Each year there are approximately 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma diagnosed in the United States and most of the people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma don't know what it is or what causes it. Unfortunately, most people are diagnosed with mesothelioma are long after the symptoms have begun, which can impact treatment and mesothelioma lawsuits.
Mesothelioma is cancer of the mesothelium - the lining of the lungs, the lining of the abdominal cavity or around the lining of the heart. While this type of cancer is considered to be quite rare, the majority of people who have this cancer will die a year or two after being diagnosed.
Most cases of Mesothelioma can be traced directly back to asbestos exposure and to date, no other cause for this cancer has been discovered. Asbestos exposure happened through jobs that were held by people who worked with asbestos as well as some military service. Products such as Gold Bond cement used asbestos and were widely used in the construction and building of homes and buildings. Gold Bond cement is cement, and was used for floor and ceiling tiles as well as adhesive for many other products, most of which also contained asbestos.
20 years ago, materials and products such as Gold Bond cement were manufactured and constructed using asbestos until it was learned that this exposure caused Mesothelioma cancer and other various health concerns and diseases related directly to asbestos exposure.
It is unfortunate that it is not only the people who worked directly with Gold Bond cement containing asbestos that are at risk for contracting mesothelioma, but also their families. Asbestos is a fine thread that is virtually unbreakable by the body and is easily inhaled. Because it is so thin, it easily clings to skin, hair, clothing and shoes of workers using Gold Bond cement and then can be dislodged at home, and inhaled by other family members.
If you or someone you love has mesothelioma it is important to contact a qualified mesothelioma lawyer to find out if you have a potential mesothelioma lawsuit. The biggest problem with the onset of mesothelioma relating to asbestos exposure and use or production of Gold Bond cement is the length of time between the two - usually Mesothelioma symptoms don't occur until between 15 and 40 years after the initial asbestos exposure. This makes it difficult to diagnose someone with mesothelioma, as well as track asbestos exposure and label the company or companies responsible for the exposure.
If you or your family member worked in construction using Gold Bond cement, or worked to produce Gold Bond cement, a mesothelioma lawyer can help. A lawsuit can gain funds for you from the companies that made and used Golf Bond cement to help ease the pain and suffering that mesothelioma and other asbestos related diseases have brought to your family. The financial impact of such a devastating disease can ruin a family financially.
Many of the businesses who used Gold Bond cement knew of the implications of working with asbestos long before the rest of the public did. However, they continued to use Gold Bond cement containing asbestos and continued to create Gold Bond cement with asbestos in it. Asbestos is inexpensive and durable - a manufacturer's dream but a worker's long term nightmare. Call a mesothelioma lawyer today to discuss your Gold Bond cement asbestos exposure and your possibility of a lawsuit.
