What Causes Mesothelioma?

Attorney Michael Shepard

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. So if you or someone you know has mesothelioma, the first question I ask as an attorney is, where did you work around asbestos? And the typical response is I was in the building trades, I worked in the shipyards, I was in the Navy for a period of time. Because those are all places where asbestos was very heavily used up until the 1970s and even beyond.

Other times I’m asked well gee, I don’t remember or I don’t know if I was ever exposed to asbestos, and how is it that I have mesothelioma? And typically what we will do is start looking into your background. What did your father do? Did you have any brothers or uncles who were living at home who were working around asbestos? Because we’re seeing now a rise of mesotheliomas in women, mothers, and daughters who are doing laundry of folks who are exposed to asbestos. And that’s one source for the asbestos fibers to get into the home and get into someone’s lungs.
