Why you are entitled to compensation
Faced with this evidence, the asbestos industry did not warn users of the health risks, or take steps to prevent harm. Instead, they covered up this evidence and continued with business as usual. Scientific reports were edited and modified, test results were altered or destroyed, and funding for this research was stopped. The asbestos industry then embarked on a campaign to keep the information from reaching the general public. Manufacturers of safer, non-asbestos insulations were bought out by the asbestos industry giants, stifling competition and safeguarding the cover-up.
Through the tireless efforts of some of those pioneering scientists, the United States government finally realized the hazards of asbestos, and began a slow campaign to curtail, and ultimately, prohibit, its use in the United States
What we can do for you
Our firm is experienced in helping victims of asbestos related mesothelioma and lung cancer realize the appropriate compensation with as little inconvenience on the part of the victim and their family as possible.
When to contact us:
It is important that you contact us as soon as possible upon learning that you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related cancer for three reasons. First, all states have a statute of limitations in which you must file your case, which often starts running at the time of diagnosis. Your case needs to be filed before that time has expired otherwise compensation may be barred. Second, a case in which the plaintiff is alive is often set for trial more quickly because those cases get priority in most jurisdictions. Third, the person with the disease is usually the best person to establish their exposure history, which is often essential information for a successful settlement.
How your case will typically develop:
A Coady Law Firm attorney will meet with you for an initial interview to discuss your background information, exposure history, medical history, and to answer any questions you may have. We will then set the best course to help you and your family, and begin your case. Initial settlement proceeds can generally be expected within 60 days.
Affording an attorney:
We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means that we do not receive any fees until and unless you recover compensation. If for some reason we are unable to recover any compensation for you, there is no obligation for you to reimburse expenses or pay any legal fees. It is a no-risk arrangement for you.
