Practice Areas

Americans who have been diagnosed with the disease mesothelioma know that it is almost impossible to treat. Because it can take a long time for mesthelioma to present itself after initial asbestos exposure, the disease can often be at an aggressive stage by the time treatment starts. At the Throneberry Law Group, we walk victims of this rare cancer through all the steps of a difficult process. We want to help you get the medical treatmentyou need to help alleviate pain and suffering, while fighting for the just compensation to which you are entitled.

Mesothelioma is a cancer that can affect the tissues around the heart, lungs, and other organs. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, and often manifests 30 to 40 years later. While treatment can significantly ease the pain and symptoms of the illness, the disease itself is incurable.

The Throneberry Law Group delivers the vital resources victims need to locate immediate care for their illness and aggressively fight for compensation for their illness, regardless of where those victims live. We are known for our passion and success in mesothelioma litigation from Maine to California, and everywhere in between.

Mesothelioma

Roughly 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed every year in this country. There are three common types of mesothelioma that we see most often:

• Pleural mesothelioma: Pleural mesothelioma impacts the lining around the lungs and constitutes more than 70% of all mesothelioma cases. Symptoms include pain in the chest, trouble breathing, and fluid in the lungs.
• Peritoneal mesothelioma: Peritoneal mesothelioma impacts the tissue around the abdominal organs and constitutes around 20% of case. Symptoms include pain and swelling of the abdomen, vomiting, fever, and bowel trouble.
• Pericardial mesothelioma: Pericardial mesothelioma is rare and impacts the protective lining around the heart. Symptoms include pain in the chest, cough, and irregular heartbeat.

Utilizing our cohesive approach to fighting claims, we are able to work quickly yet efficiently to get mesothelioma sufferers access to life-extending treatment and relief from the extremely painful symptoms related to the disease.

Asbestos

Having been mined for over four millennia, asbestos is a substance found in many products and buildings in this country, even to this day. It is a naturally occurring silica material thought to have great fire resistance and nominal tensile strength. For this reason, homes, military equipment, commercial buildings, and more were often constructed using this dangerous substance.

Veteran Representation

At the Throneberry Law Group, we are aggressively fighting for active duty and discharged military personnel who have been diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma or something similar due to their exposure to asbestos on older military ships and equipment.

Our experienced and dedicated mesothelioma attorneys help connect veterans to quallified specialists who can diagnose the root causes of their mesothelioma and provide the best quality care. We will aggresively pursue the compensation each veteran deserves to support him or herself and his or her family.
