Mesothelioma & Asbestos

The number of people diagnosed with asbestos caused diseases in the U.S. continues to increase. Experts believe 60,000 mesothelioma deaths will occur between 2010 and 2030.

Industrial Accidents

Work related injuries harm up to 14 million people annually, with harms including traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, burns, and electrocutions. Around 20,000 to 60,000 workers die each year from accidents, toxins, and violence at their jobs.

Product Defects

Millions of consumers and workers are injured each year because of defective products. Defects can occur when a product is designed poorly, when a product is manufactured in a manner that differs from the intended design, or when the product does not contain proper warnings or instructions. Defects can occur in automobiles, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, construction equipment, toys, and other goods.

Nursing Home Abuse

Between 1.5 and 2 million elderly reside in nursing home facilities, with studies revealing that 44% have suffered some form of abuse. Many believe the actual number of residents suffering abuse is much higher. Neglect and abuse may result in serious emotional, physical, and financial harm

Each state has different rules governing the types and amounts of damages available in personal injury, mesothelioma and wrongful death cases; therefore, results from one jurisdiction may not be comparable to results from another. The facts and circumstances of each case also are unique. Information regarding verdicts and settlements are not easily comparable. In the majority of states, legal codes of ethics prohibit attorneys from providing any guarantee or warranty regarding specific verdict or settlement amounts. The facts and circumstances of your case may differ from the matters in which results have been provided. The list of verdict & settlement values is not a complete list of all our cases.
