History of Asbestos Claims


The cause of mesothelioma is known, and in most cases it is a result of exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately, a large number of people have been exposed to asbestos without their consent and more than anyone without knowledge of the health risk involved, even though since the 1930s there is evidence that it causes health problems, and since 60s, it is known to produce mesothelioma.
However, since the 1940s, sales of asbestos began to rise because the industrialized countries began to move their industries to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and India, transferring health risks to the population of our countries.




By 2010, 52 countries had already banned the use and manufacture of asbestos in their soils. Not so in Mexico, which is a large asbestos factory.

Many of these large asbestos companies went bankrupt, because of the weight of the lawsuits filed against them by affected individuals. The companies established "bankruptcy funds" or "stock exchanges" destined to cover the failures of reparation of damages that would result from the demands that continue being filed against them.

Legal options

It is the right of mesothelioma patients and their families to know that there may be a possibility of filing a lawsuit against foreign companies responsible for their exposure to asbestos, and to do so from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Brazil and other countries. If you live in the United States, you can do it even more easily.

Frequently, these are North American and Canadian companies that sent products manufactured with asbestos around the world. These companies, exported asbestos around the world with knowledge and intent.

If you have mesothelioma, or have lost a family member because of this disease, you could take legal action - such as a claim for pecuniary compensation or damages.

With this action, companies are required to take responsibility for their intentional acts, while the patient or his family could compensate to a certain extent the expenses of the disease.

The legal action is interposed with the support of expert lawyers in the matter who will evaluate your case to determine if you have the right to exercise it. The expert lawyers operate with minimum discomfort towards the family that is going through a difficult time, and should not have any initial cost for you. The chances of success depend to a large extent on the country you are in and where the exposure occurred. Call us directly to give more information.

In some cases, Mexican mesothelioma patients can exercise legal action by filing a claim for damages against these companies, since they could be found responsible for the manufacture of the products to which they were exposed, at the expense of your health. Even if they did not work in the United States, some lawsuits are viable, as a lawyer using a lawyer.

It is a fabric that covers the surface of the serous membranes which, in turn, line the inner wall of the chest, abdomen and space around the heart. Depending on the affected area, the mesothelium takes on different names. The main risk factor for this disease is exposure to asbestos.  This term indicates a family of minerals rather common in nature with a fibrous structure very resistant to heat.
