Mesothelioma Cancer Victims: Top 5 States
Mesothelioma is type of asbestos cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers and is often times not diagnosed until years after the initial exposure. Research shows that an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma cancer are reported each year in the United States.

The states with the highest number of victims who have lost their lives due to mesothelioma cancer are California, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York and Texas.
Choosing a good mesothelioma attorney, lawyer or firm is imperative to ensuring that you will be awarded the highest amount of compensation for your case.
