Legal Expertise at Sammons & Berry, P.C.
Sammons & Berry, P.C. goes beyond conventional legal representation by tailoring its approach to the unique medical and professional backgrounds of asbestos exposure victims. It’s imperative to recognize that eligibility for compensation extends beyond the confines of a lung cancer or mesothelioma diagnosis. The legal experts at Sammons & Berry, P.C. consider a spectrum of illnesses, including asbestosis and asbestos-related pleural diseases, when facilitating applications for asbestos trust funds.
In-Depth Look at Asbestos-Related Illnesses:
Pleural Plaque/Thickening:
While not cancerous, scarring of the lung lining presents risks of more severe complications.
Impaired lung function and breathing are notable consequences, with asbestos markers indicating an elevated risk of lung cancer or mesothelioma.
Asbestosis:
A chronic, non-malignant scarring and fibrous hardening of the lungs resulting from prolonged asbestos exposure.
The severity of scarring or fibrosis increases with greater asbestos inhalation, leading to symptoms like breathlessness, coughing, and dry crackling inhalation sounds.
Advanced stages may culminate in cardiac failure, and the disease has a latency period of 15 to 30 years.
Lung Cancer:
Prolonged asbestos exposure heightens the probability of lung cancer, obstructing air passages and invading lung tissues.
The synergistic impact of smoking and asbestos exposure drastically amplifies the risk.
The development of lung cancer following asbestos exposure is a gradual process, with asbestos fibers trapped in the lungs over an extended period.
Mesothelioma:
A rare cancer affecting the thin membranes in the thoracic and abdominal cavities due to asbestos exposure.
Symptoms encompass breathlessness, chest pain, coughing, and weight loss.
Even short-term asbestos exposure can lead to Mesothelioma, affecting both exposed individuals and those in close proximity to contaminated clothing.
Understanding the Pervasive Health Risks:
Beyond the well-known risks of lung-related diseases, the alarming link between asbestos exposure and other serious health problems such as throat cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer cannot be ignored. The protracted latency period of these illnesses underscores the silent buildup of damage over decades, even in the absence of immediate symptoms. Consequently, staying vigilant and informed about potential asbestos-related health concerns becomes paramount.
