Roby Whittington dedicated over 30 years of his life to the U.S. Steel plant in Gary, Indiana. As a steelworker, he was often surrounded by materials containing asbestos, including insulation and protective equipment. However, the impact of Roby’s exposure to asbestos did not become apparent until over 25 years later.
When Roby was 70 years old, he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. While he should have been enjoying his well-earned retirement, Roby instead found himself attending doctors appointments and struggling with his declining health. Soon after, he contacted our attorneys for help.
“Roby worked hard and provided for his family and put in an honest day’s work,” said Partner Perry Browder, who oversaw the case. “U.S. Steel, on the other hand, treated him like he was a resource — no different than coal or iron. They poisoned him. People to this day are still getting sick and dying of mesothelioma from exposures they had 30, 40, 50 years ago.”
Through our dedicated efforts, our Indiana mesothelioma lawyers were able to secure a meaningful verdict for the Whittington family.
Indiana Mesothelioma Legal Questions
What is an asbestos exposure or mesothelioma lawsuit?
A mesothelioma lawsuit is a type of legal action taken against companies that made or used products containing asbestos.
Since many companies knowingly hid the dangers of asbestos from their employees and consumers, victims may be able to hold asbestos companies accountable and pursue compensation for injuries they suffered as a result of the company’s products.
Who can file a mesothelioma legal claim?
You may be able to file a mesothelioma legal claim if:
You were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease
You’re the family member or estate representative of someone with mesothelioma
Even if your loved one has passed away from mesothelioma, you may still be able to pursue compensation on their behalf.
Call (800) 326-8900 now to learn if you may be eligible to file a claim with the help of a mesothelioma lawyer in Indiana. It costs nothing to speak with us.
How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim in Indiana?
You have only a short window of time after your mesothelioma diagnosis to file an asbestos claim due to statutes of limitations, which are state-specific deadlines on when you can file a lawsuit.
Once these deadlines pass, it’s too late to take legal action for your illness.
Because of this, it’s important to contact us as soon as possible. Our team can listen to what’s going on and let you know if you still have time to take legal action.
How much does an Indiana mesothelioma attorney cost?
At Simmons Hanly Conroy, there are no initial or out-of-pocket costs to work with an Indiana asbestos attorney.
We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
Will I have to travel to file a mesothelioma claim?
Our Indiana asbestos lawyers will come to you, wherever you may be and whenever it’s convenient for you. We will travel to meet with you in the comfort of your own home or in a location of your choosing.
Though we can’t guarantee you won’t ever have to travel during your case, it’s very unlikely you will need to leave the area you live in to receive compensation.
