Lombard 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 Lombard 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.

David, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

David’s Story

David was a devoted husband, father of 9, and longtime Illinois police officer whose life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Years earlier, David had been employed as a carpenter for a construction company. He regularly worked around asbestos-containing products, unaware of the impact they would have on his health.

As David bravely fought back and underwent treatment for his cancer, he turned to our Illinois mesothelioma attorneys for help pursuing compensation from the companies responsible for his exposure.

Simmons Hanly Conroy is the best,” said David’s wife 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.”
