What Is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the mesothelium, the thin tissue lining the lungs, abdomen, heart, or other organs. The primary cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, a fibrous mineral commonly used in construction, insulation, and manufacturing materials throughout the 20th century.

Asbestos fibers can be inhaled or ingested, becoming lodged in the mesothelial tissues. Over time, these fibers cause inflammation and scarring, which may lead to the development of cancer. Symptoms of mesothelioma often do not appear until decades after exposure, making early diagnosis difficult.

Types of Mesothelioma

There are three primary types of mesothelioma, each affecting different parts of the body:

• Pleural Mesothelioma: The most common type, affecting the lining of the lungs. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and persistent cough.
• Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Affects the lining of the abdomen, causing abdominal pain, swelling, and digestive issues.
• Pericardial Mesothelioma: A rare form that affects the lining of the heart, causing chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and difficulty breathing.

Common Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma symptoms vary depending on the type and stage of cancer but may include:

• Persistent cough
• Chest or abdominal pain
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Night sweats
• Fluid buildup in the lungs or abdomen

If you experience any of these symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure, seek medical attention immediately and contact a Winter Haven mesothelioma attorney to discuss your legal options.

How Asbestos Exposure Happens

Asbestos exposure is the leading cause of mesothelioma. People may be exposed to asbestos in various environments, including:

• Workplaces: Construction sites, shipyards, power plants, and manufacturing facilities.
• Military Service: Veterans, particularly those who served in the Navy, may have been exposed to asbestos in ships, barracks, and military vehicles.
• Homes and Buildings: Older homes and buildings may contain asbestos insulation, floor tiles, and roofing materials.

Even family members of workers exposed to asbestos may be at risk through secondhand exposure if asbestos fibers were brought home on clothing or personal items.

Compensation for Mesothelioma Victims

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial expenses (in wrongful death cases)

In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the asbestos manufacturer or employer acted recklessly or knowingly exposed workers to asbestos.
