Asbestosis Lawsuits

Our team of attorneys is currently investigating claims that exposure to asbestos causes asbestosis.

What We Know About Asbestosis

Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. There is currently no cure for asbestosis.

Asbestos is a mineral found in nature. Asbestos is resistant to heat, so it was often used in insulation, brakes, shingles, and flooring.

Symptoms of asbestosis typically don’t occur until 10 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos. Asbestosis symptoms can include:

• Shortness of breath
• A persistent, dry cough
• Chest tightness or pain
• Dry and crackling sounds in the lungs during inhalation
• Fingertips and toes that appear wider and rounder than usual (clubbing)

Professions where workers may be exposed to asbestos include the following:

• Asbestos miners
• Aircraft and auto mechanics
• Boiler operators
• Building construction workers
• Electricians
• Railroad workers
• Refinery and mill workers
• Shipyard workers

Asbestosis, Mesothelioma, and Lung Cancer

Asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer are all different conditions.

Asbestosis and mesothelioma are both likely caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers. The difference is that asbestosis is a non-cancerous lung disease; while mesothelioma is a cancer of the inner lining of several potential body parts (e.g., lungs, abdomen, etc.).

Asbestosis and lung cancer are both lung diseases. The difference is that asbestosis is caused by a buildup of airborne fibers getting trapped in the lungs, irritating and scarring the lung tissue; while lung cancer is a disease in which lung cells grow out of control.
