How We Build & Win These Cases (step-by-step)
Intake & Investigation → medical proof (pathology, oncology notes) + exposure mapping (jobs, sites, ships, product IDs). (NIOSH/OSHA exposure routes and materials guide this work.) CDC
Jurisdiction & Strategy → file where law and facts best support your claim; pursue trust claims in parallel where eligible (GAO). Government Accountability Office
Complaint & Discovery → depositions, product identification, corporate records; settlement talks run throughout.
Trial or Settlement → many matters settle; others go to verdict based on evidence strength.
Veterans (if applicable) → we help file for VA disability; mesothelioma is typically rated 100% during active disease/treatment (38 C.F.R. §4.97, DC 6819).
Why Asbestos Victims and Families Trust Us with Their Mesothelioma Cases
Key Facts
Mesothelioma is rare: 2,669 U.S. cases (2022), per CDC/USCS. CDC
Trust funds exist to pay victims: ~60 trusts / ~$37B assets (GAO). Government Accountability Office
VA benefits are separate from private claims; eligible veterans can pursue both.
From manufacturing and power plants to oil and rail work, workers have faced high-risk asbestos exposure for decades. Even spouses and family members exposed through work clothes may be entitled to compensation.
We help clients file fast-moving asbestos trust fund claims — many of which don’t require a lawsuit or court appearance. We’ve secured millions for families around the country, and we’re ready to help you too.

What a Mesothelioma Lawyer Actually Does (evidence-first)
Proves asbestos causation using medical and exposure records. Major public-health authorities (NCI/CDC/WHO) recognize asbestos as a known human carcinogen that causes mesothelioma. Cancer.gov
Documents exposure (worksites, products, Navy vessels, co-worker statements) against manufacturer and premises records; typical asbestos-containing materials include insulation, gaskets, cement, brakes (OSHA/NIOSH). OSHA
Optimizes your compensation path across asbestos trust funds, lawsuits, and (for veterans) VA benefits. GAO reports ~60 trusts with ~$37B in assets; VA recognizes service-related asbestos conditions.

How do I choose the right mesothelioma lawyer?
Look for a dedicated asbestos team, verifiable case results, and willingness to file trust claims + lawsuits in parallel. National public-health authorities (NCI/CDC/WHO) confirm asbestos causes mesothelioma—your lawyer should know where and how exposure proofs are found. Cancer.gov
Can I pursue trust funds and a lawsuit at the same time?
Yes. They’re separate paths and commonly pursued in parallel to maximize recovery. Government Accountability Office
Do VA benefits reduce my lawsuit or trust recovery?
No. VA disability is independent of private claims; many veterans do both. Veterans Affairs

Active malignant respiratory cancers, including mesothelioma, are generally rated 100% during active disease/treatment, with reevaluation six months after treatment ends. eCFR
