Take the First Step

Signs of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure can lead to several serious health issues, often with symptoms that may not appear until many years after the exposure. Here are some common signs of asbestos exposure:

Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing is a primary symptom, often due to inflammation or scarring of the lung tissue.

Persistent Cough: A chronic cough that doesn’t go away and doesn’t seem to have another cause.

Chest Pain: Discomfort or pain in the chest area, which may be a sign of asbestos-related lung disease

Crackling Sound in Lungs: A crackling sound when inhaling, often detected by a doctor using a stethoscope.

Clubbing of Fingers: The tips of the fingers can become swollen and deformed.

Weight Loss: Unexplained weight loss can be a sign of serious health issues, including asbestos-related conditions.

Fatigue: Chronic tiredness and lack of energy can accompany respiratory problems.

Loss of Appetite: Decreased desire to eat, which can lead to weight loss and nutritional deficiencies.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Alabama

You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live. 

It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Alabama. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.

SWMW attorneys dedicate the overwhelming majority of their time and effort prosecuting mesothelioma claims, so we know which states and jurisdictions are going to provide the best outcome for your case and can get your case settled faster.

We handle asbestos cases all across the USA, so we know how to file, where to file, and what to do to get you the compensation you deserve. Call (888) 422-8877 to speak with an Alabama mesothelioma and asbestos attorney at SWMW Law.

  • “SWMW did an amazing job! They started the process with my father but during the process my father passed. They were so helpful when it came to us, his children, taking over in place of my dad. They answered every call and were extremely patient and supportive of us. They really did a great job with keeping us informed and educated. They fought for us. I would recommend them to anyone that hears the diagnosis of Mesothelioma. They will fight for you 100% of the way. Thank you SWMW Team for your support and patience!
