Here’s some basic information about lung cancer and financial compensation:

What is lung cancer?

Cancer occurs when cells grow uncontrollably in the body. Lung cancer stages range from stage 1, where the cancer is small and confined to the lungs, to stage 4, where it has spread to other parts of the body. There are two main types of lung cancer: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

  • Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is less common and grows rapidly.
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) includes subtypes like:
    • Adenocarcinoma: The most common type, found in the lung’s outer areas, affecting cells that produce mucus.
    • Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Occurs in the lining of the bronchial tubes.
    • Large Cell Carcinoma: Can develop anywhere in the lungs.

Lung cancer can be caused by exposure to harmful substances like asbestos, radon gas, diesel exhaust, tobacco smoke, and chemicals such as arsenic and benzene.

Who is most at risk for asbestos-related lung cancer?

Lung cancer related to work is often caused by inhaling toxins like asbestos without adequate protection. People who worked with asbestos are at high risk for developing lung cancer.

Workers at highest risk were employed in the following industries between 1930 and 1980:

  • Shipbuilding
  • Asbestos mining, milling, and manufacturing
  • Oil and gas drilling and production
  • Insulation
  • Demolition
  • Drywall
  • Asbestos removal
  • Firefighting
  • Automotive
  • Construction
  • Home services (plumbers, electricians, HVAC)
  • Railroad

Do I qualify for lung cancer financial compensation?

Individuals exposed to asbestos who now have lung cancer may be entitled to compensation for their pain, suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Because asbestos exposure was widespread before the 1980s, many lung cancer victims may qualify for compensation. Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Are you 62 years old or older?
  2. Was your lung cancer diagnosed within the last 10 years?
  3. Did you work in a job where you may have been exposed to asbestos, even briefly?

If you answered “yes” to all three questions, you likely have a strong case for compensation. Attorney Matthew Dillahunty is a lung cancer lawyer who can help identify incidents of asbestos exposure and determine who is liable.

How does asbestos cause lung cancer?

Asbestos is a natural fiber used in thousands of products for insulation and fire prevention, particularly from the 1940s to the 1970s. Exposure was most common in industries like shipbuilding, oil and gas drilling, and construction.

When asbestos is disturbed, microscopic fibers are released into the air. If inhaled, these fibers can lodge in the lungs, causing irritation and cellular damage over time, which may lead to cancer.

Legal options for lung cancer victims

Each case is unique, but generally, lung cancer victims exposed to asbestos have various legal and compensation options. You may qualify for funds from Asbestos Trust Funds set up by bankrupt manufacturers. We can also pursue a lawsuit or settlement against solvent companies if applicable.

Most claims target the manufacturers of asbestos products you were exposed to, not your current or former employer.

How much compensation can I receive for asbestos-related lung cancer?

The amount of compensation depends on factors like the severity of the cancer, the duration and intensity of the exposure, and the state where you live. Compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
