Filing a Mesothelioma Lawsuit

There is no financial risk on your part in filing a lawsuit. Simmons Hanly Conroy takes clients on a “contingency” basis. This means that we will only collect a fee if and when you collect a settlement.

The minute you contact us, we will begin examining your asbestos claim at no cost to you or your family. An investigator or attorney will call or visit you to learn more about you, your family and work history. After we have sufficient information, we decide if we can recommend filing a lawsuit. This is of no financial cost to you. Nor does it obligate you to hire us.

While each case is unique, the law imposes time limits on how long you can wait to file a lung cancer or asbestos-related disease lawsuit. Once these deadlines pass, it’s too late to file. These are called “statutes of limitations.” In other words, you have only a certain amount of time after a diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease is made to file an asbestos claim. Because of this, we advise you to contact us as soon as possible so we can evaluate your case for you.

It depends. We prepare every case as if we are going to trial. However, most cases settle out of court without going through a trial. In the event that a trial does occur, our attorneys are trained to make this process as easy on you and your family as possible.

Simmons Hanly Conroy is nationwide with five offices from coast to coast and throughout the Midwest. We have represented individuals and families affected by mesothelioma and asbestos from all across the country, recovering compensation on their behalf in multiple jurisdictions. We regularly travel to our clients, no matter where they are, so they do not have to leave their home town during the investigation process. We are also able to conduct meetings virtually online.

No. Class action lawsuits are resolved for scenarios in which a group of individuals are injured in substantially the same manner. Since asbestos-related diseases manifest themselves differently in each affected individual, it is our belief that such claims are not proper for class actions. We handle each case on an individual basis so that you receive the settlement that you deserve.

Most likely not. Our attorneys and investigators will travel to meet with you at a location of your choosing. Though we cannot guarantee that you will not have to travel at some point during your case, it is unlikely you will need to leave the area where you live because a significant amount of work can be successfully completed online.

Mesothelioma and lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure represent a very challenging area of law. It’s a rare cancer and only a few medical experts specialize in its treatment. To ensure the best care, most people prefer to see the doctor who is a mesothelioma specialist. It is the same for filing a mesothelioma lawsuit. To ensure the best legal care, it’s imperative to choose an attorney who has an established track record of success in mesothelioma and asbestos litigation.

As a nationwide firm with multiple offices throughout the country, Simmons Hanly Conroy has helped thousands of individuals and families from across the country with their mesothelioma cases and recovered millions of dollars in compensation on their behalf in multiple state and federal jurisdictions.

Individual results vary depending on your unique circumstances and our past results are not a guarantee of any future results related to your potential case. Call us today to speak with someone about your potential case and its value.
