Client Testimonial

Jimmy’s Story

For over 50 years, Jimmy traveled the world producing shows for music legends. During his time on the road, he was exposed to asbestos while handling studio equipment.

After being diagnosed with mesothelioma decades later, Jimmy reached out to our firm for help. We were able to secure the compensation he deserved.

“One check showed up, and then another check showed up, and then another, and they’re still coming in now,” expressed Jimmy. “I know my wife will be taken care of for the rest of her life after I’m gone.”

Asbestos & Ovarian Cancer

Studies have now found considerable links between asbestos exposure and ovarian cancer, suggesting women who have been exposed to asbestos are 1.77 times more likely than those not exposed to develop the deadly disease.
