Mesothelioma is an aggressive and incurable cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. If you have developed mesothelioma, you likely breathed in or handled asbestos years ago on your job or in your home. You have a legal right to seek compensation from those responsible for your illness or loss. And you need a strong legal advocate on your side.

Mesothelioma strikes more than 3,000 people each year. However, the time between exposure to asbestos and the onset of the symptoms can be 15 to 60 years. That means people like you may have been exposed to asbestos decades ago.

As with any lawsuit, we make every effort to resolve your case without a trial. In many instances, we are able to fully resolve your case without a trial.

Are there time limits for filing a legal claim?

You do not have an unlimited amount of time to file a personal injury claim. Each state has laws that limit the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit. Failure to comply with these laws may result in you being barred from taking legal action against asbestos companies.

If you decide to retain our services, we will work for you and your family on a contingency basis. This means that we do not receive a fee unless we our successful in obtaining settlements or recovering compensation for you and your family. Otherwise, you will not be billed for our services.

While the case is pending, we advance the costs of working on your case. Once the case is completed, the expenses and legal fees in your case are deducted from the money we recover on your behalf, and you and your family receive the remaining money from your settlements.

What if my loved one had died or is too sick to speak to an attorney?

By the time a person is diagnosed they are often too ill to participate in their own case. In some cases, your loved one may have passed away before a lawsuit was brought and before they were able to testify on their own behalf.

If an individual is unable to testify, we work closely with family, friends and co-workers to establish the facts we need to successfully prosecute the case. We also have access to a vast array of resources to secure information about the products to which your loved one was exposed.

If the individual has died, we can file a claim through the administrator or the executor of the estate, and also on behalf of the victim’s relatives.
