Merlin Olsen the great football star for the Los Angeles Rams and movie actor on T.V.worked around asbestos when he was a young boy and could have contracted the malignant disease there.
The effects of inhaling asbestos fibers can take as long as 50 years to develop, depending on the condition.
Those who develop lung cancer or asbestosis may begin to feel symptoms as early as 10 years after exposure.
Victims of mesothelioma on the other hand often do not feel any symptoms until at least 20 years after their initial exposure to asbestos.
Merlin died at the age of 69 years old.
Get an Xray when you have a yearly checkup and help yourself live a longer life.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma
The symptoms of Mesothelioma are many,but the most noticeable symptoms are;
shortness of breath
coughing
chest pains
abdominal pain
lumps under skin
coughing blood
fevers
sweating at night
raspy coughing
The bad part is the diagnosis of this asbestos related disease,as the only way that it is found is through x-rays.
You need to get an x-ray and a blood test every year to maintain a healthful knowledge of your body and what it is doing in there.

Statue of limitations
A family can file a claim for this disease before or after the death of a loved one as the courts will usually have the guilty party pay the health bills.
But you also have a statue of limitations to the mesothelioma lawsuit.You will want to check the state statue of limitations in the state you reside in.

Causes of Mesothelioma
The causes of Mesothelioma are working in or around asbestis mines or products,which give off dust particles.
These dust particles are actually minute fibers in which one breaths into the lungs.
When the particle gets to the lungs it attaches itself to the lining and then starts to create an irritation,which in time causes lesions or cancer in the lung area.
The disease is usually not diagnosed until it is in the late stages,at which time there is not much a Doctor can do,but put you on oxygen,and hope for the best.
You do not have to work in a mine or plant to contract this disease,as it is carried on your loved one's clothes to the home and then you breath in the dust particles and contract the disease that way.
You need to wear a protective mask at all times when working with asbestos materials.
And change your work clothes outside the home,if at all possible.

Types of Mesothelioma lawsuits
Two types of lawsuits that can be filed in asbestos injury cases.
If a family member has passed away from an asbestos-related disease, a wrongful death suit can be filed.
In a personal injury claim, the individual suffering with an asbestos-related illness must be the one to file suit. Specific rights in these lawsuits depend on the county and state where the case is filed.
Employees of companies that used asbestos are not the only individuals who have rights against asbestos manufacturers.
Although the vast majority of mesothelioma litigation cases are between primary asbestos exposure victims and the manufacturers of asbestos containing products, other groups have rights as well.
If you experienced secondary exposure and have developed an asbestos-related disease because a spouse or family member worked with asbestos, you may also have a claim.
