Mesothelioma is a serious lung disease in which the cells of the mesothelium (membrane of the lung) become abnormal, divide and multiple without control, resulting in cancerous tumors.
Many workers at Utah's shipyards, powerhouses, plants and construction sites were exposed to asbestos. We represent workers in Utah (UT) that have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and lung cancer. We are familiar with the most common New York work sites, and the products used at these sites. Even if you were not exposed at work, our mesothelioma attorneys will fully investigate your case to determine the likely sources of your exposure to asbestos.
The Utah companies that manufactured, sold and installed asbestos products had extensive knowledge of the deadly hazards of asbestos as early as 1920. These companies did not warn of the risks or protect workers. The result is that many have unnecessarily and tragically contracted mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma can be a difficult disease to understand, and if you or a loved one have been diagnosed, you are certain to have numerous questions. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please contact our lawyers - we can help you find answers.


Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and chest cavity), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) or the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart).
Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways, such as by washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos, or by home renovation using asbestos cement products. Unlike lung cancer, there is no association between mesothelioma and smoking. If you, or a family member, have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, one of the most important steps you can make is to contact medical professionals who are trained in and experienced with the latest mesothelioma treatments. While there is currently no known cure for mesothelioma, medical researchers and scientists around the country are working with patients through clinical trials to develop innovative and improved treatments.

Most mesothelioma victims were exposed to asbestos in the workplace and were never told of its dangers or given proper protective gear. The great tragedy of mesothelioma is that it was preventable. Many of the corporations that manufactured and profited from the sale of asbestos-containing products were aware of the hazards of asbestos. These companies did not warn of the risks or protect workers. It is their legal duty to know about about their products, to test them for any potential hazards. If a potential hazard does exist, the company has a responsibility to warn workers of the hazards. In many cases, they hid the knowledge they had in order to protect themselves from liability or having to find a new business model. The result is that many workers have unnecessarily developed mesothelioma.
