Virginia Asbestos Lawyer

Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of cancer that most often attacks the lining of the lungs, abdominal cavity, and heart.  Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma. 

Asbestos manufacturers knew about the dangers of their product as early as the 1930s and 1940s, but they chose to do nothing to warn the general public.  They hid what they learned about asbestos from even their own workers.  It was only after the federal government initiated an investigation in the late 1970’s that these corporations admitted that asbestos caused cancer.   If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, call Allen & Allen for a free consultation at 866-388-1307.

History

Allen & Allen handled one of the first mesothelioma cases from asbestos in Virginia over three decades ago.  Our lawyers fought all the way to the Virginia Supreme Court, ultimately winning an excellent result for our client and paving the way for other asbestos victims to pursue claims. 

Today, asbestos companies have set up trusts designed to compensate victims of mesothelioma and their families.  Those who qualify may file a claim to recover their damages.  Call Allen & Allen for a free consultation regarding your possible Virginia asbestos case at 866-388-1307.

Since mesothelioma can take years and even decades to appear after asbestos exposure, these cases are complex and pose unique challenges.  Over time, most asbestos companies have changed their names, gone out of business entirely, or have been swallowed by larger corporations.  Simply locating the party responsible for your injuries can be a painstaking process. 

Your Asbestos Cancer Case

You must also prove when and where you were exposed to asbestos in order to receive compensation.  To establish these details, we must locate witnesses to give testimony about events that occurred up to forty years ago.  You will also need medical experts to trace your exposure to asbestos to the onset of mesothelioma. 

In short, you need a law firm experienced in mesothelioma litigation to help you navigate this maze and maximize your recovery.  You also need a firm whose goal is to minimize the stress to you and your family after you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma.  Choose the firm that helped open the door for victims of mesothelioma and their families to obtain compensation for the reckless actions of asbestos manufacturers.  We will handle your asbestos cancer case with compassion and dedication.

Initial consultations are free of charge, and you do not owe us a fee unless we win your case.
