Mesothelioma Lawyer Help

Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer, and its most common cause is exposure to asbestos. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you need to move quickly to understand your treatment options and find the best possible plan. At the same time, you should analyze your legal options.

The company or companies that exposed you to asbestos need to be held accountable for the damage they've done to you and your family. Treatment for mesothelioma is expensive. Other ways asbestos exposure can cost you include:

Lost wages • Pain and suffering • Emotional damages • Loss of earning capacity

These, combined with your current and future medical bills, can leave you and your family in a terrible position. By working with the skilled attorneys at Gori Julian & Associates, P.C., you may be able to collect full compensation. That will allow you to focus on getting the best possible treatment.

"If I ever come in contact with someone that needs assistance with this bad killer disease I'll make sure to recommend your firm highly! You guys are THE BEST! Thank you again. I know no amount of money in the world would ever compensate my loss but at least the companies have to pay for their sins." - David

Wrongful Death Mesothelioma Claims

Despite advances in treatment, mesothelioma is still often fatal. If you have lost a loved one to mesothelioma, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. These claims can help you cover costs for medical bills, loss of consortium, funeral expenses and pain and suffering. They also offer an opportunity to hold the negligent parties responsible for exposing your loved one to deadly asbestos.

Mesothelioma Symptoms

Mesothelioma symptoms may vary from person to person and a number of variables can be involved. Some of the more common asbestos-related mesothelioma cancer symptoms associated with pleural mesothelioma and other types of mesothelioma as well include:

• Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing normally
• Severe coughing, coughing up blood
• Chest pain
• Rapid weight loss
• Impaired bowel function
• Abdominal bloating
• Persistent tiredness, fatigue even with minimal exertion

Diagnosis and Treatment of Mesothelioma

Because the symptoms of mesothelioma are common to a wide range of other illnesses and diseases — the cancer may have progressed to an advanced stage by the time a diagnosis is made.

The first steps include a careful review of the patient's medical history and potential sources of asbestos exposure link to the asbestos connection. Next, a thorough physical examination will need to be done. This may include:

• X-rays of the chest or abdomen
• Lung function or breathing tests
• A complete blood count (CBC)
• Computed tomography (CT) scans
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Biopsies of affected tissues

Because mesothelioma is usually not diagnosed until the disease is already well-established, treatment options may be limited. Treatment options may include:

• Surgery
• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Photodynamic therapy
• Gene therapy
• Alternative medicine approaches

In most cases, a combination of two or more of these options will be used together, depending on the age and general health of the patient, as well as on the type, location and stage of the cancer.

Pioneers of mesothelioma litigation in America

Since the 1970s, our founding partners were pioneers in championing the rights of asbestos and mesothelioma victims. In fact, Stan Levy was the first personal injury lawyer in the Northeast to pursue an asbestos case and one of the first mesothelioma attorneys in America.

Later in 1985, he and the founding partners Steven Phillips and Alan Konigsberg formed the law firm with a mission to apply their remarkable legal expertise to seek justice and financial compensation on behalf of asbestos and mesothelioma victims across the United States.

Massive knowledge of asbestos law and science

Since the 1980s, the law firm has evolved into a nationwide powerhouse for mesothelioma litigation in the U.S. Our mesothelioma lawyers have represented numerous individuals and groups of workers and won for them multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts.

Understanding the science of asbestos exposure is an invaluable resource. One of the many benefits of our early involvement in mesothelioma litigation is our access to pioneering researchers and experts in this complex and ever-changing medical field. We put these experts to work on behalf of our clients, in the courtroom and in treatment of their disease.

Since then, our attorneys have amassed considerable knowledge of asbestos-related diseases and the law that applies to them. Our lawyers have combined that knowledge and expertise into a powerful resource for our mesothelioma clients and their family members.

[ Top of page ]

Unparalleled experience among mesothelioma attorneys

Our founding partners still practice with the firm and are joined by our second and third generation of mesothelioma attorneys. These lawyers bring to bear on every case a level of experience that can only come from decades of working together toward a common goal - maximum compensation for mesothelioma victims and their families.

Each new generation of mesothelioma attorneys at the firm acquires the skills, techniques, and knowledge of our senior partners through mentoring relationships. Not only does this benefit every lawyer, it benefits our clients in the form of consistently successful representation.

Hundreds of asbestos and mesothelioma cases tried before jury

Our mesothelioma attorneys fight for justice for the innocent people - the victims of deadly asbestos exposure. Companies that knew the threat asbestos poses must be held accountable for the illnesses that resulted from their negligence.

Our lawyers have succeeded by negotiating vigorously with manufacturers of asbestos products and their insurance companies, no matter how influential or uncooperative they are. Our attorneys are often able to recover compensation even from those companies that have long been bankrupt.

Most defense lawyers are familiar with our solid reputation and credentials and know in advance that we will not settle for less than the best possible offer. They know that we build every mesothelioma and asbestos case as if it is going to trial, and we have taken hundreds of cases to juries when a fair settlement had not been offered.

The mesothelioma attorneys at Levy Konigsberg LLP have also served as lead counsels in major state and federal mass consolidation cases designed to benefit many hundreds of people diagnosed with mesothelioma and other types of asbestos-related diseases.

