Understanding Mesothelioma Cancer

Those who suffer from mesothelioma know it is a difficult disease to beat. Oftentimes, the disease goes undetected until its later stages, making it even more difficult to overcome. At The Throneberry Law, we walk you through the steps necessary to get the highest-quality medical treatment possible. We want to help alleviate your painful suffering, while simultaneously fighting for the rightful compensation you and your family deserve.

What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer that affects the tissue around the lungs, heart, and other internal organs. It is only caused by exposure to asbestos, and often presents itself 30 to 40 years after that exposure. The disease is fatal, but proper treatment can extend a person’s life by years and significantly ease the pain and symptoms that accompany the illness.

Mesothelioma is a rare disease, with only about 3,000 new cases diagnosed every year. It can take three primary forms, each with its own symptoms:

Pleural mesothelioma

Pleural mesothelioma accounts for over 70% of mesothelioma cases, and affects the lining around the lungs. Symptoms include chest pain, breathing problems, and fluid in the chest cavity.

Peritoneal mesothelioma

Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the tissue around the abdominal organs. This form of the disease is found in around 20% of cases, and is accompanied by abdominal pain and swelling, as well as vomiting, fever, and bowel problems.

Pericardial mesothelioma

Pericardial mesothelioma is the rarest form of the disease, affecting the protective lining that surrounds the heart. Symptoms include chest pain, cough, and irregular heartbeat.

The Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Some of the most common symptoms associated with mesothelioma include the following:

Dry coughing
Fatigue
Fever
Fluid around the lungs
Muscle weakness
Pain in abdomen or chest
Pain in abdomen or chest
Shortness of breath

The symptoms associated with mesothelioma typically do not surface until tumors related to the condition grow and spread throughout the body. In many instances, mesothelioma is not diagnosed until 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure occurs. For this reason, many people diagnosed with mesothelioma are over the age of 60.

Take the First Step Toward Mesothelioma Compensation

Mesothelioma victims may be entitled to various forms of compensation, which serve to alleviate the immense burden this disease places on individuals and their families. These compensations include:

Health Care Costs

Compensation for past, current, and future medical treatments related to mesothelioma, including surgery, chemotherapy, and other therapies. That ensures that the cost of medical care, often extensive in such cases, does not become a barrier to receiving the most optimal treatment.

Lost Wages

We fight for reimbursement for income lost due to mesothelioma-related disabilities, treatment, and inability to work. We understand that being unable to earn a living adds even more stress for victims and their families.

Pain And Suffering

Compensation for physical discomfort, emotional agony, and decreased quality of life caused by mesothelioma and its treatment. Recognizing the profound impact of this disease on every aspect of life, compensation for pain and suffering acknowledges the non-financial toll of mesothelioma.

Wrongful Death

Reparations for surviving family members in cases where mesothelioma leads to the death of a loved one, including funeral costs and loss of financial support. This provision aims to provide some measure of relief during a time of unimaginable loss.

Punitive Damages

Mesothelioma victims deserve additional compensation to penalize the liable parties for their negligence or misconduct in exposing them to asbestos. These damages serve not only as a penalty but also as a deterrent against future negligence.

Moving forward in seeking compensation can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face this challenge alone. Our dedicated legal team specializes in mesothelioma and asbestos litigation, ensuring your case is handled with proficiency and empathy. We support you at every step, working tenaciously to obtain the compensation and justice you deserve.
