Our previous experience representing mesothelioma victims in Illinois is important because it means we are familiar with Illinois job sites where asbestos exposure occurred.
Asbestos is a deadly mineral that has been used in thousands of products in multiple industries including manufacturing, steel working, shipbuilding and more. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they increase a person’s risk of contracting an asbestos-related disease like mesothelioma.
Our experienced attorneys have helped our past clients identify their asbestos exposures and they are ready to help you and your family as well.
