While we are here to fight for the compensation you deserve, we are also here to take care of you and your family during the legal process. As such, our legal team is always available to answer your questions and lend support at every stage. This way, you’ll be aware of what to expect and can make informed decisions as your case progresses. In practical terms, we support you by:
Asbestos exposure cases require extensive investigations to identify the liable parties. Supporting information in your case could include employment records, medical documents, and other supporting information.
Our attorneys work to identify who is responsible for causing your illness. Liability could rest with past employers or manufacturers or distributors of products that contain asbestos. In some cases, multiple parties may share fault, which provides more avenues from which to seek compensation.
We make a detailed financial assessment that accounts for how the asbestos exposure has affected your life. This is important to ensure you recover an appropriate level of compensation so that you can adapt to changes in your situation and plan for the future. The same principle applies to families who have lost loved ones due to asbestos exposure.
We pursue the best possible outcome in each case we handle. Insurance companies often try to minimize these matters by offering low settlements, disputing fault, or denying legitimate cases. We fight to protect you from these tactics.
Managing a complex legal case can be draining. We want you to prioritize your health above all else. In the meantime, we provide peace of mind that your claim is in capable hands.
We understand how difficult it can be to cope with a diagnosis of mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness and the range of emotions that it can bring. As such, we are here to lend our strength, protect your best interests, and seek the compensation needed to ensure your well-being.
We work hard to manage your case efficiently and effectively. This means we take care of all communications with liable parties, their insurers, or legal teams on your behalf. Our legal teams also manage day-to-day case administration while handling the time-consuming and demanding process of building a robust case.
Because we prepare every case in meticulous detail, we can foresee and manage conflicts that can complicate the legal process. This helps us keep disputes and misunderstandings to a minimum.
You could benefit from consulting with an attorney experienced in handling asbestos and mesothelioma cases. Herschensohn Law offers free case reviews where we listen to you, answer your questions, and explain your legal options and next steps with no obligations.
To be successful in your case, we must demonstrate your entitlement to compensation, which requires proving the following factors:
Remember, there is limited time to file an asbestos injury lawsuit per Washington’s statute of limitations. This is typically three years from the date you knew about or were diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness. As such, we encourage you to review your legal options as soon as possible. If you miss the deadline, you miss the chance to hold another party financially accountable.

Our team has decades of experience helping asbestos claimants recover compensation for their losses. Here are two of our successful case outcomes:
Because of how long it takes to develop asbestos-related health concerns, many of these cases are coming to light decades after the initial exposure. As such, it’s reasonable to have questions about your case and asbestos exposure in general.
You may be wondering:
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in the construction, automobile, and maritime industries from the 1950s to the mid-1980s. However, it was later discovered that asbestos fibers cause severe damage to the respiratory system when inhaled. Despite being banned in many countries, its use is still permitted in the United States.
As such, people in the following industries, occupations, and locations can encounter asbestos:
Please keep in mind this list is not comprehensive, so exposure can occur in other industries and occupations as well as communities, homes, and schools. The main takeaway here is this: if you or a loved one was diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, you can seek compensation.
Asbestos-related illnesses (such as mesothelioma or asbestosis) can take years or even decades to manifest through symptoms such as:
If you have any concerns, consult your doctor and ask for tests such as chest x-rays, blood tests, and other diagnostic tests recommended by your healthcare provider.
Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other serious respiratory illnesses––all of which can have long latency periods before symptoms appear. As such, recovering compensation for asbestos exposure can be complex. Yet, for our team, it’s not impossible. We consult with field experts, gather evidence, and prove negligence to support your case’s required elements.
