Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in thousands of products throughout the 20th century due to its strength and heat-resistant properties.
However, asbestos has since been linked to dangerous health conditions like:
After being inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibers can become lodged in the lining of certain organs and irritate healthy tissues and cells. Over time, the tissues and cells that have been affected by asbestos may mutate and become cancerous.
Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are so similar to those of other illnesses. Symptoms also may not appear for 20-50 years after the initial exposure.
Sokolove Law has registered nurses on staff who can help you understand your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatment options.
We are dedicated to helping those impacted by mesothelioma pursue justice and compensation.

List of Asbestos Exposure Sites in Texas
Throughout Texas, there are over 6,000 known sites that have been linked to asbestos exposure.
Exposure to asbestos in Texas may have occurred at many work sites, including:
These are just a few workplaces throughout Texas where asbestos has been found.
It is important to note that this list does not reflect the current conditions of these locations. Many sites have since removed all asbestos-containing materials.
An asbestos attorney in Texas can help determine if you may have been at risk of exposure at any of these sites.
Texas Jobs at Risk of Asbestos Exposure
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most asbestos exposures happen at work.
Since asbestos is more likely to be found at certain job sites or in certain materials, some occupations can put workers at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma.
Even people who have not directly worked around asbestos can be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Often, this is due to secondhand exposure to asbestos.
Secondhand exposure happens when someone who works around asbestos or asbestos products unknowingly brings the fibers home on their clothes or in their hair, potentially exposing their entire household.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, our team may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf. Contact us today to learn more.

2. We’ll Gather the Evidence for Your Case
Asbestos exposure can take place 20-50 years before a mesothelioma diagnosis, which can make identifying the manufacturer of the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to difficult.

Known sites of asbestos exposure
Asbestos-containing products

There, a judge and jury will hear your case and decide how much compensation you may receive through a mesothelioma verdict.
