Asbestos Cancer Legal Information

The Trial Lawyers of The Ferraro Law Firm

Did you work in an area where asbestos was handled by others?
Did you handle asbestos or come into direct contact with asbestos on your job?
Are you a family member of an asbestos worker?
Did you live within one mile of an asbestos plant, shipyard or other source of asbestos?

If so, you may be at risk for developing mesothelioma or asbestosis, deadly lung cancers caused by inhaling microscopic asbestos fibers. Every year 2,500 men and women are diagnosed with new cases of mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung, stomach or esophageal cancer. The risk of mesothelioma actually increases with age, because the tiny asbestos fibers lie hidden in your lungs for decades before it is diagnosed.

Our asbestos lawyers have helped over 20,000 people recover over $500 million in injury claims

The Ferraro Law Firm is one of the top five asbestos and mesothelioma law firms in the nation in the number of claimants we represent and the total recovery we have obtained for our clients. Our asbestos lawyers have proven that we can take on the largest corporations and insurance companies – and win. Our courtroom successes have also given us the financial resources to handle complex cases that require a significant investment on the part of the law firm handling your case.

Our asbestos lawyers represent injured workers and their families in Boston and throughout the New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Contact the asbestos Lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm for information or a Free Case Evaluation

Case evaluations are always free. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means that your injury lawsuit will cost you nothing unless we make a recovery for you. Then, after deducting the expenses we incurred in handling your case, we will take a percentage of the recovery as our fee. 

What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a deadly form of lung cancer that is very difficult to treat. Thousands of men and women face the heartbreak of developing this devastating disease because they were exposed to airborne asbestos as long ago as the 1940s. Two of the most common types of this cancer are peritoneal mesothelioma and pleural mesothelioma.

The disease starts slowly as inhaled asbestos fibers attack the lungs and chest cavity. The basic act of breathing becomes very difficult over the slow progression of decades as a victim's lungs become scarred and inflexible.

Did Your Job Put You and Your Family At Risk?

You are at risk of developing mesothelioma if you fit into one of the following categories:

  • Workers with direct contact and handling of asbestos and products containing asbestos
  • Employees who worked in areas where asbestos was present
  • Family members of asbestos workers
  • People who lived within one mile of an asbestos plant, shipyard or other source of asbestos

If you fit in any of these risk categories, you should see a doctor about your possible asbestos exposure, especially if you experience shortness of breath or suffer from a persistent cough. These could be symptoms of a hidden lung disease that steals your life one breath at a time. For legal advice about filing a Mesothelioma lawsuit, contact the asbestos lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm.
