Local Asbestos Law Attorneys

If you suffer due to asbestos exposure and are considering taking legal action, you may wonder what the process would look like.

On this page, we will explore the framework of an asbestos lawsuit. For more information on your specific case, please contact Waddell Anderman today to speak with an experienced Baton Rouge asbestos lawsuit attorney. We handle asbestos claims in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, throughout Louisiana and nationwide.

The Framework of an Asbestos Lawsuit

Every case is different, but here is a general idea of what you can expect from the process of an asbestos lawsuit:

• Gathering information: From your very first consultation with us, we will begin gathering information about your case, including your medical condition, work history and other relevant factors.
• Filing the lawsuit: If we take your case, the first formal step we take is filing the complaint. This means we are letting the potentially liable parties know that we are filing a lawsuit against them. It also sets the legal process in motion.
• Discovery: Next, we will seek out all information that may be relevant to your case, a process known as discovery. This may include subpoenaing documents from your former employer or other parties. It may also involve talking to witnesses such as former coworkers or family members.
• Preparing for trial: We prepare every case as if it is going to trial. We will seek as early a court date as possible, because we know time is precious to our clients. In many cases, we are able to reach favorable out-of-court settlements before the cases go to trial. If trial is necessary, however, we are always prepared.
• Resolution: You choose whether to settle your case or go to trial. Visit our verdicts and settlements page to find out how we have helped clients in the past.

The process of filing an asbestos lawsuit may seem daunting, but we do everything we can to make it as stress free as possible for our clients. Our lawyers will handle all of the legal details and seek maximum compensation for the losses you have suffered.

You don't have to look far to find an attorney advertising for mesothelioma lawsuits. You may have seen such ads on television or in magazines. The problem is, when you call one of these law firms, do you really know who you are talking to?

Many of these firms are located far from Louisiana and are simply looking to refer your case to another law firm that may be located in California, New York or some other state. This brings serious questions to mind:

• Are these firms really going to be invested in your case, or are they simply looking for a referral fee?
• Do they know how an asbestos case works in Louisiana? Are they familiar with the courts? Have they practiced in front of the judges who will oversee your case?
• Do they live in Louisiana, and are they familiar with the area and the people who will decide your case?
• How much will an out-of-state attorney's travel time and expenses affect your potential award or settlement?

At Waddell Anderman Law Firm, we make sure our clients do not have to be troubled by any of these questions. We know that local is a very good thing when it comes to asbestos litigation.
