Mesothelioma May Cause Lung Cancer

Information Provided by our Mesothelioma Lung Cancer Attorneys

Based on our experience as an asbestos exposure law firm, we know that asbestos exposure dramatically increases the chance of getting lung cancer, especially in smokers. While a smoker may have a 10 times greater chance of getting lung cancer than a non-smoker, a smoker who works around asbestos has up to a 90-times-greater chance of getting lung cancer or mesothelioma.

For many years, companies knew of the potential health hazard of lung cancer when working around asbestos. Instead of warning their workers, most companies simply ignored the dangers. Lung cancer is sometimes treatable, but it is very important that the cancer be caught in its early stages of development.
