Mesothelioma is a rare cancer
in the general population. However, in individuals that were
exposed to asbestos, it is not as rare. That’s because
the only known, established cause of mesothelioma is
asbestos. Each year 2,500 to 4,000 patients in the
U.S. are diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related
diseases.
This disease was
preventable. Many of the corporations that
manufactured and profited from the sale of
asbestos-containing products were aware of the hazards of
asbestos. The manufacturers did not warn workers exposed to
the asbestos in their products until, at the earliest, the
mid-1960’s and the warnings were terribly inadequate. The
result is that many Americans have unnecessarily and
tragically contracted asbestos-related diseases such as
mesothelioma.
The large settlements
and verdicts associated with mesothelioma cases are not
accidental. Jurors who have the opportunity to
review the internal documents of these manufacturers and
sellers of these products are outraged by the
actual knowledge of these corporations and access to
knowledge about the hazards of asbestos.
