除了是 纽约领先的 9/11 律师, the Napoli Shkolnik firm frequently works with clients who are suffering from the deadly medical condition known as mesothelioma.

什么是间皮瘤？

间皮瘤是由接触称为石棉的有害物质引起的，是一种癌症，它会感染和攻击肺部内壁和呼吸系统的其他部分。在某些情况下，这些癌症可以扩散到肺部以外并进入心脏、整个胸部和腹部，甚至睾丸。与在多个方面类似于间皮瘤的石棉肺不同，接触石棉不会导致肺部形成疤痕。相反，成群的微小癌性生长在一个肺部扎根，然后慢慢扩散到另一个肺部。这些癌变群体使个体无法正常呼吸并获得保持健康所需的氧气。不幸的是，由于这种疾病很罕见，因此无法测量 接触石棉的程度 需要发展间皮瘤。

间皮瘤的症状是什么？

这 间皮瘤的症状 持续接触石棉会迅速发展并恶化。间皮瘤最常见的症状包括急剧和突然的体重减轻、频繁和放射状的胸痛、持续和剧烈的咳嗽，以及呼吸困难或呼吸浅。出现后不久，这些症状往往会恶化，使患者出现肌肉无力、发烧和贫血。这些感觉是由于患者体内缺氧引起的。

间皮瘤有治愈方法吗？

不像 石棉肺, 患者的预后可能长达数年，而间皮瘤患者在诊断后通常只能活几个月。这主要是由于间皮瘤极难检测。这种疾病也非常罕见，每年报告的病例不到 20,000 例。目前，还没有已知的间皮瘤治愈方法。许多治疗方案仅用于减轻症状和缓解患者生命最后几个月的不适。

著名定居点

保罗那不勒斯 and the mesothelioma attorneys at Napoli Shkolnik, have successfully won settlements for their clients that have significantly improved their ability to seek helpful treatment options. In one case, a client who worked as an insulator was exposed to direct contact with products that contained asbestos. After a career working with these products, the client developed mesothelioma. The Napoli Shkolnik mesothelioma attorneys obtained a $2 million settlement on behalf of the client and their family against companies like ExxonMobil, Shell Oil Co., and other major contractors and product manufacturers.

在另一个案例中，在暴露于大量石棉的环境中工作了 30 年后，宾夕法尼亚发电厂的一名维修工人患上了间皮瘤。该公司的间皮瘤律师能够从 30 多家生产和销售石棉产品的不同公司为其客户追回赔偿金。这项和解为客户赢得了数百万美元的赔款。

那不勒斯对间皮瘤的兴趣

2001 年 9 月 11 日对世界贸易中心的袭击造成了巨大的碎片场。在双塔倒塌期间，大量烟雾、灰尘、碎片和有害石棉纤维被释放到空气中。这些塔是使用近 400 吨石棉制品建造的。结果是，估计有 410,000 人在事件发生后立即接触到石棉毒素。这包括数百名救援人员和急救人员。作为帮助 9/11 悲剧的工人和幸存者的承诺的一部分，那不勒斯鼓励其律师事务所的合伙人专注于可以帮助这些客户获得定居点和援助的任何法律领域。
