Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in thousands of products throughout the 20th century due to its strength and heat-resistant properties.
However, asbestos has since been linked to dangerous illnesses like:
After being inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibers can become lodged in the lining of certain organs and become cancerous over time.
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear for 20-50 years after the initial exposure and often resemble other illnesses.
Sokolove Law has registered nurses on staff who can help you understand your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatment options.

An asbestos attorney in Alaska can help determine if you may have been at risk of exposure at any of these sites.
Alaska Jobs at Risk of Asbestos Exposure
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most asbestos exposures happen at work.
Since asbestos is more likely to be found at certain job sites or in certain materials, some occupations can put workers at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma.
Even people who have not directly worked around asbestos can be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Often, this is due to secondhand exposure to asbestos.
Secondhand exposure happens when someone who works around asbestos or asbestos products unknowingly brings the fibers home on their clothes or in their hair, potentially exposing their entire household.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, our team may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf. Contact us now for a free case review.
Our mesothelioma lawyers in Alaska can help clients pursue compensation through a variety of avenues. Many have started to receive money in as few as 90 days.
Learn about mesothelioma lawsuits, asbestos trust funds, and VA benefits for mesothelioma below.
Mesothelioma Lawsuits
Mesothelioma lawsuits award between $1 Million and $11.4 Million on average, depending on if your case settles or goes to court.
$1M - $1.4M
Average Mesothelioma Settlement Amount
By working with our Alaska mesothelioma lawyers, you can get help:
Identifying the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to
Holding the companies that manufactured those products accountable for your illness
Pursuing life-changing compensation that can help you pay for treatments and secure your family's financial future
Over 99% of mesothelioma lawsuits result in settlements, which means many of our clients never have to step foot in court in order to receive compensation.
Many asbestos-related companies attempted to file for bankruptcy and avoid the lawsuits filed against them. However, the courts ordered these companies to create asbestos trust funds to pay mesothelioma patients and their families
$30 Billion
Estimated Amount in Asbestos Trust Funds
Asbestos trust fund claims don't require you to go to court. You may be able to access compensation from multiple trust funds without leaving the comfort of your own home.
VA Claims for Mesothelioma
If you or your loved one developed mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure during military service, you may be able to file a claim for VA benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mesothelioma has a 100% disability rating, which means veterans with this cancer may be eligible for over$3,700 a month in compensation and free health care.
Our VA-accredited lawyers can help you prepare your claim, even if you have been denied benefits in the past. Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit won't impact your VA claim.

1. Contact Sokolove Law

“I was shocked at how fast Sokolove Law called me. Two days later, they were meeting with me at my house. I was in a mild shock, but it was a good shock.” – Dennis, Firm Mesothelioma Client
2. We’ll Gather the Evidence for Your Case
Asbestos exposure can take place 20-50 years before a mesothelioma diagnosis, which can make identifying the manufacturer of the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to difficult.
Thankfully, Sokolove Law has decades of experience working on mesothelioma cases, which has allowed us to compile a warehouse of evidence on:
Known sites of asbestos exposure
Asbestos-containing products
The companies that may have put you in harm's way
We can use our experience and evidence to identify the manufacturers responsible for your exposure and build a strong legal case on your behalf.

4. Negotiate a Mesothelioma Settlement
Your Alaska asbestos attorney may be able to negotiate a mesothelioma settlement with the asbestos manufacturer on your behalf.
While the majority of cases end in a settlement, your team at Sokolove Law is also prepared to go to trial and present your case in court if needed.
There, a judge and jury will hear your case and decide how much compensation you may receive through a mesothelioma verdict.
"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 various compensation for another year." – Ricky LeBlanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law

How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in Alaska?
In Alaska, you only have 2 years to file a mesothelioma lawsuit due to laws called the statute of limitations. This time limit could vary depending on if you’re the victim or their surviving family member.

Yes. Family members can take legal action by filing a wrongful death lawsuit after a loved one passes away from mesothelioma.

Spouses
Children
Parents
Estate representatives
Compensation from a wrongful death lawsuit can help families pay for remaining medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and more.
Will my asbestos lawsuit be filed as a class action?
Mesothelioma class action lawsuits are rarely filed today because they often don’t provide families with as much compensation for cancer treatment and other expenses.
Instead, your asbestos lawsuit will be filed individually. This will allow your attorney to give your case the personal attention it deserves while fighting for the most compensation possible.
