Burlene, Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Burlene’s Story

Burlene was a loving wife, mother to three children, and a talented musician. Yet when she should have been enjoying her golden years alongside her loved ones, Burlene was diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Our Missouri mesothelioma attorneys were able to help her family identify how she had been exposed to asbestos decades earlier, and we fought to hold the companies responsible for her illness accountable.

We also secured compensation for Burlene and her family, ensuring that she would receive the medical care and support she deserved during her final years.

“I filed the mesothelioma lawsuit because I was not sure what my mother was going to need, and we wanted to make sure that my father had the financial backing to do whatever was going to make my mom’s end of life the most comfortable,” said her daughter Debbie.

Brenda, Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Brenda’s Story

Brenda first noticed something was wrong when she began experiencing abdominal swelling and difficulty breathing. Her doctor ordered a CT scan, which revealed a mass in her abdomen. Further testing confirmed a diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma.

Determined to face the disease head-on, Brenda sought out a specialist and underwent both surgery and chemotherapy. Throughout her treatments, she maintained a positive outlook and leaned on her family for strength and support.

Brenda also contacted our asbestos lawyers in Missouri, and we were able to secure compensation to help with the cost of her care.

Despite her diagnosis, Brenda committed to living each day to the fullest by spending time in her garden, volunteering in her community, and cherishing every moment with her loved ones.

Julie, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Julie’s Story

Julie was first exposed to asbestos when she was a child. Her father, an electrician, unknowingly came home from work each day with microscopic fibers still clinging to his clothes.

Decades later, Julie began experiencing digestive issues. What doctors initially thought was ovarian cancer turned out to be peritoneal mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer in the lining of her abdomen.

Determined to fight back, Julie contacted our Missouri mesothelioma attorneys for help. The asbestos settlements we secured helped her afford multiple surgeries — and today, she’s a long-term survivor.

“The compensation I received allowed me to get the treatments I needed without the fear of losing my home,” said Julie.
