Asbestos Attorneys in Washington

Washington Asbestos AttorneysWashington has experienced several deaths that can be attributed to asbestos exposure. From 1980 to 2000, for example, more than 1,700 deaths were directly linked to mesothelioma, asbestosis or another asbestos cancer disease.

This number is said to be low, too, as many people who died of asbestos diseases died before they were properly diagnosed. Although strict regulations now surround the use of asbestos, Washington residents continue to die from asbestos exposure.

Washington Industry and Asbestos Exposure

Washington has lost many individuals to asbestos exposure as a result of its dependency on the following asbestos industries:

  • Shipbuilding industry
  • Timber industry
  • Paper production
  • Oil refineries
  • Power industry (plants)
  • Aluminum processing industry

Asbestos was once widely used in Washington industry because of its durable, heat resistant fibers. Because of this, however, many Washington industry professionals and their families have suffered from asbestos cancers including mesothelioma cancer.

The durable fibers can separate, forming a microscopic dust that can be easily ingested. Once ingested, the tiny fibers lodge themselves into the lining of the lungs, stomach or heart and cause fatal conditions.
