Most likely, the answer is yes. Mesothelioma is a potentially deadly lung disease that often results from extended exposure to the toxic substance asbestos. Countless older lawsuits have shown that for many decades, the asbestos industry wasn't honest about the health risks associated with asbestos. As such, during that time, workers were unnecessarily exposed to this severe carcinogen. Suppose you were diagnosed with mesothelioma and previously worked with or near asbestos. In that case, you have an extremely high chance of obtaining monetary damages for your diagnosis and injuries. Your compensation can come from the manufacturer or installer of the asbestos or through an insurer or victims' compensation fund that took on liability for the at-fault company. Your Ocala toxic tort attorney will know which source of potential compensation applies to your claim.
