British Parliament Acts to Protect Mesothelioma Family Victims
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
In the United States, the rate of fatality among mesothelioma patients is two to three thousand a year. The UK nearly matches that rate: British mesothelioma deaths occur at the rate of about 2,000 per year. In both countries it has been established that family members of individuals who have been repeatedly exposed to asbestos at some point during their working years are also at higher risk for contracting the disease. Mesothelioma often surfaces decades after the exposure to asbestos.
