Asbestos

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been commonly used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire-retardant. Inhaling tiny Asbestos particles is known to cause a number of debilitating and often fatal illnesses, including Asbestosis (irreversible lung scarring), Mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal lining), and lung cancer.

The Environmental Protection Agency and other government agencies have banned several Asbestos products and manufacturers have also voluntarily limited uses of Asbestos. Still, Asbestos is commonly found today in older homes and in a number of materials. The sad fact is many suspected a link between Asbestos exposure and lung disease long before preventative measures were put in place. Many businesses made little or no effort to protect workers from breathing in Asbestos particles, putting profits ahead of health and safety. Yet many of these same companies continue to deny medical claims from former employees who suffer from Asbestos-related illnesses.

The attorneys of James F. Humphreys & Associates will not allow Asbestos victims to suffer with financial uncertainty. Our nationally experienced Asbestos attorneys understand the precedent for Asbestos-related cases, and can recommend a course of legal action.
