Clapper Patti Schweizer & Mason Mesothelioma Attorneys Serving San Diego, CA, Southern California and the entire United States

an Diego has ranked high over the years in the number of cancer-related deaths due to mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Because San Diego was a hub of activity for the United States Navy, many people were unknowingly exposed to asbestos fibers at ship repair facilities and naval bases. Over 400 people in San Diego County have been diagnosed with mesothelioma in the last 20 years. Yet mesothelioma isn’t limited to San Diego. Elsewhere in Southern California mesothelioma has affected workers and their families.

Communities such as Orange County, Ventura, San Bernardino and Los Angeles all harbor their share of mesothelioma cases. Los Angeles County reported 366 cases of mesothelioma between 2001 and 2005. Orange County reported 145 cases in the same period. San Diego County reported 157 cases.
