Asbestos claims serve individuals injured as a result of asbestos exposure. Asbestos claims involve diseases such as asbestosis, pleural plaques, asbestos lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. Mesothelioma claims are a type of asbestos claim. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, mesothelioma claims apply only to individuals suffering from malignant mesothelioma. For example, people suffering from pleural mesothelioma can file asbestos claims; however, people suffering from asbestosis cannot file mesothelioma claims.
