Asbestos Lawsuit | Legal Injury Advocates

Asbestos was used in thousands of workplaces, homes, and consumer products throughout the 20th century. If you worked in any of the following industries, you may have been exposed without ever knowing it:

Construction & Demolition — insulation, floor tiles, roofing, drywall
Shipbuilding & Naval Service — pipes, boilers, engine rooms
Manufacturing & Industrial Plants — machinery, gaskets, protective equipment
Automotive — brake pads, clutch components
Military Veterans — especially Navy and Army Corps veterans

Secondary exposure is also common. Family members who washed a worker's clothes or lived near industrial sites have developed mesothelioma decades later. Because symptoms can take 10 to 60 years to appear, many people don't connect their diagnosis to past exposure. That's where we come in.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques or another asbestos-related disease you may be able to file an asbestos claim.

Not all asbestos claims follow the same road. Depending on who exposed you and whether that company still exists, your compensation may come from one of three distinct sources — and in many cases, from more than one simultaneously.

Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts

Decades of litigation forced dozens of major asbestos manufacturers into bankruptcy. As part of those proceedings, courts required these companies to establish dedicated asbestos bankruptcy trust funds — pools of money set aside specifically to compensate victims.

Today, more than $30 billion remains available across 60+ active trusts. Companies like Johns-Manville, Owens Corning, Armstrong World Industries, and W.R. Grace each established trusts after filing for bankruptcy.
What this means for you:

You can file a trust claim even if the company no longer exists
Trust claims are typically resolved faster than courtroom litigation
Many victims qualify to file against multiple trusts simultaneously
There are no juries — claims are evaluated against published criteria

Trust claims have strict deadlines and eligibility requirements. An experienced asbestos attorney will identify which trusts apply to your specific exposure history and handle the paperwork.

Claims Against Solvent Defendants

Many companies that used or sold asbestos-containing products are still in business today — and still legally liable. These solvent defendants can be sued directly in civil court.

Litigable Claims

Some asbestos cases go beyond settlement negotiations and proceed to a full jury trial. These are called litigable claims, and they're typically pursued when a defendant refuses to offer fair compensation — or when the evidence is strong enough that a jury verdict could result in significantly more.

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that is almost exclusively linked to asbestos exposure. This disease targets the protective lining surrounding the lungs (pleural mesothelioma) and the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma). Unfortunately, symptoms may not appear for 10 to 50 years after exposure, making early detection and legal action challenging without experienced legal help.

Even minimal exposure—such as fibers brought home on work clothes—can put family members at risk. The likelihood of developing mesothelioma does increase considerably with prolonged or repeated asbestos exposure.

1. Where was asbestos commonly used? +

Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was found in:

Boilers and heating vessels,
Cement pipe,
Clutch, brake, and transmission components
Conduits for electrical wire
Corrosive chemical containers
Electric motor components
Heat-protective pads
Laboratory furniture
Paper products
Pipe covering
Roofing products
Sealants and coatings
Insulation products
Textiles

These materials remain in many buildings, ships, and automobiles built before 1975.

2. What is asbestos and why is it dangerous? +

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals formerly used in construction for insulation, fire resistance, and strength. It is dangerous because when disturbed, it releases microscopic, needle-like fibers that, when inhaled, lodge deep in the lungs, causing severe diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis.

3. In what types of products can asbestos be found? +

Because of its unique properties: heat and fire resistance, high tensile strength, poor electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance, asbestos proved well suited for many uses in construction. It has been used in literally thousands of products. A partial list includes fireproofing, pipe insulation, floor tile, sheet flooring, ceiling tiles, acoustical plaster, fume hood panels, laboratory countertops, select fire-resistant siding shingles, roofing materials, brake shoes, gaskets, and construction mastics.

4. Are there any upfront costs to work with your firm? +

No. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won't pay any fees unless we win your case. Your initial consultation is also completely free.

5. What happens after I submit my initial asbestos exposure claim? +

Once you submit your details on our form:

Email Confirmation: you will receive an email letting you know we’ve received your information and that our team is beginning their review.

Next Steps: Once we have a clear picture of the facts, we will explain the status of your evaluation and whether we can move forward with a potential legal claim.

6. Can I sue for asbestos exposure? +

Yes, you can sue for asbestos exposure if it harms your health. If you are suffering the health consequences of asbestos exposure, do not wait to take legal action.

7. Will I have to appear in court? +

Most cases settle before going to trial, so you likely won't need to appear in court. If your case does go to trial, our attorneys and our co-counsel will represent you and guide you through every step.
