NJ couple awarded $7.5 million in mesothelioma settlement

2010-09-16T09:24:00.000-07:00

It has been reported that a New Jersey couple has been awarded $7.5 million in the settlement of a mesothelioma lawsuit. The wife developed mesothelioma cancer from secondhand asbestos exposure. Primary asbestos exposure occurs when a person works directly with asbestos containing products. Secondhand asbestos exposure occurs when a person becomes exposed to asbestos from a person who has been directly exposed.

The wife experienced asbestos exposure while washing her husband's asbestos contaminated work clothes. The husband worked with asbestos containing products for over 30 years. Mesothelioma claims about 3,000 lives each year in the U.S. The cancer could have been avoided if asbestos industry companies had warned about the dangers of asbestos or provided equipment such as respirators to prevent asbestos exposure.

Asbestos debris leads to shutdown of Boston streets

2010-07-21T13:45:00.000-07:00

It has been reported that the rupture of a steam pipe caused the release of asbestos debris that has led to the shutdown of Harrison Avenue and Traveler Street. The shutdown was necessary to enable crews to transport the asbestos and dispose it properly. At the present time, crews in Hazmat suits are surface cleaning the area. Officials from the state Department of Environmental Protection and the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration are present in the area. At this time, it is unclear when the streets will reopen.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can lead to mesothelioma disease and lung cancer. Both types of illnesses are asbestos cancers. There is no cure for mesothelioma and lung cancer. Treatment options aim to provide relief from symptoms. The mesothelioma treatment PDT (photodynamic therapy) uses light of a specific wavelength to kill cancer cells. Other treatment options include surgery, radiation and immunotherapy.

Asbestos contamination forces library shut down

2010-06-18T14:41:00.000-07:00

The Orange Public Library in Orange, New Jersey is currently closed due to the discovery of asbestos in the building. The library is a historical landmark and holds over 150,000 books. The presence of asbestos was discovered by an employee and then confirmed by an investigation. Authorities initially required the library to hire licensed asbestos abatement contractors by March to remove the asbestos. When the library failed to meet this deadline, it was granted an extension to June. The library still failed to meet the June deadline and as a result, the director was suspended.

Malignant mesothelioma is the most severe form of asbestos cancer. When it develops in the lungs, it is known as pleural mesothelioma. When it develops in the abdomnal cavity, it is known as peritoneal mesothelioma. There is no cure for mesothelioma cancer. However, there are mesothelioma treatment techniques that can be effective for some patients. One such mesothelioma treatment technique is photodynamic therapy (PDT). This treatment technique uses light to kill targeted mesothelioma cancer cells. PDT is not effective for tumors that are too large or cancers that have spread too far.

Asbestos study to be conducted by Idaho State University Professor

2010-06-11T13:58:00.000-07:00

A biological sciences professor at Idaho State University will be studying the effects of asbestos at the cellular level. The study has been funded with a grant of $191,962 from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The professor stated that the study may lead to improved treatment of autoimmune diseases in people who have been exposed to asbestos. The research is expected to be completed in two years.

The asbestos cancer mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Mesothelioma symptoms can appear decades after exposure to asbestos. The symptoms can vary depending on whether a person has peritoneal mesothelioma or pleural mesothelioma (lung mesothelioma). Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdominal cavity while pleural mesothelioma affects the chest cavity. Malignant mesothelioma has no cure but there are treatment options that can be efective. Generally, mesothelioma treatment options are most effective during the early stages of mesothelioma. One mesothelioma treatment technique is photodynamic therapy (PDT).

New advance in mesothelioma treatment

2010-06-02T14:13:00.000-07:00

It has been reported that a joint study by Rosetta Genomics and New York University Langone Medical Center resulted in the identification of a potential microRNA drug target for mesothelioma cancer. The microRNA is known as miR-31 and it has demonstrated tumor suppressor qualities. miR-31 has also shown some degree of effectiveness in treatment of other cancers such as breast cancer.

Malignant mesothelioma is an asbestos cancer that claims thousands of lives in the U.S. every year. Malignant mesothelioma often manifests as peritoneal mesothelioma or pleural mesothelioma. Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdominal cavity and pleural mesothelioma affects the chest cavity and is known as lung mesothelioma. Mesothelioma symptoms often do not appear until decades after exposure to asbestos. As a result, many cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed when the cancer is already at an advanced stage and mesothelioma treatment options are of limited effectiveness. Some mesothelioma treatment approaches include surgery, radiation, immunotherapy and photodynamic therapy. These treatment techniques are generally more effective in the early stages of mesothelioma.

Asbestos dangers and the construction industry

2010-03-19T12:16:00.000-07:00

In the 20th century, asbestos was used in hundreds of construction products to make them stronger and fire-resistant. Many companies that made or distributed asbestos-containing products knew that the products can lead to cancer in people who came into contact with them. Despite this knowledge, the companies failed to disclose the dangers of asbestos in order to continue using asbestos for commercial purposes.

