Understanding Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the protective lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart. This disease is primarily caused by asbestos exposure, a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction, automotive, manufacturing, and shipbuilding.
- Asbestos Exposure Occurs when microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, leading to serious health complications later in life.
- The Latency Period: Mesothelioma has a long latency period and can take decades to develop after the initial asbestos exposure. This makes it challenging for victims to pinpoint the precise circumstances that led to their diagnosis.
- Victims at Risk: Mesothelioma can develop due to asbestos exposure in various settings, such as construction sites, factories, shipyards, and mines. Many victims are unknowingly exposed in their workplaces, homes, or during military service.

- Building Your Case: Utilizing our network of expert medical professionals to gather crucial evidence and documentation to support your claim.
- Securing Compensation: Negotiating with liable parties and accessing necessary funds on your behalf.
Access to Medical Exams and Compensation
Obtaining medical evidence is fundamental to building a strong asbestos claim.
- No Out-of-Pocket Costs: We can help victims access the necessary medical exams required to qualify for compensation, all at no out-of-pocket cost to you. This alleviates the financial burden and ensures you have the documentation needed for a successful legal claim.

They are very familiar with workman’s comp as well. I would highly recommend them!”- Brittany E. (Google Review)

“I was involved in an accident, and I was referred to KRW (Scott, specifically). I had never used a personal injury attorney. I never had the need to. Scott explained the entire process and walked me through it. His first-hand knowledge of insurance companies is invaluable. The insurance company made an initial offer, and he got us 6X that. Not to mention, Scott and his professional team were a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don't have to use a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'm calling KRW. No question.”- Wes M.
