Malignant Mesothelioma in South Carolina

Malignant mesothelioma in South Carolina

The result can be damage to the mesothelium, which is the protective lining over most body organs. When a person inhales asbestos particles, it can cause malignant or cancerous cells to develop in the mesothelium. The long, hard journey of fighting a deadly illness then begins.

In South Carolina, malignant mesothelioma generally comes in three types: pericardial, peritoneal, and pleural. Pericardial mesothelioma is found in the heart lining, peritoneal mesothelioma in the lining of the abdominal cavity, and pleural mesothelioma in the lining of the lung and chest.

Richardson, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman,LLC knows that when laws are followed in South Carolina, malignant mesothelioma is a preventable tragedy. That is why, for over 30 years, our firm has been a dedicated legal resource for those seeking justice for their injuries.

People can come into contact with asbestos particles without being aware they are doing so. Homes, facilities, and construction sites may all be a source of asbestos exposure. Due to the various industries (such as shipping, mining, and manufacturing) in the state, as well as its natural asbestos deposits and mines, malignant mesothelioma in South Carolina can lie dormant for years before a victim develops symptoms.

And those victims not only include individuals exposed to asbestos, but their families and other loved ones as well. Particles brought home on the clothing, hair, or work supplies can affect anyone with whom they come into contact. South Carolina malignant mesothelioma law allows for a statute of limitations of three years that starts when a diagnosis was made, or should have been made, of this deadly condition.
