Asbestos Lawyers in Wisconsin
Wisconsin asbestos lawyers know that the inhalation of asbestos fibers can be deadly and that often the manufacturer, distributor, supplier or installer of asbestos is legally responsible for asbestos-related deaths. Workers, who exposed asbestos, and their families, are at risk of developing cancer or asbestosis from inhalation of asbestos fibers. Asbestos was commonly used in Wisconsin industries including construction, automotive, paper, electrical and plumbing.
The experienced Wisconsin asbestos attorneys of Pasternak & Zirgibel have successfully represented clients who have suffered from asbestos related conditions in the past and we welcome your inquiries if your family is also suffering from the effects of asbestos. In fact, we have handled multiple asbestos mesothelioma wrongful death cases resulting in awards exceeding $29,000,000.00.
Asbestos Related Conditions
As experienced asbestos attorneys, we represent clients who suffer from:
- Mesothelioma: mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the mesothelium, or thin membrane, that lines internal organs. It is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure and fatal. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing and fatigue. Since mesothelioma typically develops 15–50 years after asbestos exposure, it is often not diagnosed until an advanced stage.
- Asbestosis: asbestosis occurs when asbestos fibers damage and scar an asbestos victim’s lungs. Symptoms are similar to mesothelioma and include shortness of breath, chest pain and coughing. Asbestosis may worsen over time and can lead to respiratory failure and death.
- Lung Cancer: asbestos can cause lung cancer. Lung cancer caused by asbestos is often asymptomatic in early stages which leads to high mortality rates. Patients who exhibit symptoms may experience shortness of breath, chest pain and coughing as with other asbestos conditions.
Wisconsin ranks 16th in the nation in asbestos related deaths and anyone repeatedly exposed to asbestos is at risk.
