Newly Redesigned MestheliomaHelp.Net Provides Wealth Of Information On Asbestos-Related Diseases and Treatments
The website is sponsored by the New York Law Firm of Belluck & Fox, whose lawyers are leaders in litigation surrounding asbestos diseases, including mesothelioma.
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 9, 2010 — Belluck & Fox LLP, a nationally known New York personal injury firm, has unveiled a redesigned website, www.mesotheliomahelp.net (http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/), that provides a wealth of health and legal information about asbestos-related diseases.
“People who have been exposed to asbestos need a website that provides clear information about asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, as well as information on the latest medical treatments and legal options,” said Joseph W. Belluck, a partner in Belluck & Fox LLP. Belluck concentrates on representing mesothelioma victims and their families.
“Mesothelioma is a terrible disease that was largely preventable," Belluck said. "We want to help individuals and families suffering from this disease gain a better understanding of what they are confronting and how to respond.”
Among the newly reorganized sections of mesotheliomahelp.net are:
• Asbestos Exposure (http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/what_is_asbestos.html)—People can be exposed to harmful asbestos in many different ways, including in their own homes. The site explains why certain occupations and industries have a higher risk of exposure and higher rates of asbestos-related disease.
• Types of Disease—Mesothelioma takes several different forms. The site helps visitors identify the symptoms and the factors that influence a patient’s prognosis, including the life expectancy for a patient diagnosed with mesothelioma.
• Mesothelioma treatments (http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/about-mesothelioma.html)—Treatment of mesothelioma depends on the stage of the disease. The site explains why some patients are better candidates for surgery and also details various types of treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and non-traditional treatments.
• Support and Help—The website contains a nationwide database of physicians and treatment facilities that specialize in treating mesothelioma, so families can find medical care and treatment near them as well as support groups and Hospice resources.
The redesigned website includes improved navigation options, making it easier to find information addressing health questions. In addition, the site explains the legal rights and options that mesothelioma victims and their families have to seek compensation, with a list of questions to ask their attorney.
“Many of the companies that manufactured and used asbestos were well aware of its health risks,” Belluck said. “But they put profits ahead of safety. People who have been harmed by asbestos have a legal right to seek compensation from those who damaged their health. This website underscores our strong commitment to helping victims of mesothelioma and their families assert their legal rights while they focus on their health.”
