New York Mesothelioma Victims Center Comments on Recent Clean Air Act Violation and Changing Legal Response to Asbestos Exposure
(PRWEB) November 06, 2014 -- The New York Mesothelioma Victims Center is a passionate advocate making certain all diagnosed victims of malignant mesothelioma in New York state, or their family have the best possible mesothelioma compensation lawyers advancing their compensation claim. As the Center would like to explain, choosing poorly when it comes to hiring an attorney, or law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim could cost the victim, or the family hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in lost compensation.
The New York Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "It is hard to imagine, but if you intentionally remove asbestos or transport it in New York state without the proper permits, you could end up in a federal prison in this day and age. Back in the 1960s or 1970s, workplace exposure to asbestos was so commonplace that no one said anything. Workers went to work, they did their job, and tragically some will end up being diagnosed with mesothelioma decades after their exposure. Exposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma.
"While we cannot reverse a diagnosis for mesothelioma as much as we would like to in every single case, we can and will make certain every diagnosed victim of mesothelioma in New York state actually is dealing with the nation's most skilled mesothelioma attorneys who consistently get the best compensation results for their clients.
"Before you hire an attorney to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim, please call us at the Center to ensure you actually are talking to the best mesothelioma compensation lawyers or law firms because, as we would like to explain, skill and experience matter when it comes to compensation for this rare form of cancer."

The New York Mesothelioma Victims Center was not joking about criminal penalties for individuals who fail to follow very strict guidelines when removing asbestos or disturbing it. According the Justice Department on September 8th, 2014, "the owner of more than a dozen properties in Malone, New York, and the maintenance manager of the properties, were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy to serve 21 months each in prison for conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act standards for the safe removal of asbestos during renovations of three properties, for releasing asbestos into the environment and failing to notify the authorities, all in violation of the Clean Air Act’s asbestos work practice standards, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)."
