cancer causing products

Exposure to cancer causing products has devastating effects.

Every year, thousands of individuals are exposed to cancer causing products. In fact, 3,000 out of the 1.3 million U.S. workers exposed to asbestos develop an Asbestos related Cancer. As a result, many large manufacturers are setting aside billions of dollars to settle cases related to cancer causing products, including talc, asbestos, and weed killers containing glyphosate. If you are diagnosed with mesothelioma or any other cancer caused by product exposure, our compassionate, experienced legal team will fight for your rights.

Diseases Linked to Cancer Causing Products

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and leukemia

Exposure to the weed killer Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides can result in non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia.

Ovarian Cancer

Long-term use of talcum powder has been linked to an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Mesothelioma

Exposure to small particles of asbestos from commercial, industrial, and residential manufacturing products can lead to mesothelioma—a cancer in the lining of the lungs or abdomen.

Lung Cancer

Four percent of lung cancer cases are related to asbestos exposure. Signs of disease from asbestos-related products include difficulty breathing, chest pain, and other cancer symptoms.

Laryngeal Cancer

Cancers related to asbestos exposure, such as laryngeal cancer, can take 20 – 50 years to develop after initial exposure.

Noncancerous Conditions

In addition to cancer, asbestos exposure can lead to other serious conditions, such as asbestosis (inflammation and scarring of lung tissue), pleural plaques, pleural effusion, and more.

Common Recoverable Damages

Medical Expenses

Current and future medical expenses can add up quickly in cancer-causing product cases. You should not have to pay those bills if another party is responsible.

Loss of Income

Many serious diseases from cancer-causing products prevent people from returning to work. Those responsible for your condition should have to pay back those lost wages.

Pain & Suffering

Cancer-causing products can cause lifelong side effects and death. We can’t undo any suffering you’ve gone through, but our legal team will work to make sure you’re properly compensated for it.

Diminished Quality of Life

A chronic or permanent condition resulting from cancer-causing products can greatly reduce your quality of life. If this happens to you, our attorneys will fight to earn the compensation you deserve.