Personally handling mesothelioma cases

Countless lawyers who advertise to position themselves as mesothelioma attorneys have never actually handled an asbestos case before. In fact, they refer them out to real mesothelioma lawyers for a fee. That is not how we operate. We are the real mesothelioma attorneys who work personally on each case from beginning to end and always happy to meet our clients, whether at our New York or New Jersey offices or at a client’s home or hospital anywhere in the country.

[ Top of page ]

Individual approach and attention to every case

Unfortunately, many law firms today use a generalized approach to handling cases of the same type, even those as complex as mesothelioma cases. With a goal of cutting back on the time spent on each case, they use broad brush practices and techniques to process cases as fast as they can often risking the possibility of missing important details in a case and thus undermining the goal of negotiating the best possible compensation for their clients. Contrary to such mentality, we treat every case as if it was our only one. We investigate each case with a team of lawyers, paralegals, and leading experts in the field, while being in constant communication with the clients, to ensure that we have done everything we could to reach the full potential of each individual case.

No upfront costs for handling your mesothelioma case

We offer a free initial consultation, and cover the expenses of building your case, so there is no cost to you unless we recover compensation for you.

[ Top of page ]

Fast handling of mesothelioma cases

In many courts, mesothelioma cases are treated urgently and given high priority. This is particularly true if the claimant is alive. In some jurisdictions, the entire case can be resolved within four to five months; in others, it can take longer.

Here, at Levy Konigsberg LLP our attorneys do everything possible to avoid delays and move our cases as quickly as we can. This is accomplished thanks to the coordinated work of our team members and the fact that every mesothelioma case goes through a strict control and supervision, including regular follow-ups and reviews by the lead lawyers.

Frequent case updates and high accessibility

Our mesothelioma attorneys update clients on a regular basis, so that they always know of every important development on their case and that it is being taken care of.

Our lawyers and support staff take every phone call with a high level of priority and try to answer them on the spot. If unavailable at that very moment, they call the clients back as promptly as they can.

It is not uncommon that our mesothelioma attorneys often provide clients with their cell phone numbers to address any urgent questions that the clients may have in the future.

Asbestos litigation affords mesothelioma victims the opportunity to receive financial compensation and hold accountable the companies that caused their asbestos exposure.IMPORTANT: If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer as early as possible to determine if you have a mesothelioma case and to:

• Preserve your rights to bring a legal action against the responsible parties within the limited time frame allowed by law, known as statute of limitations;
• Obtain maximum compensation in your case by being able to:
  • Preserve evidence and establish facts of the asbestos exposure while the claimant is still alive and able to provide information;
  • File and resolve a lawsuit against the responsible parties before they file for bankruptcy or, if they already have, to obtain compensation before their bankruptcy trust funds run out of money;
• Expedite your case, as courts tend to give higher priority to mesothelioma lawsuits where the claimant is still alive.

Info About New Jersey Mesothelioma Attorneys

New Jersey Mesothelioma Attorneys Win $7.5M Asbestos Verdict

New Jersey mesothelioma attorneys from the nationally-acclaimed asbestos law firm Levy Konigsberg LLP obtain a $7.5M verdict, including a $1M award of punitive damages, for a victim of mesothelioma and his wife.

NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey, January 15, 2015 - William and Debbie Condon of Lake Hopatcong, NJ – represented by mesothelioma attorneys Moshe Maimon and Joseph J. Mandia of Levy Konigsberg LLP - won a month-long trial against Pecora Corporation¹. The jury verdict awarded $6.5M in compensatory damages for Mr. Condon's asbestos-caused mesothelioma. The jury also determined that Pecora had acted in wanton and willful disregard of his rights - and further awarded $1M in punitive damages.

Known to his co-workers as "Billy Boiler," Mr. Condon, who is currently 67 years old, installed heating and air conditioning systems, including boilers, for 11 years (1973-1984) while he was employed at Fritze Heating and Cooling of Whippany, New Jersey. Asbestos, including Pecora's Asbestos Furnace Cement, came with the boilers he installed, and it was Mr. Condon's exposure to these products that resulted in him developing mesothelioma, a terminal cancer, in June of 2013. Mr. Condon testified in Court that, prior to being diagnosed with mesothelioma, he had a "great life," which includes his "wonderful wife" (they have been together for 50 years), and two children.

The evidence presented at trial showed that before Mr. Condon ever worked with its Asbestos Furnace Cement, Pecora was warned about the hazards of asbestos by its own asbestos suppliers. Yet, Pecora took no action to eliminate the hazards of asbestos from its product or to warn Mr. Condon (or others) about those hazards so that he could protect himself. Finally, the evidence showed that, during the time period in which Mr. Condon was working with Pecora's Asbestos Furnace Cement, Pecora's own president was diagnosed with mesothelioma and filed his own lawsuit seeking justice for his asbestos-related cancer. Despite this, Pecora did not stop making asbestos-containing products and removed asbestos from its products only 5 years later when its insurers would no longer cover asbestos-related risk.

After considering the evidence, the jury awarded $1M in punitive damages against Pecora. The Honorable Ana C. Viscomi – Superior Court Judge - presided over the trial. Punitive damages are designed to punish a wrongdoer for particularly egregious conduct and to deter that party from future misconduct².

Levy Konigsberg LLP is a nationally recognized asbestos litigation firm specializing in the representation of mesothelioma and lung cancer victims for close to 30 years.

For more information about this verdict, please contact New Jersey mesothelioma attorneys Moshe Maimon or Joseph Mandia at 1-800-724-6510 or by email inquiry to jmandia@levylaw.com.
