Understanding Your Right to Compensation

Mesothelioma is almost exclusively caused by exposure to asbestos, which was widely used in industrial, military, and construction materials for decades. If you or a loved one were exposed to asbestos and have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, you have the right to pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible companies.

The Law Office of Gregory M. McMahon LLC represents a diverse range of clients who were exposed in various occupational settings, including:

Types of Compensation We Pursue

The goal of your claim is to recover damages that restore financial security and provide justice for your suffering.

Our firm pursues compensation for:

Past and future medical expenses - Including all costs for treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, palliative care, and travel to specialty centers.
Lost wages and earning capacity - Compensation for income lost due to illness and the inability to work in the future.
Pain and suffering - Damages for the physical distress, emotional trauma, and loss of quality of life caused by the illness.
Wrongful death claims - If you have lost a loved one, we can file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover financial and non-financial losses, including funeral costs and loss of companionship.
Asbestos trust funds - We aggressively file claims against the over $30 billion held in bankruptcy trust funds established by bankrupt asbestos companies.
