The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging former construction workers who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma to call them at 866-714-6466, not only for on-the-spot information about the nation's top mesothelioma lawyers that consistently get the best compensation results for their clients, but also for on-the-spot information about the nation's leading mesothelioma treatment centers. This new focus is specifically designed to help electricians, plumbers, carpenters, or insulators who have recently been diagnosed with this rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.
The Center says, "Our focus on construction workers with mesothelioma stems from a fear that many of these victims slip through the cracks; they either end up with an incompetent local personal injury attorney, or the compensation process seems too daunting so these types of mesothelioma victims never get compensated at all. We also fight the battle to make victims aware of the best possible treatment options in their specific area or region.
"If you look at the types of asbestos products involved in construction during the 1970s, you'll find an alarming variety that is widespread. What we fear is having a former construction worker manifest mesothelioma symptoms three, four, or five decades after the asbestos exposure and not know what to do about it. We commonly hear about families who had no idea what was going on with their loved one, as mesothelioma presents itself as pneumonia.
"If family of a diagnosed victim of malignant mesothelioma calls us at 866-714-6466, we will make suggestions about the who's who of mesothelioma compensation lawyers nationwide. In addition to this, we will almost immediately create a customized treatment option's report detailing the best treatment option possibilities in their local area, region, and nationwide."
