Mesothelioma Lawyers in Tennessee


Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for Mesothelioma. Millions of workers have been exposed to asbestos dust since the 1940’s. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated that there are 107,000 schools and 733,000 public and commercial buildings have materials in them made of asbestos. Asbestos was banned in 1989 for new buildings but older buildings still contain asbestos-related materials. Many people who have suffered injuries from asbestos did not know at the time they were exposed that asbestos was harmful. As a result, some states enacted laws allowing people to file lawsuits for a certain amount of time after the date when their asbestos-related lung impairment or cancer was detected, rather than from the date they were exposed to the asbestos. An attorney can tell you whether you still have time to file a lawsuit within the limitation period applicable in your state.
