Asbestosis is a condition in which the lung tissue scars from exposure to Asbestos particles. The inflammation caused by the lung’s reaction to the Asbestos fibers reduces the total lung capacity, making it difficult to breathe and function. There is no know cure, but there are treatments, which can address the long-term effects, symptoms, and severity of Asbestosis. Most cases of Asbestosis come from direct occupational exposure, although some cases are the result of indirect exposure through air ducts or other structures containing Asbestos. Symptoms usually develop 5-10 years after Asbesos exposure occurs. Asbestosis Symptoms Symptoms of Asbestosis include:
The History of Asbestosis Settlement The link between Asbestos and the symptoms of Asbestosis was established well over 100 years ago. Since the first Asbestosis settlement in 1929, the victims of Asbestos exposure have been finding justice and assistance paying for their medical costs. The methods of treating Asbestosis symptoms have become more and more effective, but also more and more costly. As these medical costs have risen, so has the need for effective legal settlements. The compensation an individual will receive after being exposed to Asbestos, and diagnosed with Asbestosis, is often determined by an Asbestosis settlement. |
