Asbestosis Attorney in Grand Forks, North Dakota

Seeking Justice for Asbestosis Victims

Asbestosis is a serious lung disease caused by asbestos exposure. It can take decades for symptoms to develop, leaving victims with many questions about who may be held responsible for their injuries. David C. Thompson, P.C., in Grand Forks, draws on more than 30 years of experience to help victims of asbestos exposure throughout North Dakota, and nationwide, find answers and maximize compensation in asbestos-related litigation.

Microscopic asbestos fibers make their way into the lungs and become embedded in the small air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. Over time, the fibers cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue. As the lungs become more and more scarred, lung function is decreased. Some people are able to manage the effects of asbestosis with medical care. However, for many, the loss of lung capacity and function can be debilitating.

The warning signs and symptoms of asbestosis include:

• Shortness of breath

• A marked decrease in endurance and tolerance to engage in physical activity

• Pain or tightness in the chest

• A persistent cough

• Weight loss and loss of appetite

• Widening and rounding of the fingers and toes sometimes referred to as clubbing

• A dry, crackling sound while breathing
