Legal Counsel for Georgia Automotive Workers’ Mesothelioma Cases

The Georgia mesothelioma lawyers at Wallace & Graham, PA have nearly 40 years of experience representing clients in mesothelioma cases in Georgia, and we have successfully helped many clients from various industries obtain compensation for this life-changing diagnosis. These cases are inherently difficult in several ways, so seasoned legal counsel is crucial in your pursuit of accountability and compensation for your damages.

There are only about 3,000 new mesothelioma cases identified in the US each year, and while this is not a very common type of cancer, it is both incurable and terminal. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form, and the five-year relative survival rate for localized pleural mesothelioma is only 23%. This rate drops to 11% once the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, so it’s vital to pursue legal action as soon as possible after your diagnosis.

Why You Should Hire an Automotive Workers’ Mesothelioma Lawyer

Experienced legal representation is crucial in any mesothelioma case. An automotive worker in Georgia diagnosed with this cancer was likely exposed many years ago, and they will need help accurately determining the most likely source of their exposure. Automotive workers can be exposed when handling older parts like brake pads, clutch components, heat seals, and gaskets made with asbestos, and some older facilities may contain asbestos insulation.

Your Georgia automotive workers’ mesothelioma attorney at Wallace & Graham, PA can review employment records and other evidence to help you prove the most likely source of your mesothelioma diagnosis. Determining the source will help you determine your most viable legal options for claiming compensation, which may include: 

• Filing a workers’ compensation claim through your current employer if you were exposed to asbestos at your current job.
• Claiming compensation from a mesothelioma trust fund. Many US companies that used to produce asbestos products are no longer operating but were required to establish these trust funds to compensate those harmed by their products.
• Filing a personal injury claim for toxic exposure against an employer, product manufacturer, property owner, or other defendant. Success with this case could allow you to recover economic and non-economic damages.
