Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the abdominal lining and requires specialized legal representation. Our veteran-owned service connects you with attorneys who understand this rare cancer.
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that develops in the peritoneum—the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity. It accounts for approximately 20% of all mesothelioma cases, with pleural (lung) mesothelioma being more common.
Like all forms of mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure. The latency period is typically 20-50 years, meaning symptoms often don't appear until decades after exposure.
Peritoneal mesothelioma cases require attorneys who understand the unique medical aspects of abdominal asbestos cancer and can work with specialized oncologists.
Experienced attorneys have investigators who can trace your asbestos exposure back 30-50 years to identify responsible parties.
Victims may be entitled to compensation from lawsuits, trust funds, VA benefits, and workers' compensation. Specialists know how to maximize recovery.
Statutes of limitations vary by state (1-6 years). Given the aggressive nature of peritoneal mesothelioma, quick action is essential.
