A lawyer can help you navigate the workers’ compensation process and secure the appropriate benefits to cover medical expenses and lost wages.

The type and amount of settlement you can secure will depend on various factors, including the severity of your illness, the extent of your exposure, the liability of the parties involved, and the legal strategy employed by your attorney. An experienced paper mill asbestos lawyer will work diligently to help you obtain the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.

  • Gathering Evidence: To build a strong case, your attorney will work to collect relevant evidence, such as medical records, employment history, witness statements, and documents that establish the connection between your asbestos exposure and your illness.
