Mesothelioma is a rare and devastating form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. For the individuals diagnosed with this condition, life often becomes an overwhelming series of medical treatments, surgeries, and emotional challenges. Many victims develop mesothelioma after years of unknowingly working or living in environments contaminated with asbestos. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma in Jacksonville, you deserve justice and compensation for the harm caused by this preventable illness.
At Burnetti, P.A., our Jacksonville mesothelioma attorneys are dedicated to helping victims and their families seek the compensation they need and deserve. With extensive experience and resources, we fight tirelessly to hold negligent parties accountable for their failure to protect individuals from asbestos exposure.
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that develops in the thin layer of tissue called the mesothelium, which surrounds the lungs, heart, and abdominal organs. The primary cause of mesothelioma is the inhalation or ingestion of microscopic asbestos fibers. These fibers become lodged in the mesothelium, leading to cellular damage and the eventual development of cancer.
There are three main types of mesothelioma, categorized based on where the cancer occurs in the body:
These symptoms often do not appear until decades after asbestos exposure, making early detection and treatment extremely challenging. If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is crucial to seek legal advice from an experienced Jacksonville mesothelioma lawyer who can guide you through pursuing a claim.
While asbestos use has been heavily restricted in the U.S., exposure continues to affect individuals who worked in industries that relied on this harmful material. Asbestos was commonly used for decades in construction, shipbuilding, automotive industries, and even household products due to its heat-resistant properties. Common sources of exposure include:
Even brief exposure to asbestos can be enough to cause mesothelioma. Furthermore, individuals may unknowingly carry asbestos fibers home on their clothing, leading to secondary exposure for family members.
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
