were exposed to this dangerous substance. In recent years there have been more lawsuits filed against former asbestos producers than ever before. These cases are a result of the recognition of a connection between asbestos and diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer and asbestosis. These companies were aware asbestos' dangers but did not take the time to warn their employees and customers.

New York City is especially susceptible to illnesses caused by asbestos because of its older structures and construction sites. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a notoriously toxic area that continues to affect the community around it.

Many workers were exposed asbestos at work. However, people also get diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of secondhand exposure to the harmful substances. This includes spouses of asbestos-exposed workers who were wearing their husband's work clothes and came into contact with asbestos dust regularly.

Mesothelioma-related litigation can be expensive for defendants. This is particularly the case if they were wrongly identified as defendants. According to an investigation, more than 3,600 lawsuits have been filed in New York courts since 2014 and the number could increase further. Specialized asbestos law firms typically advertise on daytime TV and encourage victims to file claims, promising they will receive significant settlements.

The defendants could be able to reduce the cost of these cases by arguing that their policies are in a lapse or that they are only responsible for only a small percentage of the claim value. However, New York law has not established a clear rule on how to divide liabilities when the alleged exposure occurs partly within and outside the insurer's policy periods.

Asbestos-Related Diseases

A variety of asbestos-related diseases can develop due to exposure to the mineral that causes cancer. The mesothelioma condition is the most severe. Mesothelioma has caused the death of many people. Other asbestos-related illnesses include lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques, and pleural effusion.

Mesothelioma is a rare, but fatal illness that is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers that accumulate in the lungs and cause irritation to the lining of the ribcage, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity (the the pleura). The inhalation of these tiny fibers can cause scarring to the lungs known as asbestosis and sometimes the formation of thickened patches on the pleura referred to as plaques on the pleura, or an enlargement of fibrosis in the pleura known as diffused fibrisis. Pleural plaques and diffused fibrosis decrease lung capacity, as measured by breathing tests. They can also cause pain and difficulties in breathing, but they don't cause mesothelioma or cancer.

Most of the time, symptoms of asbestos-related diseases don't manifest until decades after initial exposure. This is because it can take between 20 to 50 years for inhalation of asbestos fibers to damage the lungs. People at risk of developing mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related diseases include those who handled, cleaned, and removed these materials from their workplaces and their spouses and children of those who were exposed to asbestos.

As well as mesothelioma, other asbestos-related diseases include laryngeal cancer, lung cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, and mesothelioma ovarian. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal form of mesothelioma for women, but it is less common than mesothelioma in general. It is often diagnosed later than other types of mesothelioma because it develops in the tissues of the reproductive organs and the symptoms can be similar to symptoms of other illnesses.

Several companies used asbestos during the 20th century. They were aware that it was a risk. They exposed thousands of people to asbestos if they didn't remove asbestos from their products. Now, those exposed are able to claim financial compensation. Many asbestos-related companies have filed for bankruptcy. As a result, the victims can seek the money they are entitled to from trust funds established by the bankruptcy courts.
