Filing a Wisconsin Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Our asbestos attorneys in Wisconsin are prepared to help you understand the lawsuit process and guide you through the legal system. We have more than 60 mesothelioma lawyers 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 on Filing in Wisconsin

State laws called statutes of limitations restrict how long mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a lawsuit. In Wisconsin, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is 3 years after your diagnosis or the death of a loved one.

It’s important to contact an asbestos lawyer in Wisconsin as soon as possible, so you don’t miss your chance to take action.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Wisconsin

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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin mesothelioma attorneys have helped many 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 Wisconsin 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.

Our Mesothelioma Clients in Wisconsin

Every person diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease has a unique story. Here at Simmons Hanly Conroy, we believe there is power in sharing those stories.

Our lawyers have helped many people over the decades secure mesothelioma compensation. We are honored to have been able to make a significant difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

As you learn about our clients’ stories, please understand that recovery results vary. No two stories and no two cases are exactly alike. Each mesothelioma case reflects the unique parts of each person’s story.

Dennis’ Story

When he was just 12, Dennis began sweeping floors at his father and grandfather’s auto shop in southwestern Wisconsin. He worked in the shop for over 40 years, where he frequently handled gaskets, brake pads, clutches, and other asbestos-containing parts.

After experiencing digestive symptoms at age 52, Dennis was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma. The disease ended his career as a mechanic, and his growing medical bills, combined with the sudden loss of income, caused a lot of anxiety about finances.

At the urging of his union’s benefits administrator, Dennis called our mesothelioma attorneys in Wisconsin to explore his options. Although he expected a drawn-out process involving travel and court testimony, Dennis never had to leave his home to get the compensation he needed.

“Simmons Hanly Conroy made the legal process for my family and me very easy, and I was very comfortable,” Dennis said.

John’s Story

While in the U.S. Army, John earned a Bronze Star for his service during the Korean War. However, before and after his service, he worked at a Procter & Gamble paper facility in Wisconsin.

In his roles as a utility man and instrument technician, John repaired and maintained boilers, pumps, compressors, furnaces, steam presses, and steam pipes. These tasks repeatedly exposed him to asbestos without his knowledge.

One Thanksgiving, John began experiencing difficulty breathing and chest pains. Doctors found that he had fluid surrounding his lung, and after a biopsy, he was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma.

Because he wanted to make sure his family would be taken care of after he was gone, John contacted our Wisconsin asbestos attorneys for help filing a mesothelioma lawsuit. Our team was able to fulfill John’s final wish and provide for his family.

Ken’s Story

Ken, a union pipefitter and father of 5, was unknowingly exposed to asbestos at multiple worksites throughout his career.

Years after he retired, Ken went for a routine check-up. His doctor noticed he was having trouble breathing, and an X-ray showed fluid in his lungs. After further testing, Ken was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma.

Our Wisconsin mesothelioma lawyers helped Ken hold the asbestos companies responsible for his illness accountable.

The settlements he received enabled him and his wife to purchase their dream home, and Ken felt at peace knowing that his family would be taken care of.
