Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyer
Virginia has a rich history of shipbuilding and manufacturing—industries that heavily used asbestos. Although these businesses knew for decades that asbestos exposure could cause lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma, they failed to warn workers. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, contact a Virginia mesothelioma lawyer at the Lanier Law Firm immediately to learn how you could recover significant compensation.

How Can the Virginia Mesothelioma Lawyers at the Lanier Law Firm Help?
Mesothelioma is a devastating illness with an average life expectancy of less than a year. These tragic cases could have been prevented if the companies that mined, processed, and used asbestos had warned workers, provided workers with adequate protection while handling asbestos, or used alternative materials. Unfortunately, these companies routinely prioritized profits over worker safety.
As a result, thousands of Virginians have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, with 442 new cases and 350 deaths from 2016 to 2020 alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is in addition to the thousands of cases of asbestosis and lung cancer diagnosed during the same period.
The conduct of these businesses is inexcusable. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness or your loved one has passed away from one of these devastating diseases, you may have grounds to file a mesothelioma claim. A Virginia mesothelioma attorney at the Lanier Law Firm can help.
