Our Florida mesothelioma lawyers file talc and asbestos lawsuits for individuals diagnosed with cancer of the lungs. Florida mesothelioma lawsuits claim the manufacturers of common talcum powder and asbestos products failed to warn of the cancer risk.
As such, FL talc or asbestos handlers suffering from mesothelioma may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Florida Mesothelioma Lawyers Advocate for Talc and Asbestos Victims
Our team of Florida mesothelioma attorneys have represented thousands of victims of toxic products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from talc and asbestos manufacturers and their affiliates, and do not file claims against our clients’ doctors or employers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified mesothelioma claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Florida talc and asbestos victims can make for mesothelioma compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. (Follow this link for our latest information on mesothelioma.)
Our Florida mesothelioma lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm the use of a qualified talcum powder or asbestos product and diagnosis of a related cancer. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Florida Talcum Powder and Asbestos Lawyers File Cancer Lawsuits
11th Circuit Mesothelioma Claims in Florida
Florida is part of the Eleventh Circuit of the federal court system, and individual mesothelioma lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Talcum powder and asbestos appeals are heard by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal mesothelioma lawsuits filed in Florida may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a talc/asbestos consolidation order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 11th Circuit mesothelioma compensation.)
Florida State Mesothelioma Claims
Florida mesothelioma lawyers can also file talc and asbestos lawsuits in the State’s county courts (FL Courts Website). The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure set forth the State’s procedural law for lung cancer claims.
The State of Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Florida mesothelioma lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by talc or asbestos manufacturers provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the respiratory victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
