How Can an Alabama Mesothelioma Attorney at the Lanier Law Firm Help?

States We Serve

Mesothelioma is a latent disease that develops 10 to 60 years after asbestos exposure. Some people develop asbestosis or lung cancer in addition to or instead of mesothelioma. These conditions also take years or decades to develop.

Although asbestos was primarily used during the 1900s, Alabama workers still feel the effects today. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 189 Alabamians were diagnosed with mesothelioma from 2016 to 2020, and 144 died.

Asbestos companies knew asbestos was dangerous, but instead of warning workers and the public, they took advantage of the mesothelioma latency period and actively concealed the dangers. This cover-up was made easier because workers who inhale or ingest asbestos typically do not experience any symptoms or warning signs of exposure.

If you have received a mesothelioma cancer diagnosis or lost a loved one to the disease, you know how devastating this illness is and how wrong these businesses were to keep this information hidden from the public. Our Alabama mesothelioma lawyers can help you hold them accountable.

Our Consistent Record of Successful Results

The most important measure of a law firm’s effectiveness is its track record of results. We consistently achieve outstanding settlements and verdicts for our clients.

In a historic case, our law firm won a $115 million jury verdict against The Carborundum Company on behalf of 21 steelworkers who worked at U.S. Steel in Birmingham. This verdict included $100 million in punitive damages.

In this case, the Carborundum Company had manufactured an asbestos-tainted grinding wheel that released asbestos while our clients’ faces were within inches of it. It is the first jury award against a grinding wheel manufacturer.

Our Alabama mesothelioma lawyers have also achieved the following results while representing individual mesothelioma plaintiffs:

$1.3 million recovery for a laborer and welder who worked at various Alabama job sites
$1.1 million recovery for an Alabama shipyard tile setter
$1.116 million recovery for an Alabama veteran who was exposed to asbestos while serving our country at multiple Alabama military installations and later while working at various Alabama sites as an electrician

Client Testimonials

The Lanier Law firm has been such a blessing for our family. My mother passed away from mesothelioma. The many settlements my father received allowed him to live comfortably until he passed away at 95. The Lanier law firm was very professional and always answered our questions promptly. I am very grateful for all of their guidance. I would recommend using their services if one of your loved ones is in this same situation.
