Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. It can occur after a single instance of exposure or after decades of prolonged exposure.
In most cases, this cancer doesn't develop until 20-50 years after the initial exposure.
Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are so similar to those of other illnesses, like lung cancer or the common cold.
Sokolove Law has registered nurses on staff who can help you understand your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatment options.
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure, it's important to see your physician right away.

New Hampshire Workers at Risk of Asbestos Exposure
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most asbestos exposures happen at work.
Since asbestos is more likely to be found at certain job sites or in certain materials, some occupations can put workers at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma.
Even people who have not directly worked around asbestos can be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Often, this is due to secondhand exposure to asbestos.
Secondhand exposure happens when someone who works around asbestos or asbestos products unknowingly brings the fibers home on their clothes or in their hair, potentially exposing their entire household.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, our team may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf. Contact us now for a free case review.

$30 Billion
Estimated Amount in Asbestos Trust Funds
Asbestos trust fund claims don't require you to go to court. You may be able to access compensation from multiple trust funds without leaving the comfort of your own home.
VA Claims for Mesothelioma
If you or your loved one developed mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure during military service, you may be able to file a claim for VA benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mesothelioma has a 100% disability rating, which means veterans with this cancer may be eligible for over$3,700 a month in compensation and free health care.
Our VA-accredited lawyers can help you prepare your claim, even if you have been denied benefits in the past. Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit won't impact your VA claim.

2. We’ll Gather Evidence for Your Case
Asbestos exposure can take place 20-50 years before a mesothelioma diagnosis, which can make identifying the manufacturer of the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to difficult.
Thankfully, Sokolove Law has decades of experience working on mesothelioma cases, which has allowed us to compile a warehouse of evidence on:
Known sites of asbestos exposure
Asbestos-containing products
The companies that may have put you in harm's way

There, a judge and jury will hear your case and decide how much compensation you may receive through a mesothelioma verdict.
"Our clients could receive compensation in as few as 6 weeks. The more likelihood is 2 or 3 months, and then you'll probably continue receiving various compensation for another year." – Ricky LeBlanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law

Compensation from a wrongful death lawsuit can help families pay for remaining medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and more.
Will my asbestos lawsuit be filed as a class action?

Instead, your asbestos lawsuit will be filed individually. This will allow your attorney to give your case the personal attention it deserves while fighting for the most compensation possible.
