We are California mesothelioma attorneys with years of success recovering millions for San Diego mesothelioma patients and their families. Because San Diego has been such a hub of activity for the United States Navy, many people who were exposed to asbestos at San Diego ship repair facilities and Naval bases have been afflicted with mesothelioma.
Our attorneys have been representing mesothelioma patients for 25 years.
We have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and jury awards for our clients in asbestos lawsuits.
San Diego sites where our clients have worked include the 32nd Street Naval Base, North Island Naval Air Station, Campbell Industries Shipyard, San Diego Marine Shipyard, Triple A Shipyard, National Steel Shipyard, San Diego County Courthouse, the San Diego County Jail, San Diego Juvenile Courthouse Complex, San Diego County Mental Health Center, University of San Diego Hospital, San Diego Health Services Complex, among many others. We have a vast library of information about these and many other San Diego sites, that includes information about the types and brands of asbestos products used at each location.
We represent mesothelioma patients and their families. Mesothelioma is a very serious form of cancer, and families who have been touched by mesothelioma have many challenges ahead. Whatever treatment options a mesothelioma patient chooses, treatment is expensive. A mesothelioma diagnosis can often mean financial hardship without some kind of legal assistance. Our experienced asbestos attorneys can help provide fast compensation to San Diego area families impacted by mesothelioma. The financial resources we make available allow our clients to focus on fighting mesothelioma, beating the odds, and enjoying time with their loved ones.
Every mesothelioma patient’s exposure to asbestos is different. Some, such as insulators, shipyard workers, or boilermakers, had jobs that obviously involved working with asbestos. However, many mesothelioma victims we have represented have not known how or when they were exposed to asbestos until our lawyers completed an extensive asbestos exposure investigation.
By getting to know each client as an individual, and by learning each client’s personal story of asbestos exposure, we can show which asbestos companies were responsible for causing the mesothelioma. As lawyers for people with mesothelioma we hold the asbestos industry accountable for the damage their asbestos products have done. Many people with mesothelioma who first contact us mistakenly believe the asbestos companies did not know their asbestos products caused cancer until the 1970's or 1980's.
This is unfortunately not true. Documents our lawyers have obtained in litigation show that manufacturers of asbestos products knew the workers in their own factories were getting asbestos related lung cancer and mesothelioma from asbestos as early as the 1930's and 1940's, yet they hid this knowledge. It is a modern tragedy that most cases of mesothelioma and other asbestos cancers could and should have been prevented. While we cannot undo the harm that asbestos has caused, our mission as mesothelioma attorneys is to hold the wrongdoers accountable, and to recover the maximum compensation possible for our mesothelioma clients.
Our lawyers represent not only people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, but also spouses, sons and daughters of people who have died from mesothelioma. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer, please contact us as soon as possible. One of our lawyers will fly to your home within a few days. In most cases, you will not have to travel or even appear in court. Our lawyers will investigate your case, meet with you and take video depositions. You will not have to pay any attorneys’ fees unless we obtain a financial settlement for you. Call our toll-free number or fill out the contact form on this page to consult with an experienced asbestos lawyer at no cost about financial assistance available to mesothelioma patients.
