Columbia 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 Columbia 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.

Fred, a Simmons Hanly Conroy client

Fred’s Story

Fred spent years raising his family in South Carolina, where he taught at local schools and served as a deacon at his church. After retiring, however, he developed a cough and congestion that wouldn’t go away.

When doctors diagnosed him with pleural mesothelioma, Fred and his family were stunned. They soon learned the disease was caused by asbestos, which Fred had been exposed to while working on old cars and during his service in the U.S. Air Force.

The family contacted our Columbia mesothelioma lawyers for help navigating the legal process and seeking compensation from the asbestos companies responsible for his illness.

Without Simmons Hanly Conroy helping us, we would have been lost,” said Fred’s son Mike. “The money they secured gave my dad peace of mind.”
