Frequently asked Questions
-
Asbestos can be found in a variety of locations and products, from insulation and construction materials to everyday household items like talc-based baby powders. Some high-risk areas include older public buildings and schools, industrial facilities, oil refineries, and sites along the city’s “chemical corridor.”
-
If your loved one passed away from mesothelioma or other asbestos-related health condition, the surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for burial and funeral costs, medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses in a wrongful death claim. Our firm has proven results in asbestos claims after death to pursue a just outcome for your family, freeing you and your loved ones to grieve in peace during this stressful time.
-
For decades, asbestos manufacturers and companies have been held responsible for the widespread harm caused by asbestos-containing materials. Many of these entities filed for bankruptcy due to an overwhelming amount of lawsuits, leading to the establishment of trust funds to provide compensation to victims and their loved ones.
-
The latency period for asbestos-related diseases is very long. Because symptoms can take 20 to 50 years to develop, many victims are diagnosed decades after the initial exposure, leading to significant barriers to accessing the specialized care they need.
At KRW Lawyers, we understand the tremendous hardships that come with serious and unexpected diagnoses. Our firm is committed to alleviating stress during this difficult time by advocating for the financial relief you need to focus on your health.
-
If you were harmed by asbestos exposure, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation. To have a valid claim, you must establish the following:
- Proof of your illness. This typically involves obtaining imaging scans, medical records, and other strong evidence to establish your specific health condition.
- The connection between your illness and asbestos exposure. Some examples of key evidence include employment records, witness statements, and expert testimonies from healthcare personnel.
Our attorneys have a deep understanding of these legal processes and requirements to build a compelling case and determine the best path for recovering maximum compensation.
-
From colorful row houses to Classic Revival mansions, the Garden District is home to beautiful historic properties and unique architecture. However, many older properties in this area pose a dangerous risk of asbestos exposure. Many homes built before the 1980s still contain asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, plaster, and roofing materials. If you or a loved one experienced adverse health outcomes after being exposed to asbestos in your home, our firm can work diligently to hold responsible parties accountable.
-
If you’re experiencing breathing issues after demolition jobs in the Lower Ninth Ward, it’s important to seek medical care as soon as possible. Many demo jobs disturbed asbestos-laden debris after Hurricane Katrina, leading to significant health impacts for workers and civilians alike. Our attorneys can thoroughly investigate your employment and medical records to help you file a claim for compensation.

“I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with my attorney, Josh and his paralegal Janelle. They were communicative and moved quickly to get my settlement after my accident. I was told by another law firm that I did not have a case. Josh went above and beyond to help me. Janell stayed in touch with me throughout the process and answered any questions I have had. They are very familiar with workman’s comp as well. I would highly recommend them!”- Brittany E. (Google Review)

I had an excellent experience working with KRW Law Firm after my car accident. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a stressful time.
What stood out most was their dedication and attention to detail. They handled everything efficiently and kept me informed throughout the entire case. I never felt like just another client—they truly made me feel supported and prioritized.
Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my case was settled successfully, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outcome.

“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.
