For most of the 20th century, asbestos was used in shipyards, schools, homes, and workplaces throughout Pennsylvania. 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. In Pennsylvania, lung cancer rates are significantly higher than the national average, and this disease is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the state, according to the American Lung Association.
“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 Pennsylvania 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.
