Dennis, a lifelong electrician and resident of Chicago’s South Side, spent years servicing industrial sites across Illinois in the 1960s and 70s. During this time, he came into contact with many different products that contained asbestos.
After being diagnosed with mesothelioma, Dennis and his wife Maureen reached out to our firm for help. Our Chicago asbestos attorneys were able to secure compensation that helped pay for his treatments and other expenses.
Today, Dennis and Maureen feel like they have a new grasp on life. He is back to doing many of the things he loves — and his latest scans have shown no new cancer growth.
Chicagoan David “SuperDad” Dioguardi, a loving husband and father of 9 children, battled mesothelioma from September 2011 until his passing in 2016. The nickname “SuperDad” was born when David’s oldest daughter gave him a Superman cape, which he hung over his hospital bed while undergoing surgery.
David, a Chicago police officer, also worked as a carpenter for a construction company, where he was first exposed to asbestos. Before he passed away, he and his wife Eileen worked with our mesothelioma lawyers in Chicago to file a lawsuit for compensation.
“Simmons Hanly Conroy is the best,” said Eileen. “We never had to worry about going to see them, they always came to us. They’re the most professional lawyers we’ve ever dealt with.”
