Asbestos and Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits have not been used often in asbestos cases. Most often people try to represent themselves and pursue legal action as an individual, as opposed to with a larger group of distraught and affected peoples.

Although there have been a few cases of class action legal battles involving asbestos and mesothelioma since the '60s, they are very infrequent compared to a single client-attorney case involving asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma Attorney Lawyers and Symptoms

So if your wondering if you have mesothelioma and need an attorney then here is the info you (we) need.

What is Mesothelioma? Malignant Mesothelioma, as it is otherwise known as, is a form of cancer that develops in the protective lining on the inside of the lungs and other organs (the lining is called the mesothelium).

What are the symptoms of Mesothelioma? Mesothelioma symptoms do not start to show until about 20+ years after exposure. So if you think you have been exposed to asbestos then you should get regular scans and checkups. Sometimes early symptoms may include: emphysema, constipation,weight gain, congestive heart failure, night sweats, shortness of breath, chest pain, bowel obstruction, a buildup of fluid on a chest x-ray, and swelling of the feet. Testicular Mesothelioma is even rarer and only about 100 cases have been found, but lumps on the testicles and swelling of the scrotum are often early symptoms.

How do I find a good lawyer for Mesothelioma? Here are some lists of some attorney's from some of the larger cities in Canada and USA:
