Our complete guide to mesothelioma, in plain English: how it starts, the types and symptoms, how it is diagnosed, and the treatments available today, from surgery and chemotherapy to newer options.

The video is a starting point. The site covers every asbestos disease in plain English, with guides to diagnosis and treatment, help finding a specialist, and a dictionary of the medical terms you'll hear.
Recovery usually comes from more than one place, and the channels run in parallel. We file across every one that applies.
Since 2014, we've recovered more than $400 million for our clients through trust claims, lawsuits and benefit programs.
Only want trust claims? That's fine. If you'd rather not file a lawsuit, we're glad to handle just the trust claims: paperwork, with no deposition and no courtroom.

Most asbestos exposure traces back to a job, a ship, a product or military service, and sometimes to work clothes brought home. You don't need records to start: a job title or a product name is enough.

In November 2025 we released eight short videos on the old legends of asbestos, from Pliny's 'linen' that grew in the desert to Benjamin Franklin's purse. Here they are, with what the records show and what is only legend.

“I started this firm after learning that the cancers that killed my father and grandparents were caused by asbestos, something we did not realize until it was too late to hold anyone accountable. That experience is why we built this site: so that no other family misses their chance to ask the questions, hear the options, and decide for themselves what to do.”
Asbestos is the name for six natural minerals that form long, thin fibers. It resisted heat and was cheap, so for most of the twentieth century it went into thousands of products, from pipe insulation and boiler cement to brake pads and floor tile.
