Lawyer Mesothelioma

Say the word "asbestos" and most people think you are mentioning something from the past – something that has no relevance to people today. But that perception is far from accurate. Asbestos, widely known as a carcinogen for decades, is still responsible for approximately 10,000 deaths a year in the United States alone. And due to powerful industry lobbying, the use of asbestos is still not banned in the United States. For details on what asbestos products are still manufactured and/or imported into the United States see this document from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As one of the first law firms to ever successfully win an asbestos cancer lawsuit, Baron & Budd is proud of the work we have done to expose the companies responsible for knowingly exposing innocent people to asbestos. And we are proud that, over and over again, we have been able to seek and win financial compensation for our clients, the victims of this terrible tragedy. In addition to representing people in the courtroom, we also consider it part of our duty to inform and educate the public about the dangers of asbestos. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer caused only by exposure to asbestos, we encourage you to read more about how we’ve been able to help families by bringing lawsuits against the companies that caused their asbestos exposure.