As a result, many people who have worked in the construction industry such as carpenters, sheet metal workers, boilermakers and plumbers are at risk of developing asbestos-related cancers such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. People who have worked in the construction industry and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer can contact asbestos attorneys for a free case review by visiting www.weitzlux.com/asbestos_612381.html

Mesothelioma lawsuit leads to $9 million verdict

2010-03-04T13:49:00.000-08:00

It has been reported that a man suffering from mesothelioma has been awarded more than $9 million from a successful mesothelioma lawsuit. He was exposed to asbestos as a child. His father worked aboard an oil tanker in areas that contained heavy concentrations of asbestos. Asbestos fibers would cling to the father's clothing and were inhaled by the son when his father returned home. The son is now 45 years old and had to undergo lung removal surgery as a result of mesothelioma. He is currently unable to work and has three children of his own.

Ships are particularly hazardous with respect to asbestos exposure because they have many confined areas containing asbestos. As a result, asbestos fibers cannot escape and people on board can inhale the asbestos fibers. Asbestos illnesses can be avoided through the use of protective clothing such as masks. Many companies in the asbestos industry knew about the fatal dangers of asbestos but concealed them from employees. As a result, thousands of lives have been lost to asbestos cancers such as mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Woman files mesothelioma lawsuit on behalf of deceased father

2010-02-09T09:25:00.000-08:00

It has been reported on www.asbestos.net that a woman whose father passed away from mesothelioma filed a lawsuit on his behalf. Mesothelioma is a cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos.The deceased father was exposed to asbestos at various jobs that he had held. He had worked as a mechanic in the U.S. Army from 1959 to 1961. He went on to work in construction from 1976 to 1983. In the construction field, he worked as a welder, mechanic and shop foreman.

Unfortunately, all the jobs held by the deceased father involve a high risk of exposure to asbestos. The injustice lies in the fact that many employers knew of the fatal dangers of asbestos but chose to conceal those dangers because asbestos is cheap and has a wide range of uses. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, contact the mesothelioma lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg. Weitz & Luxenberg is the leading U.S. mesothelioma law firm and has won billions of dollars in asbestos cases.

Former laborer diagnosed with mesothelioma

2010-01-29T12:42:00.000-08:00

It has been reported that a former laborer has recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma and is filing a lawsuit against many of the companies he previously worked for because of their role in causing asbestos exposure. During the 1970s, he had worked as a construction worker, a railroad car repair worker and a machine operator. It is highly probable that he was exposed to asbestos at these jobs. Unfortunately, many employers in the 1970s did not warn their employees of the lethal dangers of asbestos even though the employers were aware of those dangers. Further, employers did not provide employees with equipment to avoid exposure to asbestos such as masks.

Mesothelioma from secondhand asbestos exposure

2009-11-25T11:25:00.000-08:00

The wife of a former welder has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. It is believed that the wife was exposed to asbestos fibers when she washed her husband's work clothes. Welders are among a large group of workers who experience on-the-job asbestos exposure. Other workers at risk of asbestos exposure include: mechanics, sheet metal workers, plumbers and shipyard workers.

The husband worked with asbestos-containing products from 1961 to 1984. It is likely that asbestos fibers clung to his work clothes and entered his wife's respiratory system when she washed the clothes. Such a form of asbestos exposure is known as secondary asbestos exposure.

Former architect died from mesothelioma cancer

2009-11-18T13:48:00.000-08:00

A man who worked as an architect in the 1970s passed away from mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. The mesothelioma led to the development of a malignant tumor on his left lung. The pain from the tumor resembled the pain from a broken rib and was severe enough to make him unable to visit his doctor for several weeks. It is likely that the former architect was exposed to asbstos at his job. His job required him to be present at construction sites. Construction workers and architects are at risk of asbestos exposure from asbestos-containing insulation boards. When asbestos containing insulation boards are sawed or cut, they can release asbestos fibers. Inhaled asbestos fibers can lead to the development of mesothelioma cancer.

Mesothelioma patient tries to change Indiana law

2009-10-07T09:29:00.000-07:00

A 76 year old mesothelioma patient met with a state legislative committee to advocate for an amendment to an Indiana law that would extend the time for people with asbestos diseases to file lawsuits against those responsible for causing asbestos exposure. Currently, Indiana law gives people with asbestos illnesses 10 years to file an asbestos lawsuit. The 10 year period starts to run from the time of exposure to asbestos. People seeking to extend the time period argue that asbestos illnesses such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma develop more than 10 years after exposure to asbestos. Thus, under the current Indiana law, many people with asbestos diseases can not file an asbestos lawsuit. The inability to file a lawsuit imposes a financial burden on people with asbestos diseases who spend substantial amounts of money on medical treatment.

