Asbestos exposure has been linked to many life threatening illnesses including mesothelioma, lung cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer. These cancers can take decades to develop after exposure to asbestos.

Mesothelioma is a rare, incurable, asbestos-related cancer. While asbestos exposure is dangerous in any capacity, mesothelioma typically is found in individuals who have experienced long-term exposure to this harmful material. This illness causes a malignant tumor to develop from asbestos fibers that have been inhaled. Most diagnosed cases are pleural mesothelioma, which forms on the lining of the lungs, however, mesothelioma tumors can form on the linings of the abdomen, heart, and testes.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma
Asbestos lung cancer is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. While only a small percentage of lung cancer cases are primarily linked to asbestos, asbestos exposure can increase the risk of developing lung cancer in tobacco smokers.
Lung cancer is aggressive and is the leading cause of cancer related death in the United States. This cancer claims more American lives than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. Lung cancer caused by asbestos is responsible for approximately 6,000 deaths in the U.S. every year. Lung cancer can take 15-35 years to develop after individuals are exposed to asbestos.
Symptoms of Lung Cancer
Throat cancer refers to cancer affecting both the Pharynx, the tube through which we swallow, and the Larynx, that contains our vocal cords. Exposure to asbestos has been linked with an increased risk of developing throat cancer in either of these places. This is a difficult cancer that often comes with delayed symptoms. Those exposed to asbestos should have regular cancer screenings.
Symptoms of Throat Cancer
Asbestos fibers are microscopic and can easily be inhaled by those working around it. When asbestos fibers make their way into your body they become trapped. Over time these fibers can cause many health problems, including esophageal cancer. If you worked with asbestos and have developed this rare and devastating cancer, reach out to our team to learn more about the compensation you may be entitled to.
Symptoms of Esophageal Cancer
When asbestos is ingested, dangerous fibers can travel throughout the digestive tract. These fibers will become trapped, which leads to inflammation, internal tearing, and in some cases the development of cancer. Stomach cancer may take decades to develop after exposure to asbestos. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with stomach cancer after working with asbestos, our team can help you.
Symptoms of Stomach Cancer
Colon cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the large intestine and has been linked to asbestos exposure. Many individuals with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms do appear, they’ll likely vary, depending on the cancer’s size and location in your large intestine. If you have been exposed to asbestos, regular cancer screenings are recommended as it may take decades for cancers to develop. Catching cancer in its earliest stages provides better treatment options.
Symptoms of Colon Cancer
Mesothelioma, lung cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer have all been linked to prolonged asbestos exposure. Our team can work with you to gather the necessary information to prove you worked with asbestos prior to developing cancer. Reach out to us today to learn more about which asbestos trusts you qualify for.
Individuals with a history of smoking or family history of cancer may be at higher risk for developing an asbestos-related cancer. Having an increased risk of cancer does not disqualify you from getting compensation. Learn more about the compensation available for those living with cancer after asbestos exposure when you contact our firm.
In many cases, it can take decades for cancer to develop in individuals that were exposed to asbestos. If you worked with or around asbestos for an extended period of time you will want to schedule regular cancer screenings to monitor your health and catch early signs of illness. Whether you were just diagnosed with cancer or have a history fighting the disease, we can help you get compensation.
Yes, you can upgrade or file a new claim with trusts if you get cancer. If you qualify, you will be paid the difference between the amount the cancer claim pays and the amount you already received for the non-cancer asbestos trust claim.
Asbestos trust claims are available to individuals with different medical conditions. Some cancers such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer may develop due to asbestos exposure. Additionally, exposure can lead to breathing difficulties and shortness of breath.
Our team is committed to fighting for the rights of individuals and their families that have been exposed to asbestos.
