Asbestos Exposure & Lung Cancer in Arizona

For most of the 20th century, asbestos was used in workplaces, schools, and homes throughout Arizona. However, exposure to asbestos may cause residents to develop illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later.

The consequences of asbestos use are still being felt today. Each year, more than 4,000 Arizona residents are diagnosed with lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the state, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.

“Manufacturers of asbestos-containing products put profits ahead of people and didn’t inform workers of these dangers.”
– Jim Sokolove, Firm Founder (Retired 2013)

Now, patients and their families may be able to file an asbestos lung cancer lawsuit to hold these companies accountable for their negligence.

Compensation from an Arizona lung cancer lawsuit can help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and more. While the average lung cancer payout is around $100,000, some of our clients have received over $1 Million.

Who Can File a Lung Cancer Lawsuit in Arizona?

You may be able to file an Arizona lung cancer lawsuit if you or a loved one was diagnosed with this cancer after being exposed to asbestos.

Those who can take legal action include:

• Lung cancer patients
• Their immediate family members
• The representative of a patient’s estate

Lung cancer patients with a history of smoking may still be eligible to file a lawsuit against any asbestos-related companies that played a role in their illness.

“While lung cancer is often thought of as a smoker's disease, smoking is not its only cause. There are a number of risk factors that may cause lung cancer, including asbestos exposure.”
– Dr. Michael Milano

If your loved one has already passed away from lung cancer, you may be able to seek justice on their behalf by filing an asbestos claim after their death.
