Waterbury Mesothelioma Lawyer
Asbestos has been used to produce a variety of materials since the days of ancient Greece. During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, it became a widely used component of cement, pipe insulation, and many different consumer goods. It was not long before scientific evidence of asbestos’s dangers began to emerge, but many businesses felt that its low cost and durability was worth the threat to their workers’ and customers’ health.
The use of asbestos in the US finally began to decline in the late 1970′s, when information about its link to lung disease became public knowledge. Unfortunately, the tragic effects of this hazardous substance continue to be felt today. If you or a loved one has developed a medical problem due to asbestos exposure, such as mesothelioma, call the Waterbury mesothelioma lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-781-3955.
