Mesothelioma is a type of cancer which is linked to toxic chemicals and more commonly as a direct result of to exposure to asbestos. It may affect the heart, stomach and/or the lining of the lungs.

Exposure to Asbestos

Asbestos has historically been used in industries such as the construction industry; building insulation is one of the biggest causes of workplace mesothelioma. When fibres or particles from asbestos are inhaled, they embed themselves in the cells of the internal organs, particularly the lungs, and then the damage begins. It can be 20-50 years before sufferers show signs of mesothelioma and this is why signs of this disease can also be confused with signs of aging.

At Russell Worth solicitors, we understand that being diagnosed with Mesothelioma can be a devastating and difficult time for you and your family. Russell Worth solicitors have helped many people just like you to claim for Mesothelioma compensation.
