Common Questions

WE HEAR THESE EVERY DAY

In most cases, no. Over 95% of mesothelioma cases settle before trial. We negotiate aggressively on your behalf. However, if going to trial means significantly more money for your family, we are fully prepared and experienced in the courtroom.

You still have strong options. When asbestos companies declare bankruptcy, they're typically required to establish trust funds to compensate future victims. Over $30 billion is available in these trusts. We identify every fund you may qualify for and file simultaneously to maximize recovery.

Yes. If your loved one died from mesothelioma, you may file a wrongful death lawsuit. The statute of limitations for wrongful death runs from the date of death, not diagnosis — so contact us immediately to understand your timeline and protect the family's rights.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee only — we get paid a percentage of what we recover for you, and only if we win. No hourly fees, no retainers, no out-of-pocket expenses. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.

Absolutely. Investigating your exposure history is our job. We have a team of investigators and access to a comprehensive database of asbestos-containing products, manufacturers, and job sites across every industry. We often identify exposures — and defendants — that clients didn't even know about.
