Nevada Mesothelioma Information

Nevada, according to the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau, is the 35th most populated state in the country with nearly two million residents. In 1999, the National Center for Health Statistics reported there were 22 mesothelioma deaths in Nevada. Although Nevada ranks 31st in the country in mesothelioma deaths, its age-adjusted mortality rate ranks fourth nationwide. In Washoe County alone there were eight mesothelioma deaths in 1999. Over a 20-year period beginning in 1979, there were 85 asbestos-related deaths in Clark County.

Tragically, many workers at Nevada's industries (including power plants and construction sites) have been exposed to asbestos and diagnosed with mesothelioma. Many Nevada companies that manufactured, sold, or installed asbestos products did so in spite of knowing its deadly hazards. Further, these companies failed to warn or protect their workers.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, contact a Nevada mesothelioma attorney for a case evaluation. You may be entitled to monetary damages.
