Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma, and plumbers have historically faced significant exposure risks while performing their job duties in Ohio. Whether you have worked in known asbestos hotspots like the Kyger Creek Plant or have performed plumbing work on older buildings that contain asbestos pipes, an Ohio plumbers mesothelioma lawyer is an invaluable asset for determining liability and claiming compensation for your diagnosis.

The attorneys at Wallace & Graham, PA have years of proven experience helping clients with mesothelioma claims nationwide. Plumbers face the risk of asbestos exposure when they work in older buildings that still contain asbestos or when they must cut and grind older cement pipes made with asbestos. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma after working as a plumber, you should hire a plumbers mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible to help with your case.
There are only about 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma diagnosed nationwide each year, according to the American Cancer Society. The health risks of asbestos exposure are widely understood today, but new cases continue appearing because of asbestos exposure that happened many years ago. It can take decades for mesothelioma to progress to the point where it causes noticeable symptoms, making tracing the origin very difficult in many cases.
Our firm can help you determine the most likely source of the asbestos exposure that caused your condition and explain your legal options. You may have grounds to file a personal injury case for toxic exposure, claim workers’ compensation benefits through your employer, or file a claim with a mesothelioma injury trust. This is a terminal diagnosis, and the average five-year survival rate for all stages of pleural mesothelioma is only 15%, so you should speak to a lawyer right away.
Many companies that formerly manufactured asbestos products were required to establish mesothelioma injury trusts to compensate those adversely affected by their products. Your Ohio plumbers mesothelioma attorney can determine your eligibility to file a claim to one of these trusts and guide you through the process. You may also be eligible to claim workers’ compensation benefits if you developed mesothelioma at your current job.
