What Do Top Mesothelioma Lawyers Do?

At Simmons Hanly Conroy, your team of mesothelioma attorneys will investigate all possible sources of compensation in your case in order to maximize the amount of money you may recover.

If you have a case, our asbestos lawyers will:

• Determine the asbestos companies that made the products you were exposed to
• Identify all avenues of compensation available to you
• File a mesothelioma lawsuit or asbestos trust fund claim on your behalf
• Negotiate a settlement payout or fight for a verdict in court

Our team handles all aspects of the legal process for you, taking the burden off of you and your family.

Depending on the unique details of your asbestos case, your lawyer may take the following route(s) to financial compensation.

Personal Injury Lawsuits

Personal injury lawsuits can be filed by a mesothelioma patient against the company that made the asbestos product they were exposed to.

Our mesothelioma attorneys can help victims pursue compensation for medical treatments and other expenses.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits

If your family member passed away of mesothelioma, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf.

A mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuit is filed against the manufacturer of the product that exposed your loved one to asbestos, and it may provide your family with financial security following a tragic loss.

Asbestos Trust Fund Claims

When the dangers of asbestos became known to the public, some asbestos companies declared bankruptcy in an effort to avoid lawsuits. However, courts ordered these companies to create asbestos trust funds to pay current and future victims of asbestos exposure.

A mesothelioma attorney can help you file a claim to receive compensation from an asbestos trust fund. Currently, there’s an estimated $30 billion remaining in these trusts.

VA Claims for Benefits

If you’re a military veteran with mesothelioma, you may be eligible to receive VA benefits. Our VA-accredited attorneys can help you navigate the VA claims process and access any benefits you may be entitled to.

Veterans often also qualify for compensation from a legal claim, which won’t prevent them from receiving benefits. We don’t file lawsuits against the U.S. military or government — but against the maker of the asbestos products.

Lawyers for Mesothelioma Can Secure Compensation

Unfortunately, a mesothelioma diagnosis can wreak havoc on a family’s finances. Treatments alone can cost an average of over $400,000 per year, and insurance may not cover all expenses associated with your care.

At Simmons Hanly Conroy, we believe money is the last thing you should be worrying about after a diagnosis. Our attorneys can help you pursue mesothelioma compensation, so you can remain focused on your health and your loved ones.

Although compensation can be used for anything, many clients use it for:

• Medical bills like medications or treatments
• Travel fees to medical specialists
• Lost income
• Household expenses
• Financial security for your family
• Physical therapy
• Funeral costs

Our asbestos exposure lawyers have a history of securing settlements and trial verdicts from mesothelioma legal claims.

Past Settlements Our Asbestos Lawyers Secured

Depending on the specific factors of your case, the defendant might make a settlement offer to resolve the case outside of court and away from public scrutiny.

In fact, most of our cases end in mesothelioma settlements, which means many of our clients never have to step foot in a courtroom.

Below are a few of the settlements our mesothelioma attorneys have secured:

• $6.8 million to a carpenter in Florida
• $4.3 million for a U.S. Army veteran and boilermaker
• $10 million to a Missouri boil tender with pleural mesothelioma
• $8 million for a pipefitter and plumber in Texas
• $4.7 millionto a laborer with mesothelioma
• $5.6 million for an engineer in Missouri
• $7 million for a wire installer in California
• $3.75 million to the family of a laborer in Pennsylvania

Our asbestos lawyers have extensive experience filing mesothelioma lawsuits, which allows us to be one of the fastest law firms in the country to secure resultsfor our clients.

Verdicts Our Mesothelioma Trial Attorneys Won

Though most of our cases end in asbestos settlements, our mesothelioma trial lawyers have experience securing results in court trials as well.

When a case goes to court, your asbestos attorneys argue your case before a judge and jury, who ultimately decide on a compensation amount in the form of a verdict.

Here are just a few of the verdicts our mesothelioma trial attorneys have been awarded:

• $250 million for an Indiana steel worker
• $34 million to a mechanic in Los Angeles
• $10.3 million to a New Orleans longshoreman

6 Questions to Ask Your Mesothelioma Attorneys

In order to find the best mesothelioma lawyer for your case, you need to ask them the right questions. Here are just a few key questions to ask your asbestos attorney before agreeing to work with them — as well as what mesothelioma lawyers at our firm might say in response.

1. How long have you been trying asbestos-related cases?

For more than 20 years, Simmons Hanly Conroy has helped thousands of mesothelioma patients and their loved ones get justice and compensation when they need it most. John Simmons founded the firm in 1999 with the mission of helping families devastated by mesothelioma.

2. Do you focus primarily on asbestos litigation?

Our attorneys are deeply experienced in asbestos and mesothelioma litigation. Their focused practices have given them a keen understanding of the complex issues surrounding asbestos exposure.

The unethical attempts by corporations to keep information about the dangers of asbestos hidden from workers and their families make these cases quite different from other toxic tort cases.

As a result, our level of experience is a critical component in our ability to get you the compensation you deserve.

3. What support staff, in addition to my mesothelioma attorney, will work on my case?

Working with Simmons Hanly Conroy ensures you get an entire legal team on your side, which includes:

• A senior partner
• Mesothelioma attorneys with experience related to your case
• Paralegals
• Case investigators
• Registered nurses

Your dedicated legal team will handle all aspects of your case, so you can develop a strong bond with the lawyers fighting on your behalf.

4. Can you help gather information about my exposure to asbestos?

We’ve spent decades accumulating resources to support our clients’ cases. Your legal team will have access to our 20,000-square-foot warehouse of evidence on asbestos products, job sites and companies.

We also maintain a proprietary database that can determine if we’ve represented clients from the same job site as yours or from a similar one.

5. Does your firm donate to mesothelioma advocacy and research organizations?

We stand by our clients — both in and out of the courtroom. Simmons Hanly Conroy has donated over $20 million to cancer research, including mesothelioma research and support, more than any other plaintiff law firm in the United States.

6. Have you been recognized by any national organizations for your work?

Since 2014, Simmons Hanly Conroy has been ranked one of the “Best Law Firms” in the country by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers, and our asbestos lawyers have been on the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists since 2006.

Our verdicts have been included on the National Law Journal’s annual Top 100 Verdicts List, which ranks the top 100 verdicts annually in the country, since 2016.
