Pulmonary Fibrosis Claim Eligibility

How Does Asbestos Exposure Lead To Pulmonary Fibrosis?

Although the causal relationship between asbestos exposure and pulmonary fibrosis has not been recognized yet, a series of reliable medical studies found this disease highly prevalent among former industrial workers and veterans who were repeatedly exposed to high levels of the toxic mineral. With a pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis, you need diagnosis confirmation by further testing to make sure that your case matches the eligibility criteria.

The signs of asbestos-related pulmonary diseases can be detected by conducting a chest X-ray which should be reviewed by a board-certified B-reader radiologist.

Since pulmonary fibrosis can have multiple other causes than asbestos exposure, it is essential to have asbestos fibers in your lungs in order to become eligible for filing a claim. Once we are sure your disease is the consequence of exposure to asbestos in industrial or military settings, we can further review your case.

Diagnosing asbestos-related illnesses can be difficult, especially if past asbestos exposure is omitted from the occupational profile. A pulmonary fibrosis misdiagnosis greatly affects your prognosis and also the financial compensation you are going to recover because the amount of money an asbestos victim is eligible to receive from the asbestos trust funds depends mainly on the diagnosis. We strongly recommend seeking a second opinion from a specialist in asbestos-related diseases as this can help you receive an accurate diagnosis.
