  • Secure more than $10.3 billion from mesothelioma claims
  • Give our clients a powerful voice in the legal system for over 25 years

Dale, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Dale’s Story

After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Dale worked for a packing company that manufactured steam panels. At the time, he had no idea the materials he handled every day contained asbestos.

Years later, as he was enjoying his well-earned retirement, Dale was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. He decided to pursue legal action to help cover the costs of his care and protect his family’s financial future.

“We were told to start the lawsuit process right away because there are so many bills,” said Dale’s wife Betty. “Financially, you just needed to do that. And we trusted Simmons Hanly Conroy with our case.”

Our Iowa mesothelioma lawyers were able to help Dale navigate the legal process and secure the compensation he deserved during this difficult time.
