What is Mesotheliona?
Malignant mesothelioma is a cancerous tumor of the pleura (lining of the lung and chest cavity) or peritoneum (lining of the abdomen) that is the result of exposure to asbestos. About 3,000 new cases of mesotheliona are diagnosed each year, usually men. It can take 20-50 years between exposure to asbestos and the onset of the cancer. The most common symptoms are difficulty breathing and chest pain. Failure to diagnose mesotheliona, soon after onset, has very serious consequences. The tumor spreads rapidly to other organs and it does not respond well to treatment. Mesothelioma patients can suffer from intense, often constant, pain from the tumors pressing on nerves, organs, or bones.
Failure to Diagnose Mesotheliona Lawsuit
Compensation for failure to diagnose mesotheliona may include payment for medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of earnings, emotional stress, and other damages. It is vital to act quickly. The law limits the amount of time after a patient incurs an injury due to failure to diagnose cancer to file suit. Although not every failure to diagnose mesotheliona is negligence, consulting with an experienced lawyer is in your best interests. We will take steps to preserve your legal rights and determine your options.
