MESOTHELIOMA AND LUNG CANCER- Asbestos Philadelphia area
Asbestos-Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer
Your Exposure
Your Health
Your Rights
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED ASBESTOS AND DON'T KNOW THIS.
Asbestos is a mineral which was used for its heat resistant and strength qualities. It was used by many trades in numerous products and even household products.
Asbestos causes Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer. Mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer whose only know cause in the United States is asbestos exposure.
It takes from 10 to 60 years or longer after the first exposure to asbestos for a person to develop Mesothelioma. Short term, intense exposure may cause Mesothelioma many years later. Research by the EPA has concluded that any asbestos exposure may be sufficient to cause disease.
WHO IS AT RISK?
People who worked directly with or around asbestos such as insulators, shipyard, refinery, maintenance, building trades, and utility workers, military personnel, auto mechanics and others are at risk for developing Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer. This is known as occupational exposure.
Other people at risk are the spouses and children of those who worked with asbestos and brought asbestos home on their clothing. People, such as school teachers and office workers, who worked in buildings which contained asbestos are also at risk. These are known as household, non-occupational or indirect exposures and are similar to second-hand smoke.
People who performed or were present during residential and commercial building construction, renovations and remodeling are also at risk for developing Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer.
People who lived or worked near an asbestos mining or manufacturing facility are also at risk.
It is important to determine how, when and where you were exposed to asbestos.
WHAT ARE YOUR MEDICAL OPTIONS?
MESOTHELIOMA: is a cancer of the lining of the chest, the lining of the abdominal cavity or the lining of the heart.
Presently, there is no known cure for Mesothelioma. However, there are treatments that may improve the quality and quantity of life for people with Mesothelioma.
TREATMENTS FOR MESOTHELIOMA include:
Chemotherapy
Radiation Therapy
Surgery
Palliative Therapy
Experimental Therapies
Lung Cancer: is a cancer of the lung and air passages. Cigarette smoking and asbestos exposure combined to increase a person's risk of developing Lung Cancer by 50-90 times. Treatment options are similar to those for Mesothelioma.
SYMPTOMS

SHORTNESS OF BREATH
PAIN IN THE SHOULDERS, SIDE, BACK, CHEST OR ABDOMEN

CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
A CHEST X-RAY, CT SCAN, MRI OR PET SCAN CAN OFTEN DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF MESOTHELIOMA AND LUNG CANCER
LEGAL OPTIONS
If you have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma or Lung Cancer, you may have legal rights to sue the manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of the asbestos products for your injuries. Also, you may have legal rights to sue the contractors who installed and or/removed asbestos products as well as your employer. In many situations, the family of a deceased person may bring a lawsuit for personal injuries and/or wrongful death. Be aware that each state has a time period, known as statute of limitations, within which a person or the estate of the deceased person must file a lawsuit to be entitled to monetary compensation or be forever barred from any recovery. Each state has it’s own law regarding the time period to file a lawsuit and those laws are strictly enforced.

Medical malpractice
An estimated one million people are injured by errors during hospital treatment each year and 120,000 people die as a result of those injuries, according to a study authored by an expert from the Harvard School of Public Health. More people die from medical negligence each year than from the combined total fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents, falls, drowning and aviation incidents. These mistakes are rarely reported to the general public. Frequently, when confronted with a medical malpractice claim, the health care industry resorts to attacks on both lawyers and patients who are alleged to have filed groundless and frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits.
When someone has been injured by the medical negligence of a physician or hospital, expert legal assistance is required to place the victim on the same playing field with the health care industry and their tremendous resources in the ensuing litigation. Luke Pepper has a reputation for vigorously representing the interests of victims who have been injured by the negligence of health care professionals such as hospitals and physicians. My firm and network consists of attorneys with extensive knowledge in the complex medical and legal issues frequently faced in medical malpractice litigation. I have successfully represented people injured by medical malpractice in many different areas of medical practice.
Through many years of practice in this extremely complex area of litigation, Luke Pepper has developed the resources and the skill necessary in order to obtain the most favorable outcomes on behalf of their clients.
If you are injured by Doctor or hospital error, please call us for a free consultation. 267.626.7546

Estate planning- Philadelphia Area
Peace of mind is one of the main goals when thinking of estate planning. Having an estate plan means that you have the framework in place to make sure your wishes are carried out.
Sometimes, estate planning involves drafting a simple Will to set up a framework to divide your assists. From a financial standpoint, it can include the drafting of instruments to reduce inheritance and estate tax liability, establishment of Trust agreements to protect minor children.
When patients are incapacitated, the medical provider will ask a family member to decide on continued medical treatment or to end life-sustaining treatment when there is simple hope for recovery. To prepare for this possibility, many people decide to have a "Living will" or healthcare declaration in place. A living will or healthcare declaration appoints a person to decide with consultation of the medical provider whether to continue treatment in the case of incapacitation.
