Kansas City Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma Claims

When asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they may become lodged in the lining of major organs like the lungs. These fibers can irritate healthy tissue for decades, causing mesothelioma to develop 10-50 years after exposure.

Our mesothelioma law firm has helped:

  • Over 6,000 families affected by asbestos exposure nationwide
  • Secure more than $9.6 billion from mesothelioma claims
  • Give our clients a powerful voice in the legal system for over 25 years

Companies knew the dangers when they used asbestos in their products — but they used it anyway, putting thousands at risk. We can help you hold these corporations accountable and pursue compensation for your family.

Our asbestos attorneys in Kansas City can handle every step of the legal process as we fight for justice on your behalf. There are no hourly fees or out-of-pocket costs to work with us.

Missouri has a unique set of laws called statutes of limitations that restrict the amount of time mesothelioma patients and their family members have to file a claim.

For this reason, it’s important to contact asbestos lawyers in Missouri as soon as possible after your diagnosis.

Stephanie’s Story

As a child, Stephanie was exposed to asbestos secondhand. Her father cut rocket motor parts at work, which released asbestos fibers into the air, and he unknowingly brought them home on his uniform.

Despite first being exposed to asbestos when she was barely old enough to walk, Stephanie developed mesothelioma. She sadly passed away when she was just 42 years old.

Her family worked with our Missouri mesothelioma attorneys to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While the company responsible tried to deny ever using asbestos in their products, we were able to prove that was a lie and secure compensation on their behalf.
