How Can I Have Mesothelioma If I Never Worked In A Job Involving Asbestos In New Orleans?

Using A Mesothelioma Attorney To Fight Occupational Exposure To Asbestos In Louisiana

While most mesothelioma cases can be linked to occupational exposure to asbestos, for some people, the source of asbestos may be less clear.

When you work with an experienced New Orleans mesothelioma lawyer, we can help you find out where and when you were likely to have encountered airborne asbestos during the course of your life.

For many, the exposure occurred when a loved one, a spouse or a parent, worked in an environment where asbestos fibers were present.

The loved one would come home with their hair, skin, and clothing coated in a fine dust of carcinogenic asbestos fibers, and the home environment would be contaminated.

For others, living in proximity to a site where asbestos was heavily used may have resulted in environmental exposure to asbestos.

In neighborhoods proximate to manufacturing facilities, oil refineries, and other industrial centers, wind patterns may have shifted airborne contaminants and entire communities may have suffered exposure.

How A New Orleans Mesothelioma Attorney Can Help You Find Where You Were Exposed To Asbestos

In very rare cases, the precise source of asbestos contamination can’t be identified, but your best chance of connecting the dots comes from working with a lawyer who has worked on these cases before and knows details like where the companies and sites in the New Orleans area were that tended to produce environmental contamination and worker injury from asbestos fibers.
