How a Los Angeles Mesothelioma Attorney Can Support You

At Sokolove Law, our Los Angeles mesothelioma lawyers can handle every step of the legal process for you — from finding the evidence in your case to filing the lawsuit on your behalf.

This way, you can focus on what matters most: your health and your loved ones.

We'll pursue compensation from every option available to you, which may include:

Laws called the statute of limitations limit how long you have to file a mesothelioma claim — if the deadline passes, you won’t have the opportunity to file a claim again. We'll make sure all of your paperwork is filed correctly and on time.

A mesothelioma lawyer in Los Angeles can also help maximize your payout. We have a track record of success against companies that knew the risks of asbestos exposure but kept this information hidden to protect their profits.

“Hiring Sokolove Law was the smartest thing we ever did. Filing the lawsuit was easy because the firm made it easy. We didn’t have to do anything.”
– John, Mesothelioma Survivor & Firm Client

How Long Does It Take to Get an Asbestos Payout?

At Sokolove Law, we know how important it is for mesothelioma patients and their families to get money fast. Our asbestos attorneys in Los Angeles strive to secure financial support for victims as soon as possible.

Many of our clients start receiving mesothelioma compensation in as few as 90 days, with additional checks coming in for months after that.

While the payout timeline for mesothelioma will vary for each case, our track record of success often makes companies choose to settle instead of risking a battle in court.

"Our clients could receive compensation in as few as 6 weeks. The more likelihood is 2 or 3 months, and then you'll probably continue receiving compensation for another year."
– Ricky LeBlanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law

At-Risk Los Angeles Asbestos Jobs

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most asbestos exposures happen in the workplace. Certain job sites and occupations may have exposed employees to asbestos through different products, materials, and locations.

Some of the occupations most at risk of asbestos exposure include:

  • Auto or aircraft mechanics
  • Boilermakers
  • Cabinet makers
  • Carpenters
  • Construction workers
  • Custodial and maintenance workers
  • Drywall installers
  • Electricians
  • Factory workers
  • Firefighters
  • Insulators
  • Miners
  • Painters
  • Plumbers
  • Shipyard workers
  • U.S. military service members

Unfortunately, family members of those working high-risk jobs may have also been exposed to asbestos through secondhand exposure.

Anyone who worked around asbestos could unknowingly bring the fibers home on their clothing or hair, putting the whole household at risk.

Mesothelioma & Asbestos Exposure in Los Angeles, CA

Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can become lodged in the linings of organs and irritate healthy tissue.

It can take 20-50 years for symptoms of mesothelioma to appear after exposure to asbestos. Since mesothelioma often presents similarly to common illnesses, it’s often not diagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage.

Early symptoms of mesothelioma can include:

  • Abdominal or chest pain
  • Cough
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Shortness of breath
  • Weight loss

Tell your doctor immediately if you begin experiencing any of these symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure.

We have registered nurses on staff who can work with our Los Angeles asbestos lawyers to help you further understand your diagnosis.
