What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive cancer caused almost exclusively by asbestos exposure. It develops in the lining of the lungs (pleural), abdomen (peritoneal), heart (pericardial), or testes (tunica vaginalis). Because symptoms often appear decades after exposure, many victims are diagnosed at advanced stages.
​
Despite its rarity, mesothelioma is devastating. Treatment is costly and survival rates remain low. At Schilling Law, we believe families deserve justice and financial security when asbestos exposure leads to this disease.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Mesothelioma often mimics other illnesses, delaying diagnosis. Common signs include:
​
-
Shortness of breath
-
Persistent chest or abdominal pain
-
Fluid buildup around the lungs or abdomen
-
Fatigue and unexplained weight loss
-
Chronic cough or hoarseness
​​
A proper diagnosis typically involves imaging scans, biopsies, and pathology testing. If you have a history of asbestos exposure, informing your doctor is crucial.
Who Is at Risk?
Mesothelioma primarily affects workers who handled or were exposed to asbestos decades ago. High-risk groups include:
​
-
Pipefitters, Welders, Millwrights
-
Construction and demolition workers
-
Steel plant and refinery employees
-
Factory and manufacturing workers
​​
Secondary exposure also put family members at risk — asbestos fibers carried home on clothing often sickened spouses and children.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Many asbestos companies declared bankruptcy but were required to set up trust funds for victims. Billions of dollars remain available today.
