Asbestos exposure is the ONLY cause of mesothelioma, a deadly type of cancer that affects thousands of Americans each year. The Barnes Firm’s top mesothelioma lawyers have identified the companies that were responsible for exposing innocent people to deadly asbestos fibers, and we’ll do everything in our power to hold them accountable for their negligent actions.
What you’ll get with The Barnes Firm:
Have any questions for our mesothelioma lawyers in San Francisco? The Barnes Firm is here for you.
Whether a family member is currently battling mesothelioma, or a loved one has passed away due to the deadly disease, it’s important to hold those responsible for a person’s exposure accountable for their negligent actions. The Barnes Firm has the experience you need to do this, and help your family recover the best possible result.
Once you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it’s very important to determine when and where you may have been exposed to asbestos fibers. In some cases, a worker with asbestos particles on their clothing could accidently expose their loved ones. Our San Francisco Mesothelioma Attorneys can help put the pieces together and determine when exposure occurred by looking at your family’s employment history, hobbies, and activities you were engaged in years ago. The Environmental Protection Agency has a created an asbestos page to help you better protect you and your family from accidental exposure.
Mesothelioma is a serious and life-threatening lung cancer. When you’re battling cancer, it’s important that you focus your energy and thoughts on your treatment. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor. The treatment options for mesothelioma will depend on the extent of the cancer and your health.
Mesothelioma is a very aggressive form of cancer. No matter what your doctor forecasts in terms of the likely outcome of your treatment, you should spend quality time with loved ones. Many people who are battling mesothelioma feel very ill and suffer tremendously. This can make it difficult to spend quality time with loved ones.
$32 billion dollars has been set aside to compensate those who’ve been exposed to asbestos and have developed mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. This money is held in a trust and is available to help pay for treatment costs and to compensate those suffering from mesothelioma. The first step in the process for obtaining compensation is getting a trusted Bay Area mesothelioma lawyer on your side to help determine your eligibility to receive a portion of the money held in the trust.
The Barnes Firm is one of the few law firms that can help you determine your eligibility to receive compensation and assist you in understanding all of your legal options. If you’re eligible to receive compensation, our firm will be there to help guide you through the process.
Mesothelioma is an extremely rare form of cancer that can develop after a person has inhaled or ingested microscopic particles containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that’s been mitigated from buildings, ships and supplies many years ago. However, symptoms of asbestos-related diseases may not be apparent for years or even decades after you’ve come in contact with the dangerous fibers.
This often makes it difficult for those who’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma and other diseases to determine when and where they were exposed to asbestos. At The Barnes Firm, our team of experienced Mesothelioma Attorney in San Francisco can help patients and their families put together the whole story, and get you compensation for the pain and suffering your loved ones have endured.
People who are at most risk for asbestos exposure and related illnesses include auto mechanics, pipe welders, construction workers, heating/ventilation engineers, military members who lived in older base housing, and tradesmen such as electricians, welders, plumbers as well as several other trades.
