Our mesothelioma lawyers helped a citizen of Chile recover a substantial confidential sum against multiple companies in the Los Angeles area with the assistance of another firm that handles mesothelioma cases.  In the 1970s, our client worked at a shipyard where he was exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.  Protective masks were provided for his use but they did not provide the protection from asbestos fibers represented and their use was not enforced at the worksite.  Mesothelioma has a long latency period and our client was diagnosed decades later by his doctors in Chile.  Our team flew him into Houston for medical treatment and examination.  After nearly two years of litigation and with a trial looming in Los Angeles, the defendants offered a substantial and confidential sum to resolve the claims made against them.
