Contact Us  |  Louisiana Mesothelioma Attorney

Mesothelioma is a serious lung disease in which the cells of the mesothelium (membrane of the lung) become abnormal, divide and multiple without control, resulting in cancerous tumors.

Many workers at New Orleans's shipyards, powerhouses, plants and construction sites were exposed to asbestos. We represent workers in New Orleans (LA) that have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and lung cancer. We are familiar with the most common New York work sites, and the products used at these sites. Even if you were not exposed at work, our mesothelioma attorneys will fully investigate your case to determine the likely sources of your exposure to asbestos.

The New Orleans companies that manufactured, sold and installed asbestos products had extensive knowledge of the deadly hazards of asbestos as early as 1920. These companies did not warn of the risks or protect workers. The result is that many have unnecessarily and tragically contracted mesothelioma.
