Harmful Diseases

 

Harmful Diseases Linked To Drugs And Hazardous Chemicals. Many people with a particular disease or disorder may not realize it through the haze of symptoms from which they are suffering, but their illness could possibly be connected to a defective drug they have been taking, or are still taking. Also, exposure to hazardous chemicals could be the cause of their plight.

Because these cases are often quite complex, anyone who suspects that they may be suffering from the negative health consequences of a drug they have been prescribed or a toxin to which they have been exposed could benefit from the help of a law firm qualified in this area.

Defective Drugs, Toxins Can Cause Diseases

Defective drugs, as well as mercury exposure, lead poisoning and other toxic substances can cause serious or life-threatening illnesses.

One of the most common environmentally related diseases is mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer directly caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. The most common anatomical site for mesothelioma is the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall, but it can also arise in the lining of the abdominal cavity or the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart. Most who develop mesothelioma have worked in jobs where they inhaled or ingested the asbestos fibers.

Despite treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or sometimes surgery, mesothelioma carries a poor prognosis.

What to do if You’ve Been Exposed

If you or someone you love has been impacted by this disease, it’s important to remember that you may be entitled to compensation from companies that manufactured asbestos and related products.
