About Asbestos & Mesothelioma In Los Angeles

!Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California has a history with the asbestos-related disease. According to a federal study, Los Angeles County alone averages more than 264 asbestos-related deaths each year. It’s a problem that can’t go unnoticed.

The Barnes Firm Los Angeles Mesothelioma Attorneys Will Not Rest Until Justice is Served

Mesothelioma is a rare disease and type of cancer that forms in a person’s mesothelial tissue (lung tissue). The majority of people diagnosed have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles over a long period of time. Unfortunately, mesothelioma is often found and diagnosed when it’s already in the advanced stages, and has proven to be fatal within two years of diagnosis.

Since the early 20th century, asbestos has plagued Los Angeles in many key industries, including Hollywood films. The L.A. film industry has given birth to many talented actors, writers, directors, and cinematographers — but it’s also been killing them.

For decades, some of Hollywood’s most talented people have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, cancer that is directly linked to asbestos exposure. In fact, many of Hollywood’s studios and structures still have asbestos insulation, which to this day is capable of threatening the lives of any film crew or worker who comes in contact with it.

What Diseases are Triggered by Asbestos?

Asbestos is a microscopic fiber that can have deadly effects. If it finds its way into a person’s lungs, the asbestos fiber can cause painful and often fatal diseases that develop over decades.

Some of these diseases include:

Asbestosis – a scarring and debilitating disease that affects lung tissue. It can also lead to serious, and deadly, cancers.

Mesothelioma – an incurable cancer that develops in many internal organs, most often found in the lungs. It can also be found in other organs including the stomach, spleen, and liver.

Lung Cancer – an uncontrolled growth of mutated cells that can develop in one or both lungs.

Although there are many treatment options, asbestos-related lung cancer usually has fatal outcomes and can be painful or difficult to manage.

Each of these asbestos-triggered diseases are very different in nature while having one thing in common: they are deadly. An asbestos-related death, such as mesothelioma, is tragic as well as overwhelming for all those involved. Our Los Angeles mesothelioma attorneys stand behind all victims of this disease and their family members to help them through this challenging time. Contact The Barnes law firm today so we can get you the justice you deserve.

Where Did I Encounter Asbestos?

Even though asbestos was commonly used on Hollywood sets, it was even more prevalent in household items. The companies that manufactured asbestos knew about the potentially deadly effects the fiber could have on their customers and nonetheless, decided to sacrifice the health and safety of consumers and their families in return for larger profits.

Most consumers were never warned that asbestos could cause mesothelioma or other diseases. Substitute materials were available throughout the 20th century, but they were usually more expensive than asbestos, and many companies chose to save the extra expense at the cost of the consumer.

It can be difficult to determine where a person had asbestos exposure because many Los Angeles industries commonly used it over the past century.

Some of these industries include:

• Steel Plants
• Auto Assemblies
• Paper Production
• Chemical Production
• And many others

Families across California are now fighting against mesothelioma and other deadly asbestos-related illnesses due to the negligence of selfish companies. Treatments can be extremely expensive, and in most cases, the diseases are deadly. If you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos, getting the best treatment and care can be a financial challenge – but it doesn’t have to be.

Is Asbestos Illegal?

Although asbestos use has been phased-out over the past four decades, it is still widely used in America. In fact, most countries have yet to establish bans on asbestos mining or usage.
Asbestos was heavily produced over the last 75 years and many of the homes, businesses, and products we use today still contain asbestos fibers. It is estimated that more than 15,000 Americans die from asbestos-related diseases every year, and thousands more are diagnosed with cancers and illnesses directly related to asbestos fibers.
Although it is not as common as it was 40 years ago, asbestos can be found in some of these products:

• Boilers
• Brake Shoes
• Caulking
• Ceiling tiles
• Cement
• Chalkboards
• Electric Wiring
• Fireproofing Materials
• Insulation
• Navy Ships
• Paints
• Roofing
• Siding
