Asbestos Attorneys in New Mexico

New Mexico Asbestos AttorneysThe state of New Mexico has both natural asbestos deposits and many worksites that have provided asbestos exposure to their employees. The natural asbestos sites include:
  • Chrysotile deposits near Lordsburg and Deming
  • Chrysotile deposit near Las Cruces
  • Amphibole site near Ruidoso
  • Chrysotile deposit about 30 miles northwest of Ruidoso

Long Latency of Asbestos Diseases

People who work or live near these deposits should be aware of the risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. Asbestos diseases have a long latency; that is, the symptoms of the diseases may not show up until years or even decades after the asbestos exposure.

Symptoms of asbestos cancer diseases — including mesothelioma cancer, lung cancer and asbestosis — include difficulty breathing, coughing and wheezing, chest and/or abdominal pain, and ascites (internal fluid build-up).

It is also in their best interest to consult an asbestos plaintiffs' attorney in New Mexico to discuss their legal options.
