Hello Peter
Sorry to hear about your brother’s health problem.. Mesothelioma is a slow developing and fatal disease. It is a lung cancer that will spread to other parts of the body. It can affect the lungs, the abdomen and heart. Asbestos exposure is the most common cause of mesothelioma. Asbestos used to be found in building supplies. It’s use was all but stopped from the mid 1970′s, but because it is slow to develop, the cases of mesothelioma were started decades before then.
There have been many successful cases against asbestos mining companies and building material manufacturers. Idon’t know if your brother would be able to join a class action, which presents a stronger case?
There’s a good source of legal advice at this blog: http://www.mesotheliomalegaladvice.org/
Hope this helps.
