If I Smoked Cigarettes, Can I Still File A Claim Against The Asbestos Companies?

Asbestos alone can cause lung cancer. If you smoked in the past or are presently smoking, and have been diagnosed with lung cancer, asbestos may be the cause of your cancer. For smokers, asbestos and tobacco act together, greatly increasing the risk of lung cancer.

Smoking does not cause mesothelioma or asbestosis. Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis, it was caused by your asbestos exposure, and has no relationship to your smoking.   It is your right to seek compensation from those responsible for your situation.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis, it is important that you contact an attorney immediately. Contact Belluck & Fox to learn your legal rights.
