Are You Eligible to File a Mesothelioma Case in Illinois?

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. While this form of cancer is considered to be rare, there are about 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma diagnosed within the country each year. In Illinois, citizens who have been diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma may have a right to file a mesothelioma claim and pursue justice for the residual losses they may have suffered. 

Some determining factors of a person’s eligibility to file a mesothelioma claim include their employment history and the liable asbestos company’s location. If you have loved ones who have developed mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure and have since passed away while undergoing treatment, you may also be eligible to file a claim and pursue justice. Some of the industries in Illinois that have been known to expose their workers to mesothelioma include the following:

• Manufacturing
• Oil refining
• Construction
• Zinc smelting 

Residents of Illinois may also be eligible to sue asbestos manufacturers and distributors if they have developed mesothelioma due to exposure outside of the workplace. Contact our leading mesothelioma attorney in Illinois, Joe Williams, today for more information on how he can help.
