3. Medical Support for Mesothelioma

Our on-staff nurses are ready to answer your questions and connect you with medical care. They can also help you make travel arrangements and update your attorneys on any changes in your health.

4. Ability to Determine How You Were Exposed to Asbestos

Mesothelioma takes 10-50 years to develop after asbestos exposure, and you may not remember how you were exposed.

A top mesothelioma law firm can help with this by:

1. Determining when and where you were exposed to asbestos while you worked or served in the military.
2. Collecting evidence like information on your work history to identify the asbestos products that led to your mesothelioma diagnosis.
3. Determining the companies that made and sold the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to.

Using this information, your law firm can build and file the strongest mesothelioma lawsuit possible.

5. No Upfront or Out-of-Pocket Mesothelioma Lawyer Fees

You should receive a free consultation and not have to pay any hourly or upfront fees to work with a mesothelioma lawyer.

Top asbestos law firms handle cases on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they secure financial compensation for you.

6. Track Record of Strong Mesothelioma Payouts

Your mesothelioma law firm should have a history of securing substantial compensation for other clients.

Simmons Hanly Conroy has secured billions of dollars in mesothelioma compensation for patients since its founding in 1999.

Settlements and verdicts retrieved by our legal partners include:

This compensation can help cover medical bills, household expenses, and any other costs as you see fit.

7. Nationwide Network of Mesothelioma Attorneys

The mesothelioma law firm you work with should be able to help you or a loved one no matter where you live.

Local law firms likely won’t have the expertise or resources needed to build the strongest asbestos lawsuit possible for your case.

It’s in your best interest to work with a law firm that has a national presence. National firms can help file your lawsuit in the state most likely to result in a favorable outcome.

8. Past Experience With Asbestos Trust Funds

Your mesothelioma law firm should know how to access asbestos trust funds. The court system forced asbestos companies that filed for bankruptcy to set up trust funds to pay victims.

Bankrupt companies can’t be sued, but a law firm can file trust fund claims to secure compensation on your behalf. More than $30 billion is currently available in trust funds, and you can access some of this along with lawsuit payouts and VA benefits.

Our partner attorneys know how mesothelioma can put a strain on a veteran and their family. As a result, they’re committed to securing strong payouts as quickly as possible.

What Types of Lawsuits Do Mesothelioma Law Firms Handle?

Asbestos law firms typically file two types of mesothelioma lawsuits.

1. Personal injury lawsuits are filed on behalf of U.S. veterans or civilians with mesothelioma.
2. Wrongful death lawsuits are filed by a victim's family or estate after they pass away.

Remember: Our mesothelioma law firm will handle all the work that comes with a lawsuit on your behalf.

There’s no extra hassle for you and your family, allowing you to focus on getting medical care without worrying about the legal process.

“We gave all the lawsuit money to our kids, paid all their debts off, paid our house off, made our life a little easier because we had no financial worries. We still don't have any financial worries because of it. They don't either. And we have Simmons Hanly Conroy to thank for all that.”

— Art Putt, U.S. Army & Air Force veteran with mesothelioma
