The center says, "Over the years we have been extremely honored that so many diagnosed victims of mesothelioma came to us for advice on what to do for a loved one exposed to asbestos while working in conditions that subjected them to daily exposure to the toxic fibers. Coal-fired power plants have recently come to our attention, so this week we have decided to begin a new initiative based entirely around helping individuals who may have questions about the compensation claim process.
"The common theme we see among power plant workers is exposure. What changes from person to person is the level of exposure and the amount of time spent in work environments where asbestos was used. Unfortunately for us, the battle to educate potential victims is forever uphill, as the signs of mesothelioma look similar to pneumonia. This often leads individuals to ignore their work history and settle with treating what they think is pneumonia. What we want to do is to spend the time with these individuals who suspect mesothelioma but are unsure of where to begin and go over how incredibly important it is that they have the nation's top mesothelioma compensation lawyers working on their side. This is a service we offer on the spot with one call to 866-714-6466.
"These types of claims can produce some of the most significant compensation settlements we have seen. What we really want to stress to these individuals is simple—if you don't seek help, compensation will not happen."
