Texas Automobile Mechanic Mesothelioma Lawsuits Are On The Rise As Many Retired And Former Automobile Mechanics Were Exposed to Asbestos Brake and Clutch Components Causing Mesothelioma Twenty to Fifty Years After Exposure by Texas Automobile Mechanic Mesothelioma Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Automobile mechanics should be aware of the potential danger of asbestos exposure from asbestos brake components and asbestos clutch components which can cause Mesothelioma and other types of cancer.  Retired automobile mechanics should be aware that the danger of Mesothelioma can extend for 20 to 50 years after exposure.  Further, many of the worst asbestos brake and clutch components required repairs in the late 1980s and 1990s making the potential danger of Mesothelioma extend from 2010 to 2040.  For more regarding Mesothelioma including symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment information, please read below or go to the follow web page: Mechanic Mesothelioma Lawyer, Asbestos Brake Repair Cancer Lawyer, and Mechanic Asbestos Exposure Lawyer Information.

Retired and Former Automobile Mechanics Should Be Aware of Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Former mechanics who have worked with asbestos brake and clutch components should be aware of the danger of and symptoms of Mesothelioma as well as communicate the potential danger and any symptoms to their physician.  

Symptoms of mesothelioma can appear 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. These symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic cough, coughing up blood, night sweats, and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleural space are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma.  Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and cachexia, abdominal swelling and pain due to ascites (a buildup of fluid in the abdominal cavity). Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.

Mesothelioma can affect several areas of the body and can cause the following symptoms:

  • chest wall pain
  • pleural effusion, or fluid surrounding the lung
  • shortness of breath
  • fatigue or anemia
  • wheezing, hoarseness, or cough
  • blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up
  • abdominal pain
  • ascites, or an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen
  • a mass in the abdomen
  • problems with bowel function
  • weight loss
  • blood clots in the veins, which may cause thrombophlebitis
  • disseminated intravascular coagulation, a disorder causing severe bleeding in many body organs
  • jaundice, or yellowing of the eyes and skin
  • low blood sugar level
  • pleural effusion
  • pulmonary emboli, or blood clots in the arteries of the lungs
  • severe ascites
Shortness of breath and pain in the chest from accumulation of fluid in the pleura are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the mesothelioma cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.

Many of the above symptoms may be caused by mesothelioma or by other, less serious conditions. It is important to see a doctor about any of these symptoms. Only a doctor can make a diagnosis.  But like all cancers, early detection is important.

Texas Contingent Business Litigation Lawyer Represents Businesses, Inventors, and Investors on Contingent Contracts by Texas Contingent Business Litigation Lawyer

Texas Contingent Business Litigation Lawyer and Texas Patent Litigation Lawyer Represents Businesses, Inventors, and Investors on Contingent and Hybrid Contracts by Texas Contingent Business Litigation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

It is extremely common for a business owner, inventor, or investor to suffer a significant loss from the theft of intellectual property, a breach of contract, a business tort, or other illegal act, but not have sufficient resources to seek proper legal recourse for the loss or damages that they have suffered.  In these situations, a lawyer that accepts contingent cases is typically needed to work on the case.  Sometimes, especially in business litigation situations, it can often be difficult to find a good lawyer or law firm to take a case on a contingent contract.  Many lawyers and law firms are risk adverse and prefer to only handle cases on an hourly basis.  This aversion to risk forces many damaged or injured clients to forgo legal action or have to accept the entire risk of litigation. 

However, some lawyers and law firms will review Texas Business Litigation Cases for potential contingent contracts or hybrid contracts.  In reviewing cases for a potential contingent contract, these lawyers and firms will have to review sufficient evidence to determine that the case has merit and has significant damages to justify taking the risk of a contingent or hybrid contract.

Texas Contingent Business Litigation Lawyer and Texas Patent Litigation Lawyer, Jason Coomer, has represented businesses, inventors, and investors on contingent and hybrid contracts.  He handles a variety of complex business litigation including Theft of Intellectual Property and Patent Infringement Lawsuits, Texas Business Tort Lawsuits, Texas Real Estate Investment Fraud LawsuitsTexas Investment Fraud Lawsuits, Texas Business Dissolution Lawsuits, Texas Inherited Business LawsuitsTexas Oil Investment Fraud Lawsuits, and Whistleblower Reward Actions.

Texas Fire Accident Lawyer Represents Families Who Have Lost a Loved One In A Fire Accident and Persons Who Have Been Seriously Injured In A Fire Accident by Texas Fire Accident Lawyer

Texas Fire Accident Lawyer Represents Families Who Have Lost a Loved One In A Fire Accidents and Persons Who Have Been Seriously Injured In A Fire Accident by Texas Fire Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Each year over 30,000 people are killed or seriously injured by fire and smoke inhalation.  Many of these deaths and serious injuries are caused by preventable fire accidents where the negligence or carelessness of a landowner or business results in a devastating injury or loss.  In these situations, the person injured or the family of the person or people killed by the fire accident can often seek damages from the careless landowner or business.  For more information on Texas fire accident lawsuits, please go to the following web pages: Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer, Texas Serious Burn Lawyer, Texas Car Fire Lawyer, Texas Residential Fire Lawyer, and Texas Fatal House Fire Lawyer.   

The Destruction Accidental Fire Causes Each Year

In the United States alone, each year fire causes the death of approximately 4,300 people (more than all natural disasters combined) and seriously injures another almost 30,000. In addition to the serious burns, fatalities, respiratory problems, and other bodily injuries caused by fire, it is estimated that fire destroys  over $8,000,000,000 (eight billion dollars) in property damage each year.

Though fires occur in nature, many more accidental fires are caused by human error and negligence.  Negligence not only causes accidental fires, it can cause fire to spread more rapidly. From direct actions such as arson to more indirect actions such as faulty wiring, defective appliances, negligent storage, faulty construction, negligent maintenance, and lack of fire detection devices and/or prevention equipment, careless and negligent action cause far too many fires that wrongfully kill people, severely injure others, and destroy property.  Residential fires and home fires (apartment fire, duplex fire, and house fire) can be especially devastating as they can cause serious injury or death as well as destroy a life time worth of possessions.


The Dangerous Combination of an Older Home With Aluminum Wiring and Defective Smoke Detectors Can Result In A Fatal Home Fire

Many older homes including apartments, houses, and condominiums built in the 1960s and 1970s have aluminum wiring.  According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, these homes have an increased risk of fire hazard as aluminum wiring can overheat and cause a fire.  This can turn into a fatal fire if the home does not have a working smoke detector.  This deadly combination can allow an accidental electrical fire in the wall of a home to spread undetected and cause smoke inhalation, serious burns, or even death.  Defective smoke detectors and smoke alarms are especially problematic because the hidden fire can rapidly spread while people are sleeping allowing smoke to fill up the home causing people and pets to pass out from smoke inhalation.  If you own or are thinking of buying or renting an older home it is important to know if you have aluminum wiring and if your home has working smoke detectors.  This knowledge can help avoid a fatal house fire or fire tragedy.
