Information on Asbestos and Asbestos Products
The term "asbestos" describes six
naturally occurring fibrous minerals, namely chrysotile,
amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylitte and
actinolite. When mined and processed, asbestos is typically
separated into very thin bundles of fibers and then commonly
mixed with a binder during processing.
Asbestos has been known to man for
centuries and has been used in literally hundreds of
products. Asbestos was used because it is strong, insulates
well, and resists fire and corrosion. Common modern uses are
as thermal pipe and boiler insulation, spray-applied fire
proofing and sound proofing, floor coverings, ceiling tiles,
roofing materials and "transite" pipe and sheeting.
In the United States, asbestos became widely used in the
early 1900s and its use peaked during the 1950s, 1960s, and
1970s. Despite wide spread use of asbestos many asbestos
manufacturers and industry insiders became aware of the
serious health issues surrounding asbestos in the 1930s and
1940s, but kept the information secret from workers and from
the public. In the 1970s the Federal government stepped in
and regulated the use of asbestos products. It is also now
commonly agreed that exposure to asbestos can cause
mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other health problems.
Today despite being better regulated an estimated 1.3
million employees in construction and general industry face
significant asbestos exposure on the job. Heaviest exposures
occur in the construction industry, particularly during the
removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition.
Employees are also likely to be exposed during the
manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction
products, insulation, and other building materials) and
during automotive brake and clutch repair work.
Unfortunately, in asbestos exposure cases
it is not always just the primary exposed person that
suffers exposure, but many times the exposed worker can
unknowingly bring home asbestos dust and fibers that are
kicked up in the air and breathed in by the worker's wife
and family. Over time these
secondary
exposure claims can also cause serious asbestos diseases
including mesothelioma for the families of asbestos workers.
Asbestos Product Dumping
In addition to domestic exposure, some
companies have taken asbestos products that cannot be sold
in the United States and have sold the product in other
countries. This product dumping of dangerous asbestos
insulation, asbestos block, and other
asbestos products can
cause serious problems including mesothelioma, lung cancer,
and other health problems. Texas companies that dump
dangerous products in other countries and cause significant
harm can sometimes be brought into the Texas courts to
answer for their wrongful dumping and be made to pay money
compensation for their wrongful acts.
If someone you know has mesothelioma or other form of cancer
related to Asbestos exposure it is important that they get
the best medical care that they can find and that the source
of their exposure is stopped. If you have any questions feel
free to send an
e-mail to Texas Asbestos Lawyer, Jason Coomer.

Wrongful Death
Claims - As a Texas Asbestos Death Lawyer
handling asbestos death claims, Mesothelioma Claim Lawyer, Jason
Coomer assists the families of the
deceased and assert their rights after a death caused by
asbestos exposure. He helps the family pursue asbestos
death claims including people injured in Texas or killed by
corporations in Texas that sell dangerous asbestos products.
Premises Liability &
Dangerous Condition Claims - Numerous
people are injured and killed each year by dangerous
asbestos
conditions and hazardous hidden traps. Asbestos hidden
in old refineries, chemical plants, schools, commercial
buildings, homes, and other buildings can cause severe
disease and even death. Many times property owners or premises
maintainers know or through a reasonable inspection
should have known about hidden asbestos products, but don't
want to spend the money for proper asbestos abatement. When attempting to seek
compensation from the premises owner/maintainer for
negligently exposing workers to asbestos or fraudulently
concealing asbestos, an injured person or the family of an
injured person
often needs assistance proving liability and damages as well
as avoiding traps that many insurance adjusters set to avoid
paying just claims.

Microbiological
contamination (sick building syndrome/mold infestation),
Chemical Pollutants, electromagnetic fields,
lead paint,
