Filing Mesothelioma Claims in Texas

Our mesothelioma attorneys in Texas are prepared to help you understand the lawsuit process and guide you through the legal system. We have more than 60 mesothelioma attorneys at our firm who focus solely on helping people like you.

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 an Asbestos Lawsuit in Texas

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict how long mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a lawsuit. In Texas, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is 2 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one.

It’s important to contact our asbestos lawyers in Texas as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance to take action.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Texas

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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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.

Frank’s Story

On December 7, 1941, Frank Curre was serving in the U.S. Navy when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Exactly 70 years later, he passed away from mesothelioma.

Frank was just 17 years old when he joined the U.S. Navy and was unknowingly exposed to asbestos. Back in Texas after serving, he suffered exposure once again as a laborer, machine operator, pressman, and machinist for a daily newspaper.

When Frank was diagnosed with mesothelioma decades later, he worked with our lawyers to file a Texas asbestos lawsuit against the companies responsible for his exposure. Our team is proud to work with individuals like Frank to secure the justice they deserve.

Jim’s Story

From 1973 to 1993, Jim worked on U.S. Navy ships as a boiler technician, including the USS Independence, USS Truckee, and USS Vulcan.

Unfortunately, much of the machinery he worked with contained asbestos fibers, and Jim was diagnosed with mesothelioma more than 25 years after completing his service.

When medical bills began to pile up, Jim and his wife Peggy decided to reach out to our Texas mesothelioma lawyers for help. Our team guided them through the mesothelioma lawsuit process and secured much-needed compensation for treatment costs, lost wages, and more.

Mesothelioma Lawyer in Texas FAQs

What is a Texas mesothelioma lawsuit?

Texas mesothelioma lawsuits are 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.
