Representation in Court

Asbestos was once a common material across various industries. Workers performed their jobs side-by-side with it for many years without realizing the dangers it could pose to their health. Many of these people later developed asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. Fortunately, the victims and their families can recover compensation from the companies that put profits ahead of safety by filing an asbestos lawsuit.

An experienced asbestos lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation prior to filing your case. This includes identifying all sources of exposure and anticipating defense strategies of the responsible parties. Often, a victim's asbestos-related illnesses were the result of different kinds of exposure. For example, pipefitters who worked at a power station may have been exposed to nuclear and coal-fired energy as well as nuclear. They were exposed to asbestos and insulation used to wrap high-heat equipment such as boilers, generators, and pipes.

Once your lawyer has decided that you are able to file a lawsuit, they will begin gathering medical evidence and expert witness testimony to support your claim. This could include getting copies of your medical records as well as hiring medical experts to testify in depositions and at trial. Expert testimony is crucial to establish the causation and legal basis of your claim.

The liable defendants in a asbestos lawsuit will often attempt to minimize their liability by filing frivolous motions and other strategies to delay or even derail your case. Your attorney will thwart these attempts to delay your case and ensure it moves forward.

Mesothelioma is a dreadful disease that affects the lung's lining (pleura) in a manner that makes breathing difficult. It can also affect other organs, like the heart and chest wall. Inhaling asbestos fibers, which are absorbed by the lungs after they are airborne, causes it. Pleural mesothelioma can be diagnosed years after asbestos exposure, and sufferers can suffer for a long time before being diagnosed.

Every state has laws that limit how long one can pursue legal action against companies that manufacture, sell, or use harmful products such as asbestos. You should consult an asbestos lawyer if you have been diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses or if a loved one has died due to mesothelioma or a different asbestos law-related illness.
