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.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in South Carolina

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 South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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.

Fred’s Story

While serving in the U.S. Air Force, Winfred “Fred” Crosby worked on jet engines that contained asbestos — but he was never warned about the health risks linked to asbestos exposure.

After his military career, Fred married his high school sweetheart, and the pair went on to have three kids. He spent the rest of his life giving back to his South Carolina community as a beloved teacher, coach, and deacon.

However, when Fred should have been enjoying a well-earned retirement, he was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. His family reached out to our South Carolina mesothelioma attorneys for help filing an asbestos claim.

“We wanted to make sure Dad’s suffering wasn’t for nothing and that Mom would be taken care of,” said his daughter Terri. “We talked to a few firms and were most comfortable with Simmons Hanly Conroy. They were a big company, but they just seemed more down-to-earth.”

Mesothelioma Lawyer in South Carolina FAQs

What is a South Carolina mesothelioma lawsuit?

A South Carolina 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.
