Mesothelioma is cancer of the lining surrounding the lungs, stomach, or other internal organs. The only known cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure, which most commonly occurs in the workplace. The Michigan companies that used asbestos often knew of its dangers but failed to warn or protect workers.
As a result, Michigan workers inhaled and ingested the deadly fibers, which would become lodged in their bodily tissues, causing damage and inflammation for decades until mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer developed.
Between 2016 and 2020, 526 new mesothelioma cases were reported in Michigan, along with 495 mesothelioma deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Eighty of these new cases and 76 deaths occurred in 2020 alone.
These large companies often refuse to take responsibility. Instead, they leverage their infinite resources to fight claims by workers who contracted mesothelioma while helping them acquire their wealth. This is why you need an experienced Michigan mesothelioma lawyer at the Lanier Law Firm to stand up to asbestos companies on your behalf.
