Representing Electricians in Tennessee Mesothelioma Cases

Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma, and asbestos was widely used throughout the US for many years until the health risks of this substance became undeniable. About 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed throughout the US each year, and if you have received such a diagnosis after working as an electrician, it’s vital to speak with a Tennessee mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible.

You may have multiple options for claiming compensation and will need an attorney’s help to reach favorable results.

Claiming Compensation for Mesothelioma in Tennessee

The first step of any mesothelioma case is determining the most likely source of the asbestos exposure that caused your diagnosis. Electricians often work in older buildings, utility rooms, inside of walls, and in crawlspaces that may pose serious asbestos exposure risks. For example, asbestos-containing insulation is one of the most commonly cited risks electricians face when performing their job duties.

Asbestos exposure takes a very long time to develop into mesothelioma. Some individuals aren’t diagnosed until many years or even several decades following exposure, and this can make it very challenging for them to accurately determine the most likely source of their exposure.

Your Tennessee electricians’ mesothelioma lawyer will help you determine when, where, and how you were most likely exposed to asbestos. You may qualify to file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer if you were exposed at your current job, and you may also be eligible for a claim to a mesothelioma injury trust fund. Alternatively, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim for toxic exposure against a specific defendant.

Mesothelioma is a terminal diagnosis, with only a 15% average five-year relative survival rate for all stages of this cancer. Even if mesothelioma is detected at an early stage, treatment can only manage symptoms and slow the disease’s progression. This is ultimately an incurable and terminal form of cancer. Receiving this news is life-changing for the victim and their family.
