Seattle Asbestos & Mesothelioma Attorneys

Offering Over 20 Years of Collective Legal Experience

Despite decades of research proving that exposure to asbestos leads to a number of devastating and potentially life-threatening diseases, such as mesothelioma, the asbestos industry continued producing harmful, asbestos-containing products throughout the twentieth century.

For the public, this meant an increased risk of:

Serious illness
Injury
And death as a result of asbestos exposure

At the Law Office of J.D. Smith, PLLC, we believe that the asbestos industry should be held accountable for its failure to put public health and safety ahead of profits. If you or your loved one was diagnosed with asbestosis, mesothelioma, or any other asbestos-related condition, you have the right to take legal action.

What Conditions & Diseases Are Associated with Asbestos Exposure?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring material comprised of many microscopic fibers. By nature, it is highly flexible and durable, resistant to fire and heat, and cheap to produce, making it a popular material in the construction and manufacturing industries.

For decades, asbestos was used in everything from building insulation to car gaskets to textiles to floor tiles. When disturbed, asbestos releases its microscopic fibers into the air, where they can be breathed in or accidentally ingested.

When this occurs, the fibers become permanently lodged in the lining surrounding the:

Lungs
Abdomen
Heart
And other areas of the body

As the body vainly attempts to dispel the fibers, it can lead to abnormal cell growth (cancer). While this is perhaps the most serious illness associated with asbestos exposure, it is not the only complication that can occur.

Some of the conditions and diseases commonly associated with asbestos exposure include:

Asbestosis
Mesothelioma
Pleural thickening/plaques
Pleuritis
Pleural effusion
Lung cancer
Ovarian cancer
Testicular cancer
Laryngeal cancer
Throat cancer
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Who Is Most At-Risk For Asbestos Exposure?

The severity of asbestos-related issues ranges from mild to severe and may even result in death.

Those most at risk of developing one or more asbestos-related condition include:

Construction workers
Factory employees
Auto mechanics
And anyone who worked with or around asbestos for prolonged periods of time

The family members and others living in the same house as individuals who were exposed to asbestos were also at risk, as many workers unknowingly brought home asbestos fibers on their clothes and in their hair. In fact, anyone who has been exposed to asbestos is at risk of developing an asbestos-related disease.

Fighting for Justice & the Fair Recovery You Deserve

Although studies revealed the link between asbestos exposure and illness as far back as the turn of the century, it was not until the early 1970s that any measures were taken in the United States to limit public exposure to asbestos. And, in the early 1990s, the asbestos industry challenged and ultimately successfully overturned an attempt by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1989 to phase out and ban asbestos.

In fact, many people are surprised to learn that asbestos is not currently banned in the United States. If you suffered a chronic illness, were diagnosed with mesothelioma, or your loved one died as a result of an asbestos-related condition, our firm can help.
