Representing Florida Automotive Workers in Mesothelioma Cases

The Florida mesothelioma lawyers at Wallace & Graham, PA have decades of experience representing clients from all industries. One of the most difficult parts of a mesothelioma case is accurately determining the cause of the disease; it often takes decades for asbestos exposure to cause noticeable mesothelioma symptoms, and by this time, the disease has likely reached an advanced stage.

Mesothelioma is not very common, with only about 3,000 new diagnoses in the US each year, but new cases consistently appear because of asbestos exposure that happened many years ago. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of this disease, and the five-year relative survival rate for all stages is just 15%. Treatments can slow progression and help manage symptoms, but the disease is ultimately incurable and terminal.

Why You Should Hire an Automotive Workers’ Mesothelioma Lawyer

If you worked in the automotive industry in Florida, you may have been exposed to asbestos while using various materials and chemicals or while handling various parts, such as older brake pads, heat seals, and gaskets made with asbestos. Parts manufactured prior to the mid-1980s have the greatest risk of containing asbestos. When asbestos particles enter the body, usually through the lungs, they can gradually develop into mesothelioma.

You will need the help of an experienced Florida mesothelioma attorney to accurately deduce the most likely source of the exposure that caused your condition. This may require careful review of years’ worth of employment records and other evidence. Depending on how you developed mesothelioma, you could have multiple legal options available to you: 

• If you were exposed at your current job, you may qualify to claim workers’ compensation benefits through your employer.
• If an employer or other business that is no longer operating is liable for your condition, you may qualify to file a claim with their mesothelioma trust fund.
• You could be eligible to file a personal injury claim for toxic exposure against an employer, property owner, product manufacturer, or other defendant.
