The tragedy surrounding the asbestos industry in the United States is that a vast majority of the harm it caused was entirely preventable. As early as the first century, asbestos exposure was suspected to cause health problems. Throughout the twentieth century, doctors connected a number of diseases to the negative effects of asbestos contamination. Yet, despite knowing the dangers, a number of companies continued to manufacture, sell and design asbestos products. Over time, this led to an increase in asbestos  lawsuits.
If you have suffered from mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease due to the negligence of an employer or manufacturer, you are entitled to compensation through asbestos exposure lawsuits.
