Oregon residents who were exposed to asbestos in the workplace, in the home or other locations may qualify to bring a case and receive compensation for the injuries they have suffered. Discussing your situation with a lawyer who has the experience to handle Oregon mesothelioma cases is the first step in making sure that your rights are fully protected.

Workers with jobs at shipyards or other asbestos jobsites in Portland, Eugene, Salem and other cities and towns in Oregon may have been exposed to products that contain asbestos in the workplace. Veterans who served in the U.S. Navy, Merchant Marines or other branches of the armed forces may also have suffered exposure onboard asbestos-containing ships or through the use of other hazardous materials.

It can take as long as 50 years following asbestos exposure before an individual develops the first symptoms of mesothelioma or another asbestos cancer. A mesothelioma lawyer can help you to remember the asbestos products to which you may have been exposed and identify the parties who may have been responsible for the injuries you have suffered.
