40 Years of Representing Victims Of Mesothelioma And Asbestos Exposure

The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is a naturally-occuring, fibrous mineral. Asbestos was used for decades in thousands of products including automotive parts, textiles, insulation, in places such as factories, naval ships and shipyards, and home and commercial construction. It was known as a hazard to health as early as the 1930s but was widely continued to be used for the decades that followed.

When asbestos fibers are disturbed, they become airbone, resulting in inhalation or ingestion. The chance of getting an asbestos-related disease depends on two main risk factors – the concentration of asbestos that was inhaled and the duration of the exposure. The more asbestos that is inhaled, the greater the risk of contracting an asbestos-related disease, such as mesothelioma or lung cancer. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs caused by exposure to asbestos.

Over 40 Years of Experience Fighting for Victims of Asbestos Exposure

At Rose, Klein & Marias LLP, we have been at the forefront of the fight against asbestos manufacturers for over 40 years. In 1980, Rose, Klein & Marias’ own Robert Steinberg tried the first successful case against asbestos manufacturers in the State of California. Mr. Steinberg’s client, Richard Hogard, received a jury verdict of $1,200,000, which paved the way for others exposed to asbestos to bring lawsuits in California against asbestos manufacturers and distributors.

Our team has recovered more than $750 million for our asbestos clients. Contact our law firm today to schedule a convenient appointment with a skilled mesothelioma attorney.

We can help you obtain compensation for on-the-job injuries from the state’s workers’ compensation system. Additionally, we will file a third-party mesothelioma lawsuit against a party other than your employer for exposures contributing to your diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease. The fact is that manufacturers of asbestos, products and building materials, distributors of products, and owners of work sites are potentially responsible parties. You can trust Rose, Klein & Marias LLP, to include all potentially responsible parties in your claim and pursue any and all possible compensation.
