Asbestos Exposure & Lung Cancer in MA

For most of the 20th century, asbestos was used in shipyards, schools, homes, and workplaces throughout Massachusetts — and in some areas, it can still be found today.

However, exposure to a single asbestos fiber may place someone at risk of developing illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma decades later.

“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 a Massachusetts 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 patients have received over $1 Million.

Who Can File a Lung Cancer Lawsuit in Massachusetts?

You may be able to file a Massachusetts 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.

Massachusetts Lung Cancer Compensation Options

Asbestos lung cancer patients and their families may be able to secure compensation from multiple options, including legal claims and benefits for veterans.

Massachusetts lung cancer compensation options include: 

• Asbestos trust funds: An estimated $30 Billion is still available in these trust funds, which were created by bankrupt asbestos companies to avoid lawsuits. Trust fund claims can be filed from the comfort of your home.
• Lung cancer lawsuits: While lung cancer lawsuits award $100,000 on average, we’ve secured more than $1 Million for some clients. Many patients start receiving payouts in as few as 90 days.
• VA benefits: If you developed lung cancer from military asbestos exposure, you may be eligible for monthly payments worth over $3,700. Our VA-accredited attorneys can help you get a 100% disability rating and access the benefits you deserve.

Lung cancer compensation can provide your family with financial support during this difficult time, so you can get help paying for medical bills, lost wages, and other costs related to your illness.

We can determine all of the options you qualify for and pursue payouts from each one in order to maximize your total results.
