California Mesothelioma Attorneys & Asbestos Lawyers

Mesothelioma lawsuits are different in California. Throughout Baron and Budd’s more than 30 year history of handling asbestos lawsuits, our mesothelioma attorneys have developed an in-depth understanding of the civil justice system in California and how to achieve maximum results for mesothelioma clients. Even today, the California mesothelioma lawyers at Baron and Budd continue to actively handle mesothelioma lawsuits instead of sending them to another law firm for the actual casework.

As leading California mesothelioma attorneys, Baron and Budd has:

• Represented some of the highest profile asbestos cases in the state of California
• Achieved some of the largest verdicts of their kind in California
• Successfully protected all their California verdicts on appeal
• Maintained a presence in northern and southern California, unlike many other firms
  

  Baron & Budd Significant California Mesothelioma Victories

  Read our full list of mesothelioma case results here.

  • $48 million verdict for Mr. Bobbie Izell and his wife against a number of asbestos companies, including Union Carbide, a subsidiary of Dow Chemical, Riverside Cement, CalPortland and others responsible for Mr. Izell’s mesothelioma. Mr. Izell came into contact with asbestos as a bystander through his work in the construction business. This is the largest mesothelioma verdict in the nation in 2012 to date.

• $20 million verdict for Ms. Joan Mahoney and her husband Mr. Daniel Mahoney. Ms. Mahoney was an entertainer for several years, and her career took her around the world, performing on United Service Organizations tours, but it was her work in the family remodeling business that brought her into contact with asbestos-containing joint compounds that later caused her mesothelioma.
• $10 million verdict for Mr. David Fowers and his family. Mr. Fowers spent much of his career as a machinist in the U.S. Navy, where he worked around asbestos-containing gaskets, pumps and other materials while repairing ship parts on a Naval repair barge.
• $3.9 million verdict for Mr. Joseph Norris, a U.S. Navy veteran, and his family. Mr. Norris passed in 2006 from mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos as a bystander working aboard U.S. Navy ships. Mr. Norris was exposed to asbestos from his work with Crane Co. asbestos-containing valves.
