Alabama Lung Cancer Lawyers

According to the National Cancer Institute, 21,694 deaths in Alabama were attributable to cancer during the period of 2002–2006 with 3,702 of those deaths caused by lung cancer. According to the director of thoracic surgery and medical director of the Valley Hospital's Blumenthal Cancer Center in Paramus, N.J., lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths and 85 percent of those diagnosed with lung cancer can expect to die from the disease.

Common causes of lung cancer include smoking and second-hand smoke as well as radon gas. Asbestos is another cause of lung cancer. If you have inhaled dust particles that settled in your lungs, this dangerous substance could be the cause of your lung cancer or a contributing factor.

Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma. In almost all cases, someone diagnosed with mesothelioma has the right to file a mesothelioma lawsuit or seek an Alabama lung cancer settlement to recover compensation. Mesothelioma has a long latency period, because it can take up to 50 years to manifest. If a person diagnosed with mesothelioma has died, the survivors or estate may be able to file a mesothelioma lawsuit.
