result, there are now legal avenues available for those who have been
adversely affected by asbestos. By allowing a mesothelioma attorney from

Asbestos Companies' Knowledge of Dangers
Information
concerning the health hazards of asbestos began appearing in medical
and scientific literature in the early 1900s. By the late 1930s,
respected medical journals already contained articles describing how
asbestos could cause asbestosis and cancer, indicating that the disease
took 15 years or more to develop (latency period); that the diseases
were often progressive; and that asbestos disease could be fatal. In
addition to the growing body of medical literature about the dangers of
asbestos published throughout the early to mid-twentieth century, many
asbestos companies had their own corporate memos, notes, letters, and
scientific articles explaining the health dangers of asbestos exposure.
Despite
this large body of knowledge, asbestos companies failed to adequately
warn those who would come into contact with their products about the
health hazards of such exposure. This failure to adequately warn and
protect those who could be exposed or come into contact with asbestos is
the basis for the negligence and / or strict liability lawsuits against
these companies today.
