Wisconsin Mesothelioma Lawyer

Wisconsin is known for its hardworking citizens. Whether it is beer, cheese, or other dairy products, food and beverage production employs many Wisconsinites and drives both the state and the country’s economy.

However, Wisconsin’s industrial workers are also responsible for maintaining infrastructure and providing resources that help to grow the economy. Currently, some of the industries that employ the highest amount of workers in Wisconsin are construction, manufacturing, and mining. It is unfortunate that those types of jobs are often associated with a number of high health risks. Among these risks is exposure to asbestos.

 Asbestos is a fire-resistant mineral that is commonly found in a lot of building construction materials. When these materials are disturbed or handled, the fibers are released into the air. These fibers can be breathed in and trapped in your respiratory system.   

If you developed mesothelioma due to work-related asbestos exposure, consider calling a skilled Wisconsin mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible. The Ferraro Law Firm might be able to offer you the legal assistance you need to seek compensation for your losses. For more information, do not hesitate to set up a free consultation.

Developing Mesothelioma in Wisconsin

Mesothelioma (also known as malignant mesothelioma) is a cancer of the thin tissue that lines your lungs, chest wall, and abdomen. This disease is most frequently caused by exposure to asbestos.

Surprisingly, mesothelioma can take anywhere from 20-50 years to develop. Because of this, many victims have been retired for years before they ever become aware that they were exposed. Some of the common careers that can lead to the development of mesothelioma include:

• Shipyard workers
• Mechanics
• Insulators
• Roofers
• Plumbers
• Carpenters
• Bricklayers
• Electricians
• Engineers
• Welders
• Pipe Fitters
• Machinists

Mesothelioma Treatment Options in Wisconsin

The method of treatment for mesothelioma depends on several factors. Doctors will consider a patient’s health, preferences, and the extent of the cancer before proceeding with treatment. In many cases, stage I, II, and possibly III pleural mesothelioma can be removed with surgery.

Even if the doctors are able to catch this cancer at a point where it is still removable, they must still make sure that their patient is healthy enough to have surgery.

Sadly, some surgical procedures are intended only to prolong one’s health. In stage IV, mesothelioma can be treated with surgery. However, it may be far too late to save a patient’s life.

When surgery is not an option, mesotheliomas are often treated with chemotherapy (sometimes in conjunction with radiation therapy). Chemotherapy, although it likely will not cure the cancer, helps to ease painful symptoms and may slow the growth. Radiation is also used as a form of pain management.
