Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. The mesothelium is a protective lining found around almost all of the internal organs in the body. The Mesothelioma is predominantly observed in the pleura, the cavity around the lungs and the chest cavity. It may also be found around the covring around the heart and the abdominal cavity.

Asbestos has been proved to be the most common cause for Mesothelioma. The first Mesothelioma lawsuit was filed in the US in 1966. The case was lost. Subsequently the second case was won, the compensation being $80,000. Later a fraud and conspiracy was dicovered and it came to light that the owners of the industry always knew the harmful effects of asbestos and kept it from the employees. In fact documents revealed that the connection between asbestos and Mesothelioma was known to the industry since the early 1930's.

Heard Robins, the Mesothelioma lawyers from Houston have given the following figures on their website as the net compensation verdict in their favor ( Net means the amount to the client after all expenses including attorney fees):

$3,665,000.00
$3,625,000.00
$2,828,000.00
$2,450,000.00

That is a lots of money. Mesothelioma lawyers are known to be expensive. However the amount of money involved is so much that they go ahead with a claim of no win, no fees.

Even at 10 % as their fees ( the usual is 35%), the lawyers stand to make a lot of money. The history of the lawsuits and the direct connection between asbestos and Mesothelioma only goes to make their fight in the court room easier. Now imagine what they would pay for one person to come to them with a case of Mesothelioma. If there is a possibility of someone clicking on one of the Mesothelioma lawyer ads, they will embrace the method. Paying $90 - $100 for a click ( read client) who can get them a million dollars is money well spent

That is the precise reason Mesothelioma will always figure as the highest paying keyword.
