Shrader and Associates, L.L.P. Release Asbestos Victims' Guide
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 15, 2015 -- Shrader and Associates, L.L.P., a law firm that specializes in asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cases, has released an asbestos victims' guide on their website's blog. The goal of the guide is to better inform visitors of the dangers of asbestos exposure, which is the leading cause of malignant mesothelioma in the world.
The guide is comprised into four parts, with each part designed to answer a common yet important question about mesothelioma. So far, the guide has discussed what mesothelioma is and the basics of mesothelioma law. The guide will also discuss the connection between asbestos and mesothelioma, specifically why asbestos exposure can lead to malignant mesothelioma. Shrader and Associates are not medical professionals and offer no medical services or advice. The guide has been released as an informational and educational guide on mesothelioma and should not be considered professional medical advice.
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the mesothelium, or the lining around the body's internal organs. The most common form of mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma, which affects the lungs. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include chest pains, a persistent cough, shortness of breath and lumps of tissue under the skin on the chest. These symptoms often don't show up until the disease's later stages, making treatment very difficult. There is no cure for mesothelioma, and the prognosis is often grim.
At least 90 percent of mesothelioma cases worldwide have been attributed to exposure to asbestos, a naturally-occurring fibrous mineral that was once used in a number of industries. Prolonged exposure to this material can lead to people inhaling or ingesting microscopic asbestos fibers which create scar tissue in the mesothelium. After several decades of asbestos exposure, this scar tissue can develop into cancer and cause other problems.
Asbestos has been effectively banned in the United States, but it was common enough that health problems caused by asbestos exposure are still being diagnosed today. Workers who have been exposed to asbestos decades ago are now developing health problems, and some people have encountered asbestos in building material and elsewhere even today. Shrader and Associates believe that the public needs to be informed about asbestos and why it is so dangerous, which is why they have created this guide to educate mesothelioma victims and anybody else who feels that they should be informed of this disease.
