Steven “Joe” Aaron, a skilled mechanic, was exposed to asbestos while working on vehicles with parts made by Ford Motor Company. Decades after he was first exposed to these parts, Joe found out he had mesothelioma. He was only 65 years old.
As medical bills started to pile up, Joe and his wife Karen reached out to our New Orleans mesothelioma lawyers for help.
Family has always been at the center of Joe’s life. When a jury awarded him a verdict that would support his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren for years to come, he was overjoyed. However, no amount of compensation could make up for the loss of his health.
“When you know this could have been prevented, it makes things just that much harder to bear,” Karen said. “No one should have to endure the pain of a mesothelioma diagnosis.”
As a young man, Henry spent years working alongside his father as a longshoreman in New Orleans. He often unloaded cargo, including burlap bags of asbestos that often ripped open and released the dust into the air.
Henry went on to join the U.S. Air Force and become a successful chiropractor. After retiring, he cherished spending time with his wife Rosalie and their eight grandchildren. However, an unexpected mesothelioma diagnosis turned his life upside-down.
“I was known as the official driver for the grandkids, but grandpa can’t do that anymore,” said Henry. “You can’t overpower this disease by thinking you can do things that you used to do. It takes a toll on the body.”
With the help of our mesothelioma lawyers in New Orleans, Henry was able to hold the employers who exposed him to asbestos accountable and provide his family with financial security.
As a consultant for companies that overhauled large industrial sites, Dennis always prioritized the safety of the workers who were part of his projects. However, he didn’t realize that the companies he worked for regularly placed him in harm’s way by exposing him to asbestos.
In 2018, Dennis began experiencing rib and arm pain. He rushed to the emergency room and, within a few weeks, received a pleural mesothelioma diagnosis. Soon after, he reached out to our New Orleans asbestos attorneys for help.
“Finding out he had mesothelioma that could have been prevented by better safety standards made him livid,” said Partner Melissa Crowe Schopfer, who worked on Dennis’ case.
Before he passed away, our team helped Dennis hold his employers accountable for his illness and secured significant compensation on behalf of his family.
