Asbestos Lawsuits for Mesothelioma and Asbestosis

Most people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis have been exposed to asbestos from a job where they were breathing asbestos fibers.

Industrial fields where workers were exposed to asbestos:

  • Factory Workers
  • Ship Builders
  • Brake Repair Workers
  • Construction Workers
  • Insulation Manufacturers and Installers
  • Asbestos Miners

As a result of inadequate safety precautions and a lack of warnings provided for decades, workers may be left with a devastating asbestos injury decades after this exposure, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer and other complications.

A growing number of cases have also surfaced involving second-hand asbestos exposure, where the individual lived with someone who worked around asbestos and may have breathed fibers that were carried home on their clothing or in their hair. This has been found to occur among spouses who washed the workers’ clothes and among children who were held by their father after coming home covered in asbestos fibers.

The asbestos attorneys at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. review potential injury lawsuits for individuals throughout the United States who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis. To review a potential claim for yourself, a friend or family member, request a free consultation.

Suffered an Injury from Asbestos Exposure?


It is estimated that approximately 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed each year.  Most begin in the chest cavity. 

Because the signs of mesothelioma, asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases often take a long time to manifest, diagnosis of these ailments often comes decades after exposure.

There is no cure for these asbestos exposure injuries and most of those who are diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos often only have a prognosis of one to five years after the illness is discovered.

In many cases, industries and employers knew for years that asbestos exposure was dangerous to their workers, but put profits ahead of worker safety and failed to warn them of the dangers of exposure and failed to provide the proper safety equipment.

Many individuals each year are able to obtain an asbestos settlement, as massive jury verdicts have repeatedly been handed down throughout the United States.
