The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure
There is no safe level of asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a toxic mineral that was heavily used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries in the 20th century before its dangers were fully realized. By working around asbestos-containing products, many workers faced risks they were never warned about. Tragically, it can take 10-50 years for asbestos-related diseases to show symptoms after the initial exposure. This "latency period" means many victims are left wondering how or when they could have possibly been exposed decades earlier.
Were You Exposed to Asbestos on the Job?
If you developed mesothelioma or another asbestosis-related disease after working around asbestos products, you may be eligible for financial compensation. Common asbestos exposure settings include:
- Construction sites
- Shipyards
- Power plants
- Manufacturing facilities
- Automotive industry
- Iron and Steel Mills
- Refineries
- Industrial Sites (Boilermakers, Pipefitters, etc.)
Unfortunately, companies often failed to provide proper safety gear or warnings about working with asbestos products. This negligence is grounds for a mesothelioma lawsuit or claim with one of many asbestos trust funds. Our mesothelioma law firm can help investigate where and when asbestos exposure occurred.
Mesothelioma and Asbestos-Related Diseases
Asbestos exposure can cause serious illnesses and other asbestos-related cancers including:
- Mesothelioma - Cancer of the linings of the lungs (pleura) or abdomen (peritoneum)
- Lung Cancer - Cancer affecting lung tissue
- Asbestosis - Scarring and inflammation of lung tissue
- Pleural Plaques - Calcified lesions on pleura
The time between first asbestos exposure and diagnosis of related diseases is long, averaging 25-50 years. This makes it difficult to trace exposures causing current health issues. Our mesothelioma lawyers use medical and work histories to help find potential asbestos exposure evidence for your case.
Helping Mesothelioma Patients and Families
Receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis leads to emotional and financial stress for many families. Let our law firm help lift those burdens. Braver Law helps clients understand their legal rights and pursue maximum compensation through settlements or verdicts. We also connect patients with leading treatment centers and clinical trials. Our ultimate goal is improving the quality of life after a mesothelioma diagnosis - and getting you or your loved ones the compensation they deserve.
Financial Compensation for Mesothelioma Patients
Mesothelioma patients may be eligible for substantial financial compensation from different sources, including:
- Legal settlements from asbestos companies
- Asbestos bankruptcy trust funds
- VA disability benefits for qualifying veterans
Proper legal representation maximizes your potential compensation. Our mesothelioma law firm utilizes decades of asbestos exposure evidence and medical studies to build strong legal arguments on your behalf. We work relentlessly - leaving no stone unturned - to recover the maximum compensation you deserve.
Filing a Mesothelioma Lawsuit
Lawsuits are filed against negligent asbestos companies responsible for manufacturing products causing harm. To successfully win these cases, detailed evidence must trace asbestos exposure to the defendants. Our legal team consults medical records, work histories, government databases, and more to pinpoint companies linked to your exposure. We move quickly to file within strict legal deadlines. If the companies dispute responsibility, we take them to court and fight tirelessly on your behalf.
Lung Cancer Lawyers
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lung cancer due to asbestos exposure, our dedicated team of lung cancer lawyers at Braver Law is here to support you. We understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve. With our experience and expertise, we will guide you through the legal process with compassion and determination. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your options and take the first step towards seeking justice for your asbestos-related lung cancer diagnosis.
Asbestos Trust Funds and Settlements
Over 100 companies forced into bankruptcy by asbestos liabilities have established special trust funds to compensate victims. Collectively, these trusts hold over $30 billion. We assist clients in preparing strong claims to tap into these funds efficiently. Even if companies no longer exist or have limited assets, their trusts help many victims recover financial relief.
Settlements are another common result, avoiding lengthy trials. We negotiate firmly with companies to reach settlements that adequately compensate victims for hardships they caused. Settlements also typically pay faster than court verdicts. Our goal is maximizing your recovery as smoothly as possible.
