Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Mesothelioma Definition

Mesothelioma is a disease that affects the lungs caused by asbestos exposure. There are several means of seeking compensation for a mesothelioma claim:

  • Mesothelioma lawsuits

  • Asbestos trust fund claims, and

  • Veterans Affairs (VA) claims

​

Mesothelioma Symptoms

According to the American Cancer Society, many of the early symptoms of mesothelioma are the same as those likely to be caused by other problems, so at first, people may ignore them or mistake them for common, minor ailments.

​

  • Pain in the side of the chest or lower back

  • Cough

  • Trouble swallowing (feeling like food gets stuck)

  • Hoarseness

  • Swelling of the face and arms

 

Peritoneal mesothelioma symptoms:

  • Abdominal (belly) pain

  • Swelling or fluid in the abdomen

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Constipation

​

Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms:

  • Chest pain

  • Irregular heart rhythm

  • Heart murmur

  • Shortness of breath

​

General mesothelioma symptoms:
