Re: Asbestos

Have you been exposed to it, or confirmed diagnosis of Mesothelioma? Asbestos is not per se actionable - there are many properties that have asbestos in them, and so long as the asbestos is not friable (i.e., becoming airborne), then there is very little likelihood you will become sick, let alone have the basis for a lawsuit. Exposure without any disease is not necessarily going to be actionable either - most people from time-to-time breath minute amounts of asbestos and never become sick. I would suggest that you contact one of the many law firms who specialize in Asbestos and Mesothelioma to review your situation.
