Your legal team can pursue mesothelioma compensation in several ways:

Asbestos Trust Fund Claims: Over $30 billion is estimated to still be available in asbestos trust funds for mesothelioma victims and their families — and you don’t have to step foot in court to get it.
Mesothelioma Lawsuits: Filing a lawsuit can secure significant compensation from the companies responsible for your asbestos exposure and illness.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Indiana

During the 20th century, more than 1 million U.S. workers were exposed to asbestos, a dangerous mineral that can cause the cancer mesothelioma, and many face serious health risks to this day.

Quick Facts About Asbestos

Asbestos is a natural mineral that is durable and resistant to heat
Over 3,000 household and industrial products contained asbestos, including roofing shingles, talcum powder, automobile brakes, insulation, boilers, and more
Multiple industries, like manufacturing, steel working, and shipbuilding, used asbestos
Inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma to develop 10-50 years after initial exposure
Secondary exposure occurs when asbestos is brought home on a worker’s clothes, skin, or hair, exposing others indirectly

Some job sites, homes, and older buildings in Indiana may still contain asbestos, putting workers and residents at risk of exposure even today.

What If I Don’t Know How I Was Exposed?

Our knowledgeable Indiana mesothelioma attorneys have helped many past clients identify where they were exposed to asbestos and which companies may be responsible.

Over the past two decades, we’ve gathered evidence on thousands of Indiana job sites where asbestos was used. It’s possible we’ve already represented someone who worked at the same spot as you.

Let us put our experience to work for your family. Call (800) 326-8900 now to get started for free.

Our Mesothelioma Clients in Indiana

Every person diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease has a unique story. Here at Simmons Hanly Conroy, we believe there is power in sharing those stories.

Our lawyers have helped many people over the decades secure mesothelioma compensation. We are honored to have been able to make a significant difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

As you learn about our clients’ stories, please understand that recovery results vary. No two stories and no two cases are exactly alike. Each mesothelioma case reflects the unique parts of each person’s story.

Smoky’s Story

After serving in the U.S. Army, Smoky joined the Heat & Frost Insulators Local 37 in Evansville, Indiana. On the job, he was regularly exposed to asbestos in insulation materials — but nobody ever warned him about the risks.

After he retired, Smoky should’ve been able to spend his golden years with loved ones. Instead, he was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma. He passed away just a few weeks later.

Devastated, Smoky’s son Jeff reached out to our Indiana mesothelioma lawyers for help seeking justice. Because asbestos companies knew the dangers of their products, we can hold them accountable for not warning workers like Smoky about the risks.

“My dad left my life earlier than he should have,” said Jeff. “With prior knowledge about asbestos, he could have protected himself and lived longer with us.”

Hear His Story

Roby’s Story

Roby Whittington dedicated over 30 years of his life to the U.S. Steel plant in Gary, Indiana. As a steelworker, he was often surrounded by materials containing asbestos, including insulation and protective equipment.

However, the impact of Roby’s asbestos exposure didn’t become apparent until over 25 years later, when he was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the age of 70. As his health declined, he contacted our Indiana mesothelioma attorneys for help.

“Roby worked hard and provided for his family and put in an honest day’s work,” said Partner Perry Browder, who oversaw the case. “U.S. Steel, on the other hand, treated him like he was a resource — no different than coal or iron. They poisoned him. People to this day are still getting sick and dying of mesothelioma from exposures they had 30, 40, 50 years ago.”

Through our dedicated efforts, our Indiana mesothelioma lawyers were able to secure a meaningful verdict for the Whittington family.

Mesothelioma Attorney in Indiana FAQs

What is an Indiana mesothelioma lawsuit?

An Indiana mesothelioma lawsuit is a type of product liability claim against the companies that made or used the asbestos products a mesothelioma patient was exposed to.

Since many companies knowingly hid the dangers of asbestos from their employees and consumers, victims may be able to hold asbestos companies accountable and pursue compensation for injuries they suffered as a result of the companies’ products.
