In the industrial heartland of America, millions of workers — steelworkers, miners, machinists, military veterans, millers, construction workers, firefighters, auto mechanics, textile workers — have been exposed to asbestos in their workplace, their communities, or their homes. Of all the asbestos-related diseases, malignant mesothelioma is the most serious. It is an aggressive cancer affecting the membrane lining of the lungs and abdomen. Learn more.

Medical and hospital malpractice. A negligent mistake or omission by a doctor or licensed healthcare provider can cause injury or death to a patient. Patients expect a timely diagnosis of a medical condition and proper treatment. A delay in diagnose, and therefore, a failure to treat a condition, may have long-lasting consequences and affect their quality of life. Some examples of medical negligence may include, surgical error, failure to diagnose a medical problem, giving the patient the wrong medication or dosage, improper treatment of an illness or disease, birth injury or anesthesia error.

Dangerous drugs and defective devices. Each year, dangerous medical products cause thousands of injuries and deaths in the U.S. Often, drug makers and device manufacturers recall their products – take them off the market – long after they have become aware of their potential risk for injury. As a result, unsuspecting consumers needlessly suffer illnesses and injury, undergo multiple corrective surgeries, and even lose their lives. Learn more.
Estate disputes and will contests. Whether it’s a family heirloom that has sentimental value or the equitable distribution of property, family members and friends may disagree on the way an estate is distributed. These conflicts can create tensions, rifts, and sometimes result in lawsuits. If a will does not express the true intent of a loved one or that the will is in someway invalid, you have the right to seek the court’s intervention to modify or set aside that will. Learn more.
