Our Texas mesothelioma lawyers file talc and asbestos lawsuits for individuals diagnosed with cancer of the lungs. Texas mesothelioma lawsuits claim the manufacturers of common talcum powder and asbestos products failed to warn of the cancer risk.
As such, TX talc or asbestos handlers suffering from mesothelioma may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Texas Mesothelioma Lawyers Advocate for Talc and Asbestos Victims
Our team of Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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.

Texas Talcum Powder and Asbestos Lawyers File Cancer Lawsuits
5th Circuit Mesothelioma Claims in Texas
Texas is part of the Fifth 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 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal mesothelioma lawsuits filed in Texas may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a talc/asbestos consolidation order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 5th Circuit mesothelioma compensation.)
Texas State Mesothelioma Claims
Texas mesothelioma lawyers can also file talc and asbestos lawsuits in the State’s county courts (TX Courts Website). The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for lung cancer claims.
The State of Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. Accordingly, a Texas 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).
