Mesothelioma Law Firm | Asbestos Exposure Attorneys

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.
