Baton Rouge 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 7,750 families affected by asbestos exposure nationwide
  • Secure more than $9.9 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.

You may be eligible for compensation in multiple ways, and many of these options do not require you to go to court:

  • Asbestos Trust Funds: An estimated $30 billion has been set aside by asbestos companies to pay people who have developed asbestos-related diseases.
  • Mesothelioma Lawsuit: Most mesothelioma lawsuits are settled out of court, though our mesothelioma attorneys in Baton Rouge are prepared to present your case in trial if needed. Families can receive significant amounts of compensation from settlements.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefits: Veterans with mesothelioma may be able to access medical and financial benefits through the VA. We have VA-accredited mesothelioma attorneys on staff who can help veterans prepare their VA claims to access the benefits they are owed.

You’ll have an entire legal team on your side, with a senior partner at the firm, several experienced attorneys, paralegals, medical staff, and investigators, so you get the personalized care and attention you deserve.

Statute of Limitations

Louisiana has a unique set of laws called statutes of limitations that restrict the amount of time mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a claim.

For this reason, it’s important to contact asbestos lawyers in Louisiana as soon as possible after your diagnosis.

Ira’s Story

After serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, Ira began working as a phone installer and cable splicer. During work, he was unknowingly exposed to asbestos, and after turning 91, he began to have trouble breathing due to fluid in his lungs.

Because of his age, Ira’s doctor decided against doing a biopsy to check for pleural mesothelioma. Without a formal diagnosis, his case was dismissed by other Louisiana mesothelioma law firms.

Despite this, our Baton Route asbestos attorneys chose to fight on his behalf. We were able to secure compensation for Ira and his wife Shirley, without them going to trial.
