Holding corporate wrongdoers accountable helps protect future generations.

At Simmons Hanly Conroy, we understand that filing an asbestos lawsuit is not a simple process, even under the best of conditions. While no amount of compensation can buy you a medical miracle, a lawsuit can help you afford the mesothelioma treatments you need and help eliminate the worry that medical costs are draining your family budget.

Our asbestos attorneys work within a small group we call a Trial Team. This ensures you will work with the same, small group of people on your case. This structure allows us to manage individual cases with a high level of personal attention while leveraging significant resources needed to bring corporate wrongdoers to justice.

What to Expect

Filing an asbestos lawsuit can hold offending companies and organizations accountable. The dangers of asbestos have been known for over a century by both manufacturing and insurance companies. It is well documented that these companies knew decades ago that mesothelioma and lung cancer were directly related to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Forcing them to compensate families will help them learn they can no longer put profits over people.

In 1973, an industry expert predicted that 25,000 employees would die of asbestos-related diseases but luckily for them, “very few people had been paying attention,” even despite the recent negative press. In 1977, the insurance industry unanimously decided against admitting liability regarding asbestosis. Other such events occurred into the 1980s and 1990s.

Even now, despite widespread belief to the contrary, asbestos is still not banned and remains legal well into the 21st century.
