Common Asbestos Cases We Handle
Asbestos in Baby Powder
Many people are unaware that asbestos can find its way into seemingly harmless household products, posing serious health risks to children and adults alike. Asbestos contamination in talc-based baby powders is a significant concern that has led to widespread recalls and lawsuits. The thought of unknowingly exposing an infant to this toxic mineral is understandably alarming and distressing, making it imperative for families to exercise caution and take legal action as soon as possible if they suspect a loved one was affected.
Asbestos Claims After Death
Losing a loved one to asbestos exposure can be heartbreaking, especially when the death results from a preventable disease like mesothelioma. In addition to the emotional devastation, families are often left facing tremendous economic hardships. In these tragic cases, seeking justice in a wrongful death claim can offer a sense of closure and financial relief for funeral and burial costs, medical debt, lost income, and other losses. We have proven experience in these claims to pursue the favorable outcome your family deserves.
Frequently asked Questions
-
Asbestos trust funds are established to provide fair compensation for victims of asbestos exposure. Many asbestos manufacturers and companies were required to establish trust funds after attempting to evade liability by filing for bankruptcy. These special accounts are intended to provide financial support to those who developed asbestos-related illnesses by preserving a mechanism for compensation.
To seek compensation from asbestos trust funds, individuals must file a claim with the trust tied to the responsible company. Administrators will then review the claim to determine potential eligibility and payout amounts. Our attorneys are well-versed in these legal nuances to help you navigate the process efficiently while protecting your rights at every turn.

Importance of Working with an Asbestos Lawyer
Seeking justice after asbestos exposure can be daunting, but you don’t have to fight this battle alone. In many cases, working with a skilled asbestos lawyer can mean the difference between recovering a full settlement and walking away empty-handed.
Some important reasons to hire a qualified attorney include:
- Building a case. Asbestos cases often involve complex legal and medical issues. An asbestos lawyer will have the necessary knowledge and resources to strengthen your claim, from accessing medical databases and industry records to consulting relevant experts like healthcare professionals, investigators, and researchers.
- Proving liability. Establishing a direct link between asbestos-related conditions and exposure is critical to recovering damages in a lawsuit. An attorney will have a deep understanding of the legal elements involved in this process to identify negligent parties, establish liability, and meet the burden of proof in your claim.

An experienced asbestos attorney can protect your rights against insurers and negotiate effectively on your behalf to pursue the best possible outcome in your case.
