Asbestos is both useful, yet also toxic and can cause mesothelioma. In the early 1990s, many people believed that asbestos was the easiest and also least expensive material for construction. Only decades later did construction workers show signs of lung disease, which caused scientists and doctors to take a closer look at asbestos’ properties.

The results of the studies conducted have forced local governments to change their health bills such that they were tougher against asbestos claims, and to protect people who became sick after breathing in asbestos fibers. These changes to the law have empowered victims to file suits against companies that have used asbestos in their businesses.
