Mesothelioma Lawyers in California
Mesothelioma is an aggressive, rare form of cancer that is almost always caused by asbestos exposure. Unlike other cancers, mesothelioma has a long latency period, often developing 20-50 years after initial asbestos exposure. Mesothelioma mainly affects the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma), but can also occur in the abdominal cavity (peritoneal mesothelioma). If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure, contact the mesothelioma lawyers in California to file a claim.

Asbestos Use in California
Asbestos was widely used across California throughout the 20th century, especially in shipyards and other industrial job sites. Many workers were exposed to high levels of asbestos on a regular basis.
In the 1970s, asbestos health risks were well-documented and its use began to decline. However, many individuals had already been exposed decades prior. Known hotspots for asbestos exposure include Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego, where numerous shipyards and refineries resulted in more widespread exposure.
Even short-term asbestos exposure can cause mesothelioma to develop years later. That’s why thousands of California workers face diagnosis even though asbestos is less common today.
Mesothelioma Diagnoses in California
California has one of the highest incidences of mesothelioma diagnosis in the United States. Approximately 700 cases are diagnosed annually.
Common symptoms of mesothelioma include chest pain, difficulty breathing, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss. However, these symptoms can be mistaken for less serious conditions. It is critical that individuals with a history of asbestos exposure see mesothelioma specialists for proper diagnosis.
The experts at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are leading mesothelioma research and clinical trials. Individuals in California are fortunate to have access to these highly experienced mesothelioma specialists.
Filing a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in California
Individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma may be entitled to financial compensation through lawsuits. Industrial companies that negligently exposed their workers to deadly asbestos can be held liable for resulting illnesses like mesothelioma decades later.
California has relatively long statutes of limitations that allow victims to file lawsuits many years after initial asbestos exposure. This makes it possible for individuals recently diagnosed to still take legal action even if exposure occurred long ago.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma after asbestos exposure, it is critical to consult a mesothelioma lawyer in California to understand your legal options.
Choosing a Mesothelioma Lawyer in California
When facing an aggressive disease like mesothelioma, it is imperative to have knowledgeable legal advocates fighting on your behalf. Mesothelioma lawsuits are extremely complex, so choosing lawyers with specific expertise is vital.
Beware of lawyers who make generic offers without actually evaluating your individual case details. The best lawyers show compassion while having sufficient resources and legal experience with these cases.
Look for a lawyer or firm that has a proven track record with mesothelioma lawsuits in California courts. Our familiarity with state laws, judges, and defendant companies can greatly benefit your case.
Braver Law's Approach to Mesothelioma Lawsuits
At Braver Law, we take a customized approach to every mesothelioma case based on our client’s specific situation. We work diligently to identify all potentially liable companies, even those that may not seem immediately connected to asbestos exposure. Our investigation skills frequently unearth additional defendants.
We consult medical experts to establish causation between asbestos exposure and our client’s diagnosis. We gather employment records, statements from coworkers, and details of working conditions to prove negligence. These efforts result in the greatest chance of success.
Our legal team provides compassionate yet aggressive representation. We stay by our clients’ sides through every step of the process, providing counsel on legal options while supporting families through difficult times.
Recovering Compensation in Your Lawsuit

Can family members file a mesothelioma claim?
+
If someone dies from mesothelioma, their family can file a wrongful death suit against the asbestos companies responsible. Economic damages like funeral expenses, medical bills, and lost income can be claimed, along with non-economic damages for the loss of your loved one. We can advise you on the wrongful death claim process and file suit on your behalf.
Will I have to go to trial for my mesothelioma claim?
+
Most mesothelioma cases settle out of court before reaching trial. Defendants want to avoid risky and expensive trials, so they often agree to negotiated settlements. However, sometimes a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, and we must take your case to trial. Our experienced trial lawyers will aggressively represent your rights before a judge and jury if needed.
How long does it take to resolve a mesothelioma claim?
+
Again, each case is different, but the typical timeline is 12-18 months from the initial filing to resolution. The process involves extensive investigation and evidence collection, followed by settlement negotiations or a trial. Delays may happen, so we work quickly to make sure your case moves forward in a timely manner. Our goal is to secure compensation for you as soon as possible.
