What does the term “occupational exposure” mean in the context of a mesothelioma lawsuit?
“Occupational exposure” means that you were exposed to the agent that caused your mesothelioma – usually the toxic mineral asbestos in its insulation and fireproofing forms – in the usual course of business. If you worked with asbestos and then contracted mesothelioma, even if it was years after the exposure, you experienced occupational exposure.
