What are Mesothelioma Legal Rights?
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that is only caused by asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a hazardous carcinogen that was utilized heavily up until 1970 for its many commercial applications. Product manufacturers were aware of the health hazards associated with mesothelioma long before the mineral was regulated under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (1970). By choosing to place business ahead of general health, product manufacturers became liable for all asbestos-related injuries. Mesothelioma legal rights therefore refer to the right of someone afflicted with mesothelioma to file a claim against a responsible party.
