Wilmington Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma Claims

When asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they may become lodged in the lining of major organs like the lungs. These fibers can irritate healthy tissue for decades, causing mesothelioma to develop 10-50 years after exposure.

Our mesothelioma law firm has helped:

  • Over 8,900 families affected by asbestos exposure nationwide
  • Secure more than $10.6 billion from mesothelioma claims
  • Give our clients a powerful voice in the legal system for over 25 years

Companies knew the dangers when they used asbestos in their products — but they used it anyway, putting thousands at risk. We can help you hold these corporations accountable and pursue compensation for your family.

Our Wilmington asbestos lawyers can handle every step of the legal process as we fight for justice on your behalf. There are no hourly fees or out-of-pocket costs to work with us.

Filing a Wilmington Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit can help you cover medical expenses and secure your family’s well-being for years to come. Our Wilmington mesothelioma attorneys can guide you through the legal system, making the process as easy as possible for you and your family.

You may be eligible for compensation in multiple ways, and many of these options do not require you to go to court:

  • Asbestos Trust Funds: An estimated $30 billion has been set aside by asbestos companies to pay people who have developed asbestos-related diseases.
  • Mesothelioma Lawsuit: Most mesothelioma lawsuits are settled out of court, but our mesothelioma lawyers in Wilmington are prepared to present your case in trial if needed. Families can receive significant amounts of compensation from settlements.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefits: Veterans with mesothelioma may be able to access medical and financial benefits through the VA. We have VA-accredited mesothelioma attorneys on staff who can help veterans prepare their VA claims to access the benefits they are owed.

You’ll have an entire legal team on your side, with a senior partner at the firm, several experienced attorneys, paralegals, medical staff, and investigators, so you get the personalized care and attention you deserve.

Statute of Limitations

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict the amount of time mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a claim.

In Delaware, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is usually 2 years from when you were diagnosed or a loved one passed away of this cancer.

It’s important to contact Delaware asbestos lawyers as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance for justice. During a consultation, our mesothelioma lawyers in Dalton can meet with you in your home, virtually, or at a location of your choosing.

Lung X-rays

Michael’s Story

For nearly 40 years, Michael worked at a plumbing fixtures factory, where part of his job involved dusting ceramic fixtures with talc powder. However, he was unaware that the powder was contaminated with asbestos fibers.

Decades later, Michael was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. He turned to our Delaware mesothelioma lawyers for help holding the company that supplied the contaminated talc accountable.

Our team worked with medical and industrial experts to trace the asbestos fibers found in Michael’s lung tissue back to a specific mine, allowing us to build a strong case against the defendant. The jury ruled in Michael’s favor.

The result was significant compensation awarded to Michael’s family, and the largest mesothelioma verdict in Delaware against a single defendant in over a decade.
