Akron 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 8,000 families affected by asbestos exposure nationwide
  • Secure more than $10.3 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.

Our Akron asbestos lawyers can handle every step of the legal process as we fight for justice on your behalf. There are no hourly fees or out-of-pocket costs to work with us.

Filing an Akron Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit can help you cover medical expenses and secure your family’s well-being for years to come. Our Akron mesothelioma attorneys can guide you through the legal system, making the process as easy as possible for you and 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, but our mesothelioma lawyers in Akron 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

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict the amount of time mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a claim.

In Ohio, you typically have 2 years to take legal action. It’s important to contact Ohio asbestos lawyers as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance for justice.

If you’d like to talk to an Akron mesothelioma attorney about a potential case, we can meet with you in your home, virtually, or at a location of your choosing.

Mary Jane, a Simmons Hanly Conroy patient

Mary Jane’s Story

For a year, Mary Jane experienced abdominal issues like regular bloating. While undergoing gallbladder surgery, doctors discovered she had peritoneal mesothelioma.

Determined to fight back against this disease, Mary Jane began flying back and forth from her home in Ohio to New York, where she met with mesothelioma specialists and underwent extensive treatment.

After she learned that her illness was caused by negligent asbestos companies, our Ohio mesothelioma attorneys helped Mary Jane secure compensation and justice from a lawsuit.

“You’re going to need the money for your treatment, your travel, and your follow-up scans for the rest of your life,” said Mary Jane.
