Mesothelioma & Asbestos

Did you know that asbestos is still legal and in use in the U.S.?
And it’s still responsible for about 10,000 deaths a year in the United States alone.

And every year, approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma, a deadly cancer of the lining of the lung that is caused by asbestos exposure. The worst part? This horrible cancer is preventable. Even though the asbestos companies knew that asbestos could cause cancer, they actively hid the truth from the public to continue profiting from their products.

Baron and Budd was one of the first law firms to successfully handle a mesothelioma lawsuit in the 1970s and continues to fight for the rights of mesothelioma patients and their families more than 30 years later. We continue to actively litigate against the asbestos companies responsible for this tragedy, and strive to fight this terrible cancer in and out of the courtroom.

We are proud of the work we have done on behalf of mesothelioma patients. We even went all the way to the Supreme Court to protect the rights of mesothelioma patients to file individual lawsuits that address the specific issues of their cancer instead of being lumped into a class action settlement –all at our own expense and with no expectation of payment.

Our attorneys have achieved more than 100 individuals verdicts on behalf of asbestos patients and their families, and we stand ready to “Protect What’s Right” for you.
