New York Asbestos Lawsuits
Asbestos is a dangerous fiber that can trigger a variety of severe medical conditions, such as mesothelioma. A New York asbestos lawyer is skilled in handling asbestos lawsuits that seek financial compensation for victims and their families due to exposure to this toxic substance. These cases can be complex and therefore it is essential to have a mesothelioma expert lawyer on your side.
New York has had a long-running history of asbestos litigation and many residents were exposed to this hazardous substance. In recent times there have been more claims against former asbestos producers than ever before. These cases arise out of the realization that asbestos is associated with illnesses like mesothelioma and lung cancer. The companies were aware of the dangers of the hazardous mineral, but didn't warn their employees and clients.
New York City is especially vulnerable to illnesses caused by asbestos due to its old structures and construction sites. The Brooklyn Navy Yard was a notoriously toxic place that continues to impact on the community surrounding it.
Many workers were exposed asbestos at work. However, people also get diagnosed with mesothelioma following an exposure secondarily to the harmful substances. This includes spouses of asbestos-exposure workers who were wearing their husband's work clothes and came in contact with asbestos dust on a regular basis.
The litigation associated with mesothelioma can be expensive for defendants, especially when they are incorrectly named as a defendant. A study shows that more than 3,600 lawsuits have been filed since 2014 in New York courts. This number could increase. This type of litigation is typically supported by asbestos law firms, which advertise on television during the day and encourage victims to file claims with the promise of huge settlements.
The defendants could be able to reduce the cost of these cases by arguing that their policies are in a lapse or that they are only responsible only for a small proportion of the claim value. However, New York law has not provided a definitive rule on how to divide liabilities when the alleged exposure occurs outside of the insurance company's policy.
Asbestos-related Diseases
A variety of asbestos lawsuit-related illnesses can develop due to exposure to the harmful mineral. The mesothelioma disease is the most serious. Many people have died due to mesothelioma. Other asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer and asbestosis. Pleural plaques and effusion are also asbestos-related.
Mesothelioma is a rare but fatal condition is caused by asbestos fibers which collect in the lungs. They then irritate the linings of the ribcage (the Pleura) as well as the chest cavity and abdominal cavity. Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause scarring in the lungs. This is called asbestosis. It can also lead to thickened pleura patches (pleural plaques) or an increased fibrosis. Pleural plaques or diffuse fibrosis could reduce lung capacity as determined by a breathing test. They can also cause pain and difficulties in breathing, but they don't cause cancer or mesothelioma.
Symptoms of asbestos-related disease often do not manifest until decades after the initial exposure. It can take as long as 50 years for asbestos-related fibers to be inhaled to cause lung damage. The people at risk of developing mesothelioma or other asbestos-related ailments include those who handled, washed and removed asbestos-containing products from their workplaces and their spouses and children of those who were exposed to asbestos.
In addition to mesothelioma, other asbestos-related illnesses include laryngeal cancer, lung cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma and mesothelioma of the ovary. The most dangerous form of mesothelioma is called ovarian cancer, but it's much less common than the general mesothelioma. It is diagnosed later than most other types of mesothelioma, because it develops in the linings of reproductive organs. The symptoms may be similar to other illnesses.
Several companies used asbestos during the 20th century. They knew it was dangerous. They exposed thousands of people to asbestos when they failed to remove asbestos from their products. Now, these people are able to seek financial compensation. Many asbestos-related manufacturers are bankrupt. As a result, the victims can seek the compensation they deserve from the trust funds set up by the bankruptcy courts.
