Each senior attorney operates within a small team of several experienced attorneys, legal staff members, and registered nurses, which ensures you’ll receive personalized attention while your case progresses.

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.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans make up 33% of all mesothelioma cases because asbestos was used across all branches of the military. VA benefits can offer victims health care and monthly compensation.

Together, your team can handle every step of the legal process on your behalf, from collecting evidence for your case to filing your claim in time.

Deadline to File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in Mississippi

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Mississippi

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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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.

Sid, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Sid’s Story

After a decades-long construction career, Sid was looking forward to spending his retirement surrounded by family in Mississippi.

However, everything changed when he developed a wheezing cough that wouldn’t go away. Within a few weeks, doctors diagnosed him with stage 3 pleural mesothelioma.

Sid worked with our Mississippi mesothelioma attorneys to file a lawsuit against the asbestos companies responsible for his illness. With his out-of-court settlement, he was able to buy land for his family.

“I would not wish this disease on anyone,” Sid said. “But I know I have shown my family how to face this thing head-on, and I am proud to have our family together. It feels good to know I could take care of my family like that.”

Mesothelioma Attorney in Mississippi FAQs

What is a Mississippi mesothelioma lawsuit?

A Mississippi 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.

Contact us now to see if you may be able to seek compensation from a Mississippi mesothelioma lawsuit.

Can you sue for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in Mississippi?

In Mississippi, you only have 3 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one to file a mesothelioma claim. Once these deadlines pass, it’s too late to take legal action for your illness.

Contact us as soon as possible. Our team can listen to what’s going on and let you know if you still have time to take legal action — even if you think the deadline may have already passed.
