Jessica was newly married and just 32 years old when she was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer her doctor had never seen before.
Determined to fight for her future and fulfill her dream of becoming a mother, Jessica underwent an intensive treatment known as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which combines surgery with chemotherapy.
She reached out to our Springfield mesothelioma lawyers for help covering the cost of her treatment and holding the companies responsible for her asbestos exposure accountable. We were able to secure the compensation she deserved.
“It’s expensive being sick, especially with this disease,” said Jessica. “You’re going to be traveling to specialists, you’re going to be using a lot of your monetary resources for that, and health care is expensive.”
For nearly 40 years, Larry worked as a union steamfitter for Local 353. He was repeatedly exposed to asbestos in gaskets, pipe coverings, insulation, and other products found at job sites throughout Illinois.
After retiring, Larry began to have trouble breathing. Doctors found fluid in his lungs, and he was eventually diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma.
Larry had an active lifestyle, playing golf, going on walks with his wife, and spending time with his children and grandchildren — until his diagnosis. He underwent chemotherapy to fight back against this aggressive cancer.
Larry and his family turned to our Illinois mesothelioma lawyers for help filing a lawsuit against the companies responsible for his illness. We were able to secure a meaningful settlement on their behalf.
