Even after asbestos was widely recognized for its health risks, American industry continued to use the toxic material in a variety of products and materials - up until the late 1980s. This neglect caused thousands of people across the country to develop mesothelioma and other related diseases, all of which could have been avoided.
At The Throneberry Law Group, we are experienced asbestos investigation and litigation attorneys who strive to connect your mesothelioma claim to the party that exposed you to asbestos. You deserve the best quality treatment for your illness, and we work aggressively to make those responsible pay for your care.
Thorough Investigation of Employers, Products, and CompaniesWhen you consult with our attorneys, we will travel to your location to evaluate your case and investigate any local parties who may be responsible for your asbestos exposure. Our firm is familiar with the products, materials, companies, and occupations that often exposed people to asbestos and caused mesothelioma. We are often able to pinpoint the specific instances of exposure that are responsible for your illness and take swift action to get you the compensation you deserve.
The Dangers of Secondary Asbestos ExposureWhile there are a number of ways in which people were directly exposed to asbestos, some individuals have been diagnosed with serious medical conditions after indirect exposure (or, secondary exposure) to the harmful substance. In many situations, this type of exposure occurs when a worker who is directly exposed to asbestos carries that asbestos home on his or her clothes or hair. When this happens, any family or friends who come in contact with that worker are exposed to harmful asbestos fibers.
For many years, men were predominantly exposed to asbestos at their places of work. The women who typically washed their husband’s clothing were at an elevated risk of expsure and subsequently often suffered from mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases. In the case of secondary asbestos exposure, the investigation process is often much more complicated, but a skilled mesothelioma attorney can help.
Litigating for the Treatment and Care You DeserveMesothelioma is a devastating disease that is often only caught too late in the process, leaving its victims as little as 12-18 months left to live. With quality medical care, you can extend that time frame and alleviate the painful symptoms that accompany the illness. Unfortunately, quality medical care is an expense many families can not afford.

We are dedicated to fighting those responsible for your asbestos exposure in order to pay for the treatment you deserve, as well as for compensation for any lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
