Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP,
New York and New Jersey mesothelioma lawyers specializing in mesothelioma and Asbestos claims, have filed a lawsuit on behalf of a New Jersey mesothelioma victim who was exposed to Asbestos contained in industrial products through his work in oxygen generation for the U.S. Air Force, in the U.S. and the U.K. He was also exposed through work with gaskets in oxygen and nitrogen generators for a U.S. manufacturer; and while working as a residential fuel oil serviceman, among other exposures. Unknowingly, people can be exposed to
industrial products that contain Asbestos while in the workplace or even at home. This fact has caused people to step forward with claims of unknowingly acquiring mesothelioma from Asbestos exposure both in the home and workplace. This mesothelioma lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey in Middlesex County.
Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a fatal cancer that occurs primarily in the lining of the lungs and the abdomen. Symptoms of mesothelioma may include: loss of appetite, loss of weight, cough or chest or pleural pain (such as experienced with pleuritis-fluid in the lungs). Mesothelioma typically occurs at least fifteen years after the first exposure to Asbestos. Asbestos can cause mesothelioma even when the exposure occurs over a small period of time. Industrial products that contain Asbestos fibers can be damaging as the fibers are microscopic and exposure can occur without a worker even knowing it, causing mesothelioma. Asbestos claims are not only filed by people working directly with Asbestos products but also in bystanders and family members exposed to Asbestos dust.
