If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer that attacks the lining of the body’s internal organs, you may have been exposed to asbestos while on a jobsite.
An estimated 10,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed around the world each year, and many of these victims are women and children. The numbers of diagnoses continue to rise.
Following a mesothelioma diagnosis, the typical prognosis for a patient is fewer than five years.
Although companies were aware of the dangers of asbestos as early as the 1920’s, many continued to produce asbestos-containing products for commercial and construction use. Many of these companies failed to warn workers about the dangers of asbestos and also failed to teach them preventative measures to keep them from transferring asbestos back into their homes.
Your health and well-being may have been put at risk because those companies put profits before safety.Motley Rice Mesothelioma Lawyers Fight For Mesothelioma Victims

In 2002, the second most common occupation recorded on the death certificates of mesothelioma victims was “housewife,” according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Household exposure to asbestos occurs among people exposed to hazardous asbestos fibers who never worked directly with the material. These victims are usually women, children and grandchildren who inhaled asbestos fibers that were brought home from the workplace on the clothes, hair or skin of someone who worked with asbestos.
For example, a man who worked with asbestos in a shipyard may have brought asbestos fibers home on his clothing and tools. When he hugged his wife and children, he may have unknowingly exposed them to harmful asbestos fibers that remained on him.
