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.
