mesothelioma

Before I started representing accident victims, I spent years representing the insurance companies AGAINST personal injury claims, as well as a couple of years as a felony prosecutor. I stopped representing the insurance companies years ago after seeing too many injured and disabled accident victims settle for too little, or have ill-prepared attorneys at trial, and LOSE the money that was rightfully theirs to help put their lives back together. After all, that’s what insurance coverage is SUPPOSED to do. So I decided I wanted to work for the accident victims, not the insurers. As a former insurance company attorney, I’ve had literally hundreds of confidential discussions with insurance adjusters about exactly how they evaluated the settlement value of every type of injury case you can imagine. I now put the knowledge I gained “behind the scenes”, to work for my accident victim clients. We present our clients’ claims to the insurer in a manner tailored precisely to the way THEY eva...

Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces are a unique group — one that played an important role in building America into the great nation it is today. These brave men and women made incredible sacrifices to protect our country, and we owe them respect and gratitude. While many veterans gave their lives to defend our country, others came home only to die decades later from mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos, a toxic material used extensively in all branches of the military. The military certainly had the safety of service members in mind when it first embraced asbestos as a fireproofing material, but use of the toxic mineral continued well after medical evidence first proved the harmful effects of breathing it and the tragic deaths that followed. Today, veterans account for nearly a third of all mesothelioma cases in the U.S. Veterans who developed mesothelioma and other asbestos-related conditions after exposure to asbestos in the military qualify for special financial benefits fro...

A cancer diagnosis can be traumatic for both the victim and their family. Although there are some instances in which identifying the disease will allow the individual to effectively fight it, in some cases, by the time cancer is diagnosed, it has progressed to a point where it is no longer treatable. One of the most dangerous types of cancer is mesothelioma. This cancer develops slowly and unfortunately, does not show symptoms until it has taken root throughout the body. At Williams Kherkher, we are deeply sympathetic to the pain and frustration that mesothelioma victims and their families experience, and we are committed to providing effective legal representation to individuals who are suffering because of this devastating condition.

Mesothelioma Diagnosis Early mesothelioma diagnosis is key to having the best outcome possible with this disease. It’s important to get tested if you think you might have been exposed to asbestos at some point in your life. Because this is a rare form of cancer, it’s also important for patients to see a doctor who specializes in mesothelioma. There is no clear path to a mesothelioma diagnosis for every patient.

Anyone with a history of occupational asbestos exposure should remain watchful for these symptoms and report them to a doctor immediately.
