California Asbestos Attorneys

Asbestos is the name given to a group of six naturally occurring fibrous metamorphic minerals; chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite. Before being regulated in 1970, asbestos was commonly used for a variety of industrial purposes, the most common of which was as an insulator. Asbestos is resistant to fire or heat, highly flexible and strong in tensile strength; sought-after properties for insulation materials.

When inhaled, asbestos fibers are carcinogenic and can lead to a variety of asbestos-related diseases like malignant mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer and asbestosis. Although regulated in the United States, asbestos is still predominantly found throughout the country in homes and older products that remain in circulation.
