What this docket is about

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure, with a typical 20 to 50 year latency between exposure and diagnosis. Even brief exposures can be sufficient. Recovery may be available against the manufacturers of the asbestos-containing products, against asbestos trust funds established for legacy exposures, and against premises owners. Massachusetts has a particularly active asbestos docket given the state's industrial and shipyard history.

Who may qualify

The firm screens for the following criteria. Meeting all of them is not a guarantee of acceptance; the actual evaluation happens in conversation with the firm.

Diagnosed with mesothelioma (pleural or peritoneal)
Have a history of asbestos exposure (occupational, military, or secondary household)
Diagnosis is recent (the discovery rule under M.G.L. c. 260 § 2D extends limitations from the date of diagnosis, not the date of exposure)
Were exposed in Massachusetts or initially diagnosed in Massachusetts
