Copeland & Associates, we are experienced attorneys with the expertise and determination to go up against the large corporations whose working conditions have been responsible for numerous mesothelioma cases in Florida and throughout the country.

What Is Asbestos And How Is It Harmful?

A mineral fiber occuring in rocks and soil, asbestos has been used in construction materials and for insulation in recent decades.  It has a high fiber strength and is heat resistant and is often found in paper products, cement products, ceiling and floor tiles, roofing shingles, brake pads, transmission parts, packaging, gaskets and more.  While asbestos is rarely if ever used in modern construction, exposure is still a danger during demolition and remodeling of older buildings.  When aesbestos fibers are released into the air they can become trapped in the lungs and lead to lung disease and cancer.  

How Is Asbestos Related To Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a condition that often does not manifest itself for several years or even decades later. It is commonly caused by faulty work conditions where employees were exposed to asbestos day in and day out. This repeated exposure might have resulted in some short-term discomfort, but most people had no idea of the long-term effects of working around this deadly poison.

Some typical work sites where high concentrations of asbestos were common include:

In Central Florida, we have a high number of retired workers. Many of them worked in these kinds of jobs, and are now experiencing the symptoms of mesothelioma. These symptoms are quite aggressive, and can include attacks on the internal lining of both the lungs and the abdomen. Costs to treat this condition can run into the hundreds of thousands, and it can completely destroy a person’s quality of life.
