Fighting For Your Rights

What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a unique kind of cancer that is primarily caused by exposure to asbestos. It is an intrusive and life-threatening kind of cancer that affects the lungs, chest, and abdomen. If you have worked in an industry or in a position where you have been exposed to asbestos, it is best to consult with a doctor and explain your symptoms as well as your work history.

The attorneys at GPW Law can help you file a claim for you or a loved one’s asbestos exposure that lead to your mesothelioma diagnosis.

The Deadly Carcinogen

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral, widely used in home and commercial situations. Asbestos was widely used in the past as an effective insulator, and it can be added to cloth, paper, cement, plastic, and other materials to make them stronger. If asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, they become ingested in the lungs and surrounding tissues which lead to complications over time—including deadly cancers and sickness.

Today, it is known that asbestos can cause serious conditions including:

Mesothelioma
Lung cancer
Asbestosis
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Pleural mesothelioma
Peritoneal mesothelioma
Pericardial mesothelioma
Colon Cancer
Esophogeal / Laryngeal Cancer

At Risk Occupations

What Occupations Are Likely Exposed?

The majority of trades that work directly with raw asbestos have been well documented and made aware of their asbestos exposure. However, there are many building trades and plant workers (specifically interior) which have not received adequate information as to their exposure.

Words From Clients

It has been a pleasure working with you. You handled my father’s case very professionally and, considering the emotional aspects, very personally. Over a year ago, prior to the diagnosis, my father handed me a page torn from the Yellow Pages showing the ad for Goldberg, Persky & White. He told me that Goldberg, Persky was the company that I should contact if he gets sick. As usual, he gave me good advice.

Goldberg, Persky & White P.C. Client

When my husband and I had our first meeting with an Attorney from your office I had no idea of the excellent service that I was about to receive. It has been 12 years since my Husband died and thanks to your firm I have been able to live a comfortable life. Six years ago I found that I no longer could continue to take care of my home, that is when I moved to Calif to be near my youngest son. I moved into a 55+ Village, a very unusual one with over 18000 residents, 210 clubs and organizations, so I am able to keep quite active.
