The Life and Times of Warren Zevon

Thursday, September 30, 2010

During sickness it is unlikely that the patient himself or anyone relating to him would find big, thick books of law, flounder through them and then seek appropriate legal advice. Because the whole idea itself looks absurd when it is contemplated or put into effect. So, especially when someone is affected with a disease like mesothelioma, then sooner or later mesothelioma lawsuits become inevitable to claim the compensation. In this earth very few people or organization probably would themselves provide rightful compensation to the victims of their unjust doings, unless compelled by a competent court of law.

How Can You Begin the Process of Filling a Mesothelioma Lawsuit?

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

If you feel intimidated by the thought of filing a lawsuit you are definitely not alone. Most people are reluctant to file any kind of lawsuit, even if they know they were wronged. And even if they have decided to initiate the process many people don't know where to begin.
Frivolous lawsuits have become the bane of society. They cause prices to go up and bog down the legal system.
However, if someone or some company has wronged you intentionally and caused you harm, then there is no frivolity involved. It is totally within your rights, and some would say that it's your obligation, to file a lawsuit.
Asbestos companies have known for more than 100 years that the products they manufacture can and do kill people. Yet because of their selfish interests they have withheld that information from their workers and from the general public. They have even gone so far as to lie about their knowledge of the harm that this substance can cause.
As a result, tens of thousands, and perhaps even hundreds of thousands of people have contracted asbestos related diseases such as mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that, once diagnosed, spreads rapidly. It inevitably leads to what can be a painful death.
If you have contracted this disease, or if one of your loved ones (living or dead) has, then you have every right in the world to file a mesothelioma lawsuit. Many mesothelioma attorneys make it as easy as they can to help you.
Most people start the process of filing a mesothelioma lawsuit by going online in order to find a law firm that specializes in these types of cases. If you begin your search it would probably be best to focus on a law firm that has won a substantial amount of claims for their clients. There are law firms that have literally helped their clients receive billions of dollars in settlements.
When you find a firm that you would like to consider you will often see both a phone number and a request for an evaluation form on their website. Just choose the method that you are most comfortable with.
If you decide to call them, a representative usually will take your contact information and then ask you a few quick questions. They do that to ensure that they can properly direct your inquiry.
Within a short amount of time, whether you filled out a form or made a call, a representative of the firm will call you at the number you provided and a case manager will send you a follow-up email. That email will start the process and give you a number that you can use to contact him or her directly.

Most Cancers Are Caused by What's in Your Food and Environment

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

"Cancer can be defeated" This phrase has served as a rallying cry for sick cancer patients for decades, but a growing number of scientific research henceforth come to the conclusion that the most effective weapon against this disease remains prevention.
"We know that the epidemic of cancer today is due to many carcinogenic substances in the air, water and food," said Liz Armstrong who co-authored the book Cancer: 101 Solutions to Preventable Epidemic.
Most products we use daily, whether at home, at school or at work, contain many carcinogenic substances. Some pesticides, for example, have mostly been associated with lymphoma, leukemia as well as cancers of the prostate, lung, breast and ovaries cancers. When polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, found in both the exhaust from trucks and cars and second hand smoke from cigarettes, they are associated with lung cancers, skin cancers, bladder cancers and kidney cancers. In addition, a causal link was established between formaldehyde (a substance commonly used in furniture manufacturing chipboard) and cancer of the lymphatic system and brain tumors. In identifying and eliminating carcinogenic agents present in the environment, we contribute to the prevention of this devastating disease.

Asbestos and Pleural Effusion

Imagine having to paddle as hard as you can to stay above water to keep you from drowning. Now think of something even worse-drowning from within as fluid fills up in your pleural cavity, preventing your lungs from expanding with oxygen. This condition is known as pleural effusion.
Our torso is basically divided into two halves. The bottom portion is the abdomen, and it contains things like the stomach and intestines. The top half is the part that holds your lungs. The torso is divided by the diaphragm, which is the large muscle that helps lungs to expand and contract. The cavity that holds the lungs is called the thoracic cavity, and the area surrounding the lungs is called the pleural space.

The Concept of Hope and Mesothelioma Survivors

Sunday, August 1, 2010

I am a kidney cancer patient and my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer seven months before I learned about my disease. That doesn't make me a doctor or an expert, but I think it gives me some credibility and will put things into perspective as you read this article, especially when I talk about things like 'hope' and 'positive attitude'.
