New York Asbestos Lawsuits
Asbestos is a deadly fiber that can trigger a variety of severe medical conditions, such as mesothelioma. A New York asbestos attorney is experienced in handling lawsuits to seek financial compensation for those who have suffered from asbestos exposure and their families. These cases can be complicated, and it is critical to have an experienced mesothelioma law firm on your side.
New York has had a long-running history of asbestos claim litigation, and many residents were exposed to this dangerous substance. In recent years, there have been more lawsuits against asbestos producers from the past than before. These cases are a result of the recognition of a connection between asbestos and certain diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. The companies were aware of the dangers that asbestos posed but did not take the time to warn employees and consumers.
New York City is especially vulnerable to illnesses caused by asbestos because of its older structures and construction sites. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a notoriously toxic area that continues to affect the surrounding community.
Mesothelioma is triggered by direct exposure to asbestos, and many workers were exposed in the workplace. In addition, exposure to asbestos through secondhand sources can lead to mesothelioma. This includes spouses of asbestos-exposure workers who were wearing their husband's work clothes and came in contact with asbestos legal dust on a regular basis.
The litigation associated with mesothelioma can be expensive for defendants, particularly if they are wrongfully named as a defendant. According to a study, more that 3,600 claims have been filed in New York courts since 2014, and the number could increase even more. Specialized asbestos law firms often advertise on daytime TV and encourage victims to file claims under the premise that they will receive substantial settlements.
Defendants might be able to lower some of the costs arising from these cases by asserting that their policy periods have expired or they are only responsible for a tiny percentage of the amount of the claim. New York law does not have a clear rule on how to allocate the liability if the alleged exposure is part within and part outside of the insurance policies.
Asbestos-related Diseases
Exposure to asbestos can cause various illnesses. The condition known as mesothelioma is the most severe. Many people have died from mesothelioma. Other asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques, and pleural effusion.
Mesothelioma is a rare but fatal disease is caused by asbestos fibers that are found in the lungs. They then cause irritation to the linings of the ribcage (the the pleura), chest cavity, and abdominal cavity. The inhalation of these small fibers can cause scarring to the lungs called asbestosis, and sometimes the development of thickened patches on the pleura referred to as plaques of pleura or an enlargement of fibrosis in the pleura known as diffused fibrosis. Pleural plaques or diffuse fibrosis can decrease lung capacity, as measured by a breath test. They can also cause pain and difficulty in breathing, but they do not lead cancer or mesothelioma.
The majority of the time, signs of asbestos-related diseases do not appear until decades after the initial exposure. This is because it could take between 20 to 50 years for exposure to asbestos fibers to damage the lungs. People who are at risk of developing mesothelioma Claim or other asbestos-related conditions include workers who handled, cleaned and removed asbestos-containing products from the workplace, as well as spouses and children of those who were exposed to asbestos.
In addition to mesothelioma, other asbestos-related illnesses include laryngeal cancer, lung cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma, and mesothelioma of the ovary. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal mesothelioma that women suffer from, but it is less common than mesothelioma general. It is typically diagnosed later than other forms of mesothelioma because it is a cancer that develops in the lining of the reproductive organs, and the symptoms can be similar to those of other diseases.
Many companies used asbestos in the 20th century, however they were aware that it was hazardous. They exposed thousands of people to asbestos because they didn't remove it from their products. They can now claim financial compensation. Many asbestos-related companies have gone bankrupt. As a result, the victims can seek the compensation they deserve from the trust funds set up by the bankruptcy courts.
