Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawsuit - Explanation and Legal Help


Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Asbestos Mesothelioma is a lethal type of cancer that involves mesothelium, the lining that encloses and protects most of the body’s internal organs. The most common and widely known cause of mesothelioma cancer is exposure to asbestos, a product commonly used in fire retardant materials, building materials, brake pads, and many more industrial related materials. Common symptoms of asbestos mesothelioma include cough, chest pain, abdominal swelling, fatigue, and shortness of breath. It takes a long time for symptoms to appear, this usually takes 10-20 years depending on the amount and time of exposure. image courtesy of wikipedia.org

Wrongful termination, or sometimes called as wrongful dismissal and wrongful discharge, is a legal phrase which means that the employer has illegally fired or laid off an employee in violation of the employee’s rights. Although many states in the US have adopted the “work at will” or “employment at will” doctrine, which states that an employee can quit his/her job anytime and an employer can fire an employee at will, there are still exceptions to be considered before an employee can be labeled as wrongfully terminated. Laws regarding wrongful termination vary by country. In the US, there is no single law concerning “wrongful termination”, but there are several federal laws, state laws, and court decisions regarding this matter.
