Canadian Mesothelioma Law Firm

Exposure Through a Family Member
Many of our clients were exposed through their parents or spouse. Imagine a normal Canadian family in the 1960s or 1970s. Dad would come home from a workplace that contained asbestos products. Little would he know that the microscopic asbestos fibers he was being exposed to at work would be left on his work clothes, to be breathed in by his family after he got home. Forty or fifty years later his wife is diagnosed with mesothelioma, and the reason is simply that she laundered her husband’s clothing, hugged him after work, or was in the same room.
 
The manufacturers of asbestos willingly covered up the dangers of asbestos and continued selling their products without warning labels for years. They chose profits over lives. As a result, workers and their families were unwittingly exposed. Some of our clients were just babies when they first breathed in asbestos fibers brought home by their fathers from the workplace.
 
Determining exactly when and where someone with mesothelioma was exposed to asbestos can often be very difficult, especially because mesothelioma takes decades after exposure to appear. However, we have the experience and expertise to ask the right questions to determine which manufacturers were involved, either directly or indirectly, and therefore which asbestos trusts we can claim from. Even if you have never worked with asbestos directly, if you’re diagnosed with mesothelioma we may be able to get you compensation.
 
We have helped many children and spouses of asbestos workers receive compensation for mesothelioma. Contact us to discuss your options. You need the best mesothelioma lawyer for your case. Our firm has handled mesothelioma cases for over 15 years and will help you receive maximum compensation.

Residential Exposure | Renovations
 
Many of our clients were exposed to asbestos, not at work but in their own homes. There is a large range of asbestos products that were sold and marketed for residential homes. Asbestos is very common in houses built in Canada before the 1990s. Even if you did not perform the renovations yourself you may be eligible for compensation.
 
Common household asbestos products have been sold for many years include:

• Floor Tiles
• Drywall Products
• Joint Compound/Cement
• Insulation
• Wiring
• Asbestos Paper
• Ceiling Tiles
• Attic Insulation
• Cement products
• Sprayed Fireproofing and Thermal Insulation
• Corrugated Sheeting
• Cement Pipes
• Many more!

 
In order to receive compensation, we need to figure out which asbestos products you were exposed to. If you have been exposed to asbestos during renovations, we can help you figure out the specific products that were sold for home use during the years you performed the renovations. We have had hundreds of clients that have been exposed through home renovations. We have built a database of residential asbestos products that were sold in different provinces, from the 1940s to the 1990s.

Workplace Exposure
 
You need the best mesothelioma lawyer for your case! The majority of our clients were exposed to asbestos in their workplaces. As mesothelioma lawyers, it is our job to figure out which asbestos products you were exposed to in your workplace. We do not make a claim against your company or employer, we only seek compensation from the manufacturers of asbestos products. All of the asbestos trusts we apply to are American companies that sold asbestos products in Canada. Our Mesothelioma Lawyers have built a database of information about asbestos products, where and when they were sold. This database helps us figure out what asbestos products you were exposed to, in order to maximize your compensation.
 
We have helped over 500 clients diagnosed with mesothelioma in Canada, with every possible occupation. From pipefitters, electricians, plumbers, mine workers, factory workers, mechanics, insulators, machinists, welders, construction workers, steamfitters, carpenters, you name it we have done it. Our Canadian clients have helped us build a database of asbestos products in Canada that are known to cause mesothelioma. With our industry knowledge and experience, we can get you more compensation than any of our competitors.
 
If you have been exposed to asbestos at work and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, as a Canadian you have the following options. You can either apply to a provincial Workers Compensation Board or claim directly from the U.S. manufacturers of asbestos products through asbestos trusts. You cannot have a claim with the asbestos trusts and also choose Workers Compensation. You must pick one or the other. In most cases, we can recover a much greater amount claiming from trusts than Workers Compensation will provide. Give us a call and we can give you a free consultation to provide you with more information.
 
There are many American Law Firms that will say they recovered several million for a specific occupation, but this does not apply to Canadians. In order to receive this compensation they are suing viable companies in US courts, something Canadians cannot do unless they have exposure in the USA or are American citizens. These US firms are trying to trick vulnerable people into thinking they can receive greater compensation, but because they are Canadian they cannot have a court case against a manufacturer of asbestos products.
