Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure. But some people who are diagnosed do now know where or when they were exposed. Here we discuss what steps can be taken to pinpoint asbestos exposure - even if it occurred long ago.

How Do I Prove
I Was Exposed
To Asbestos?

2. There is ONE known cause
of mesothelioma:
Exposure to asbestos.

3. When someone
learns of a
mesothelioma
diagnosis,
a common
question arises:
“Where and when
was I exposed to
asbestos?”

4. According to the American Cancer
Society, about 3,000 new cases of
mesothelioma are diagnosed
every year in the U.S.

5. Many people diagnosed with mesothelioma
were exposed to asbestos at work.

6. Construction, mining,
shipbuilding, insulation, and
manufacturing are just a few of
the many industries in which
asbestos exposure was
common.

7. Workers in these industries
may have been exposed to
asbestos, and their family
members may have been
exposed when asbestos fibers
were brought home.

8. There are
other potential
sources
of asbestos
exposure,
as well.

9. The good news for mesothelioma victims is
that they do not have to investigate the
source of their exposure alone.

10. After a
mesothelioma
diagnosis, it is
advisable to speak
to an attorney who
can help pinpoint
where and when the
asbestos exposure
occurred.

11. It is critical to choose a law firm
with the resources to fully
investigate your case.

12. Mesothelioma
cases
are highly
complex.
In many cases, asbestos
exposure occurred decades
ago. Some of the companies
that used asbestos are no
longer in operation.