Exposed to asbestos? New lung cancer sensor can help

2009-08-31T08:33:00.000-07:00

Lung cancer is difficult to treat in part because it is often diagnosed too late. In an attempt to diagnose lung cancer in its early stages, researchers at the Israel Institute of Technology have created a sensor that can detect the presence of compounds present in the breath of lung cancer patients. The sensor can detect compounds known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These compounds are present in human breath and the sensor examines them to determine whether a person has lung cancer.

People who have been exposed to asbestos develop cancers such as lung cancer or mesothelioma decades after their exposure to asbestos. Frequently, the cancer is diagnosed too late for meaningful medical treatment. Since on-the-job asbestos exposure is the most common form of asbestos exposure, workers at risk for asbestos exposure e.g. shipyard workers, construction workers and sheet metal workers may benefit from early detection of lung cancer.

People suffering from asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma cancer maybe entitled to compensation from the asbestos industry. For a free lawsuit review from Weitz & Luxenberg asbestos lawyers, visit www.mesotheliomajobs.com

Veterans are at risk for developing mesothelioma

2009-08-27T13:45:00.000-07:00

The risk of asbestos exposure to veterans reached its peak during World War II and in the decade following the war owing to an increase in shipbuilding activities. Similarly, veterans of the Korean War and the Vietnam War were also likely exposed to asbestos. Asbestos exposure can lead to cancers such as mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer decades later. Thus, veterans should get regular check ups for asbestos cancers. Veterans should also be aware of their rights in the event that they are diagnosed with asbestos lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Weitz & Luxenberg mesothelioma attorneys and asbestos attorneys are the leading U.S. asbestos lawyers.

Former power plant workers at risk for mesothelioma

2009-08-24T13:15:00.000-07:00

Did you work at a power plant?

If so, you should get tested regularly for mesothelioma, a cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Power plants contain many asbestos containing products. Some of these products are: pipes, valves, cables and turbines. When asbestos containing products are disturbed e.g., by cutting or hammering, they can release deadly asbestos fibers into the air. These asbesos fibers can enter a person's body and lead to the development of asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later. Even those people who worked at a power plant 40 or 50 years ago are at risk for developing mesothelioma.

Weitz & Luxenberg mesothelioma lawyers represent many workers and former workers who have been diagnosed with asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma. These workers include shipyard workers, construction workers, mechanics and others.

World War II Veteran dies from Mesothelioma Cancer

2009-08-21T13:43:00.000-07:00

It has been reported that a World War II veteran passed away from mesothelioma cancer at the age of 86. After serving in World War II, the man worked in the construction industry where he worked with asbestos containing building products. He took delivery of asbestos sheets that were 8ft by 4ft. The asbestos sheets were heavy and after handling them, he would be covered with asbestos dust. He would wash his work clothes at home and inhale additional asbestos fibers in the process. The asbestos exposure eventually led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma cancer.

Weitz & Luxenberg mesothelioma lawyers represent workers and former workers who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer and asbestos lung cancer.

Mesothelioma chemotherapy study conducted in Greece

2009-08-14T08:39:00.000-07:00

The Athens University School of Medicine examined whether a chemotherapy combination involving gemcitabine and docetaxel is more effective in treating malignant pleural mesothelioma than the standard combinations of cisplatin plus pemetrexed and cisplatin plus gemcitabine. The study was conducted on 25 patients.

28% of the patients experienced a decrease in tumor size. 56% of patients experienced stability in tumor size i.e, the tumor did not grow. 16% of patients experienced a deterioration of their health condition. The researchers concluded that the results, although not too impressive, were promising.

2009-08-12T09:04:00.000-07:00

It has been reported that a plumber recently passed away from lung mesothelioma- a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. It is likely that the man was exposed to asbestos while working as a plumber from the 1950s to the 1970s. As a plumber, he worked with asbestos insulation while installing plumbing.

The spot was an indicator of mesothelioma cancer and it was soon discovered that the cancer had already spread to all of his vital organs.

Have you been exposed to asbestos at work?

2009-03-23T13:55:00.000-07:00

Weitz & Luxenberg mesothelioma attorneys would like to share the asbestos exposure history of a man who inquired about his legal options after having spent many years working as an auto mechanic. At the time he contacted the mesothelioma lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg, he only had 68% lung capacity left.

In the 1970s, he worked as an auto repairman. Asbestos is frequently used in auto parts such as brakes. This is because asbestos does not burn and is therefore suitable for use in friction products such as brakes. Mechanics who work with car brakes employ two procedures that can expose them to airborne asbestos fibers: Air-blowing brake wear debris, which usually contains dusty chrysotile asbestos; and grinding and beveling new asbestos brake linings or pads, which can release asbestos fibers into the environment.

Asbestos fibers are often invisible to the eye. Thus, a mechanic working with asbestos containing brakes is at risk for inhaling asbestos fibers without even being aware of it. Once inhaled, asbestos fibers remain within the body and can cause serious diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer decades later.

Have you been exposed to asbestos in any of the jobs you held? The sooner you get tested for asbestos-related illnesses the better.
