Our Florida mesothelioma lawyers file talc and asbestos lawsuits for patients diagnosed with lung cancer. 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.
Talc and Asbestos Manufacturers Failed to Warn Floridians of Danger
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 settlement claims.)
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 illness. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.
