Levy, Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP, a New York and New Jersey trial lawyers specializing in
mesothelioma Asbestos-related claims, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a New Jersey mesothelioma victim born in Lima, Peru. The plaintiff, who emigrated from Peru in 1980, was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the age of 41. The mesothelioma Asbestos claim resulted from when he was exposed to Asbestos from various work activities including his janitorial work buffing tile, painting, plastering, and completing other janitorial duties around Asbestos-containing broilers, pumps, and pipe coverings. The victim also worked aboard Navy ships, working with and around Asbestos-containing insulation. The
mesothelioma Asbestos 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. Mesothelioma typically occurs at least fifteen years after the first exposure to Asbestos. Asbestos can cause mesothelioma even when the exposure occurs for a short duration. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and exposure can occur without a worker even knowing it. Mesothelioma occurs not only in people working directly with Asbestos products but also in bystanders and family members exposed to Asbestos dust.
