Lawsuits have been filed nationwide against asbestos manufacturers.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONMesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos and breathing asbestos fibers. It is a lethal disease that is often at a very advanced stage when a diagnosis is made, resulting in a very short life-expectancy.Litigation against manufacturers and suppliers of asbestos products has been one of the largest mass-torts in U.S. history, with hundreds of thousands of Mesotheslioma cases brought nationwide against more than 6,000 defendants, due to injuries caused by inhaling the toxic fibers.Prior projections by the CDC suggested that the number of asbestos deaths from malignant mesothelioma would peak years ago. However, that does not appear to be the case. Instead, from 1999 to 2015, the annual mesothelioma death rate increased by 4.8%, from 2,479 deaths in 1999 to 2,579 deaths in 2015.
