The Law Offices of Justinian C. Lane have spent nearly a decade fighting for the rights of Americans injured by asbestos. Since our founding, we have helped our clients across the country recover millions of dollars in compensation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Law Offices of Justinian C. Lane, Esq.-PLLC, Only Practices Asbestos and Mesothelioma Claims Law <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Justinian C. Lane was first working as a law student, he was assigned two naval veterans as clients. Both had veterans<\/a> who developed serious respiratory conditions after having been exposed to asbestos aboard ships while serving in WWII. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like 20th-century industrial workers of all kinds, many soldiers and sailors never realized that even after combat, their body could be harboring a life-threatening disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Justinian studied the law and history of the asbestos industry, he realized its troubled history had impacted him more personally than he had first realized.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Justinian realized that many of his own family members had passed away from asbestos-related illnesses, too. His father, who once worked in a titanium foundry, died from cancer. So did his grandparents, who were both exposed to asbestos dust during the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding how big the asbestos problem is\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Justinian never had the chance to find out if his father and grandparents\u2019 illnesses were caused by exposici\u00f3n al asbesto<\/a>. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

However, asbestos continues to exact a devastating toll on communities across the country. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know today that asbestos is a potent human carcinogen, capable of causing medical conditions up to and including cancer. For decades, though, asbestos was a mainstay of American industry<\/a>. Easy to mine and resilient to fire, electricity, and corrosion<\/a>, asbestos had near-unlimited potential. During the Industrial Revolution, manufacturers identified asbestos as a promising solution to age-old concerns about fire safety and management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time the federal Environmental Protection Agency issued its final asbestos regulations in 1989<\/a>, most towns in the United States had been built using a wide range of materiales que contienen asbesto<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even today, over 30 years since the E.P.A.\u2019s last asbestos ban, scientists believe that most American homes built before the 1980s<\/a> likely harbor hazardous concentrations of asbestos-containing material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asbestos Continues to Claim Lives Across the Country <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asbestos was prized<\/a> both for its strength and durability.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But both qualities make asbestos such a significant risk to human health.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\n \"\"\n <\/td>\n Asbestos cannot be destroyed by fire or rain, but it can lose its structural integrity.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
\n \"\"\n <\/td>\n When asbestos-containing materials begin to degrade, they become friable. Friable asbestos, or asbestos that is easily crumbled, is very dangerous. It can be disturbed during routine home repairs, renovations, or other construction work.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
\n \"\"\n <\/td>\n When friable asbestos is disturbed, it can scatter microscopic asbestos fibers into the surrounding environment<\/a>. These fibers are invisible, odorless, and small enough to be inhaled. <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once asbestos is inside the body, it is all but impossible to fully eradicate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n
The American Lung Association notes the likelihood that once inhaled, some asbestos fibers will never leave the body.1<\/sup><\/td>\n <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Over time, asbestos fibers can become embedded in the lungs, causing scarring, inflammation, and even genetic mutations. Asbestos-related genetic mutations can provoke uncontrolled cellular growth, prompting the formation of malignant tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n
El Instituto Nacional del C\u00e1ncer afirma que \u201cno existe un nivel seguro de exposici\u00f3n al asbesto.\u201d 2<\/sup><\/td>\n <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Assessing Your Risk for Asbestos-Related Mesothelioma <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost anyone could be diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness. Mesothelioma and other cancers do not discriminate on the basis of age, location, or education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some people face an elevated risk of asbestos-related mesothelioma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, men over the age of 65 who served in the military or worked in a blue-collar occupation are the most likely to be diagnosed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occupations at high risk of asbestos exposure include, but are not limited to: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
