Asbestos is a flame retardant and cheap fibrous mineral that can be used in many different products and materials, which made it popular among manufacturers. From the early 20th century until the mid-1970s, asbestos was one of the most commonly used forms of insulation in the U.S. Significant compensation may be available for those affected by asbestos, thus, if you have developed lung cancer, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease, it is important to contact an attorney to explore your legal options.
