Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused almost exclusively from exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common, a tumor arising in the pleura of the lung. Mesothelioma can also develop in the lining of the stomach- called peritoneal mesothelioma, and the heart sac- called pericardial mesothelioma. Wherever it occurs, it is an insidious, painful and progressive type of cancer, for which there is no present cure. The companies that profited from making, selling and using asbestos in their products knew or should have known that asbestos could kill people decades ago. Nevertheless, these companies continued to market and sell these deadly products without warning. This was wrong then, and the consequences are devastating now.
SEG has extensive experience successfully litigating cases involving this terrible disease. Our primary goal is to ensure that victims of Mesothelioma and their families are adequately compensated for their loss, and that the asbestos companies that negligently and maliciously put workers at risk are held accountable for their actions.
The partners of SEG have obtained favorable trial verdicts for asbestos victims all across the country. SEG attorneys have won cases against dozens of different asbestos companies. We know what it takes to get the job done!
Specific results depend on the facts of each case.
