Mesothelioma is unique among cancers.
The only known cause of this disease is
asbestos exposure. If you have been
diagnosed with mesothelioma, your
contact with a toxic substance is
indisputable.
The only question is
where and how you were exposed. If
you were exposed in your workplace, your
exposure is the result of corporate
irresponsibility, negligence, or willful
misconduct.

Asbestos exposure in the workplace.
What this means for your mesothelioma
claim is that you will not find it
difficult to establish that you have
suffered because of someone else's
wrongdoing. However, one of the other
unique traits of mesothelioma is its
latency period; often the disease
doesn't present itself for 15-50 years
after the exposure to asbestos. As a
result, determining the exact source of
your exposure can be challenging.
If you aren't certain of how you were
exposed or the names of the products
involved, it is essential that you
obtain legal representation from a NY
mesothelioma lawyer
with the knowledge and resources to
perform extensive investigative work on
your behalf. Asbestos litigation
requires a thorough understanding of the
types of companies and industries
involved with this dangerous material. A
successful claim occurs when an
experienced New York mesothelioma attorney can
prove that you were exposed to
asbestos by a specific product at a
specific place by a specific company.
The mesothelioma and asbestos attorneys at Belluck & Fox fully
investigate each mesothelioma case,
examining your life history to establish
any potential asbestos contact,
conducting interviews with your family,
co-workers and other relevant witnesses,
and reviewing our substantial library of
documents and testimony from previous
asbestos cases. We keep tabs on all
companies associated with
asbestos-related issues, so that we know
when new data becomes available. If the
company responsible for your asbestos
exposure has declared bankruptcy, as
many have, we are familiar with the fund
established to compensate victims of
bankrupt corporations - and we will work
to obtain the best possible resolution
for your or your loved ones.
