For most of the 20th century, asbestos was used in shipyards, schools, homes, and workplaces throughout Illinois. However, exposure to asbestos may place residents at risk of developing illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later.
The consequences of that widespread asbestos use are still being felt today. In Illinois, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the third most common cancer, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
“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 Illinois 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.

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.
