How I can sue, if i am Asbesto affected?

Although the EPA has issued regulations to promote protection from asbestos, and organizations such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has manufactured respirators for industrial use of asbestos exposure, workers are still suffering from asbestos-related diseases: so, in May 2005, a miner of 32 years old who thought he was the youngest person hired, died of cancer asbestos-related mesothelioma.

If you feel you have been exposed to high levels of asbestos, notify your employer and seek medical proof. Lung X-rays can help identify changes resulting from exposure to asbestos and asbestos fibers can be measured in blood tests and urine. If it is determined that you have an asbestos-related disease, contact an attorney to know your rights, and file a lawsuit for injuries. Deadlines The Statute states that anyone can start an asbestos-related lawsuit within two years of having discovered an asbestos-related disease, regardless of the last time of exposure. Individuals with asbestos-related diseases also may qualify for financial aid in accordance with state law for workers' compensation, including medical payments and damages awarded during a wrongful death lawsuit.
