Hissey Mulderig & Friend Handles Mesothelioma and Asbestos Lawsuits

Hissey Mulderig & Friend represents workers across the country who were exposed to asbestos and later developed mesothelioma cancer or asbestos lung cancer. 

These lawsuits are filed against companies that manufactured, sold, or used asbestos products without properly warning workers about the risks. In many cases, companies knew asbestos was dangerous but failed to provide protection, safer materials, or adequate warnings. 

An asbestos lawsuit may help recover compensation for: 

• Medical bills and treatment costs 
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability 
• Pain and suffering 
• Travel expenses for treatment 
• Other related losses 

Asbestos cases often involve exposures that occurred decades ago at multiple job sites. An experienced asbestos attorney can review your work history, identify responsible companies, and explain whether you qualify to file a lawsuit. 

Who May Qualify to File a Mesothelioma or Asbestos Lung Cancer Lawsuit

You may qualify to file a lawsuit if: 

• You worked in a job where you were exposed to asbestos, or 
• You were exposed to asbestos particles that were brought home on the clothing, protective equipment of a parent who was an asbestos worker, and  
• You were diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer or asbestos lung cancer, or 
• You are the surviving spouse or adult child of a worker who died from an asbestos-related disease 

Many cases involve exposure in: 

• Construction sites 
• Shipyards 
• Refineries 
• Power plants 
• Factories 
• Industrial facilities 
• U.S. Navy ships 

An asbestos attorney can review your job history, exposure details, and medical records to determine whether you qualify. 

Workers With Symptoms May Qualify for a Free Asbestos Health Exam

Many workers do not realize that their respiratory or chest symptoms may be linked to past asbestos exposure. Because these diseases can take decades to develop, symptoms may not appear until many years after exposure. 

Common warning signs may include: 

• Persistent cough 
• Shortness of breath 
• Chest pain 
• Unexplained weight loss 
• Fatigue 
• Fluid buildup around the lungs 

Workers who believe they may have symptoms of mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer may qualify to receive a free asbestos health exam courtesy of Hissey Mulderig & Friend. 

These exams are designed to check for signs of asbestos-related disease and help workers understand their medical condition. Early evaluation may also help protect your legal rights. 

Can Family Members File an Asbestos Lawsuit?

Yes. In many cases, surviving spouses and adult children may qualify to file a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one died from mesothelioma cancer or asbestos lung cancer. 

These claims may help families recover compensation for: 

• Medical expenses 
• Funeral and burial costs 
• Loss of financial support 
• Loss of companionship and guidance 

If a loved one worked around asbestos and later developed an asbestos-related disease, it may still be possible to pursue a claim on their behalf. 

What Are Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust Claims?

In addition to filing a lawsuit, many workers and families may qualify to file claims with asbestos bankruptcy trusts. 

Over the years, numerous asbestos manufacturers filed for bankruptcy. As part of the bankruptcy process, these companies were required to establish trust funds to compensate victims of asbestos exposure. 

These trusts now contain billions of dollars set aside for workers and families affected by asbestos-related diseases. 

In many cases, a worker or family may be able to: 

• File a lawsuit against responsible companies, and 
• File claims with one or more asbestos bankruptcy trusts 

An experienced asbestos attorney can determine which trust claims or lawsuits may apply to your case. 

How Much Does It Cost to File an Asbestos Lawsuit?

Our law firm, Hissey Mulderig & Friend, handles asbestos cases on a contingency fee basis. 

This means that: 

• There are no upfront costs 
• You pay no legal fees out of pocket 
• The firm only gets paid if it successfully recovers compensation for you 

This allows workers and families to pursue their claims without taking on additional financial risk. We belive that financial considerations should never prevent families that have been harmed by asbestos from receiving effective legal counsel.
