WASHINGTON, March 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Mesothelioma Victims Center is calling attention to a recent news article about the incidence of mesothelioma among carpenters in the UK and comments, "Tragically mesothelioma is alive and well here in the United States as well, especially among former construction workers. Our role is to help educate victims and families on how to ensure that they get the best possible compensation, but we can only help those who reach out to us at 866-714-6466 or http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com."

The Mesothelioma Victims Center is now making a more concentrated effort in helping educate diagnosed victims of mesothelioma, who were exposed to asbestos on various construction job sites, on how to go about selecting an attorney to begin the mesothelioma compensation process. Workers that the group is targeting include: carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, or insulation workers.
The center says, "There was a recent study in the UK that indicates that carpenters born after 1940 have a 1 in 17 chance of developing mesothelioma. Because there are millions of US citizens that worked as carpenters full-time and/or part-time, we want to emphasize that the compensation for these types of individuals can easily reach one million dollars in the United States. Our goal here at the center is to provide all the help we can for families going through the difficult time of mesothelioma diagnosis. If it means providing them with information about compensation, or if the family also needs information on treatment options, we do it all.
"We want to pose a question to victims. If you want to build the best possible house, do you hire unskilled day laborers at a Home Depot parking lot? The answer is 'no.' If you want to get the best possible compensation for mesothelioma, do you hire a local personal injury attorney that specializes in car accidents? The answer is 'no.' If you want the job done right, you want a person with the most skill and experience. The same is absolutely true when we talk about how incredibly vital it is to have the best possible mesothelioma lawyer advancing a mesothelioma claim for the victim and/or their family.
"The reason construction and carpenter mesothelioma compensation claims can be so significant for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and insulators relates to the amount of exposure to asbestos from so many different products on the job site.
"Before you hire a lawyer or law firm to advance a mesothelioma compensation claim, please call us at 866-714-6466 to ensure that you really are dealing with the nation's best compensation experts. Skill matters." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
