Asbestos claims filed as lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers and other companies are based on legal theories such as negligence and products liability. The evidence is that the asbestos manufacturers knew long ago that asbestos-containing products were unsafe because the asbestos dust created during use of their products could cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. However, for many years, the asbestos companies failed to warn workers about the dangers of asbestos even though the companies knew about the medical connection between asbestos and mesothelioma as well as lung cancer and asbestosis.

Failing to warn of the dangers of asbestos makes the manufacturers are legally liable for asbestos claims brought by people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. Legal compensation is paid through settlements as well as after trial verdicts in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.

Our law firm has successfully handled asbestos claims involving mesothelioma, asbestos cancers such as lung cancer, and asbestosis for many people from across the country.

Most asbestos claims involve people who worked directly with asbestos-containing products or workers in the vicinity of job-site activities which created asbestos dust. Some asbestos claims, however, involve second-hand exposure if the worker brought the asbestos dust home on his clothing and exposed the family this way. Wives and children who have developed mesothelioma or an asbestos cancer are entitled to legal compensation from the asbestos companies as well.
