Asbestos Exposure in Alabama

From Mobile to Huntsville, Alabama, there were several industries where people were commonly exposed to asbestos, including eight power generation plants, six steel and iron mills, four oil refineries, two marine construction and repair sites, Kimberly-Clark pulp and paper mill plants, and cement asbestos company plants.

Factories, mills, and refineries used asbestos-containing products in processing and production, exposing their employees and customers to these harmful fibers.

Many buildings in Alabama, such as government buildings in Mobile and NASA facilities in Huntsville, were constructed using asbestos before it was regulated in the 1970’s due to known health risks.

Workers at these sites listed below are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma and lung cancer. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites listed below also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.

What is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that develops in the mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue that covers most internal organs. It is primarily caused by exposure to asbestos, a group of minerals made of microscopic fibers that were widely used in construction, insulation, and other industries due to their heat resistance and strength.
Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in Alabama
To this date, more than 700 mesothelioma and asbestos-related deaths and thousands of lung cancer diagnoses have been reported from Alabama. That number ranks the state of Alabama 22nd in the United States on deaths caused by mesothelioma.
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.
