Representing Mesothelioma Clients in California

We stand up for men and women from the workforce exposed to asbestos. Our goal is to guide the client and their family through the path to justice and their new life post-diagnosis. Our firm provides peace through strength during a very difficult time.

California is one of the states most affected by mesothelioma cases. Industries that heavily relied on asbestos include construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing—many of which were central to California’s economy for decades. 

California’s naval shipyards, such as the Long Beach Naval Shipyard and the San Francisco Bay Area’s Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, were asbestos exposure hotspots. Employers often exposed veterans and civilian workers who spent years building, repairing, or dismantling ships in these areas to dangerous asbestos fibers.

Additionally, many industrial facilities and factories across California used asbestos in machinery, building materials, and insulation. Construction workers, electricians, and mechanics were particularly at risk, as building materials such as drywall, insulation, and pipe coverings often contained asbestos, exposing many Californians to this harmful substance for years.

Legal Knowledge

At Vogelzang Law, we understand the specific challenges of filing a mesothelioma claim in California. The state’s laws offer several pathways to compensation, including personal injury claims, wrongful death lawsuits, and claims filed with asbestos trust funds. 

California’s legal system also allows for expedited trials for individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses like mesothelioma, ensuring that your case can move forward quickly when time is critical.

With our nationwide reach and deep understanding of California’s industries, history, and legal system, we are uniquely positioned to handle your mesothelioma claim. Our experienced lawyers will track down the responsible parties and fight for the justice you deserve.

Manufacturers Knew Asbestos Was Dangerous—We Hold Them Accountable

The story of asbestos is one of corporate greed and indifference to human life. For decades, manufacturers knew asbestos was deadly. They had evidence linking asbestos exposure to serious diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer, but rather than warning the public or finding safer alternatives, they chose to prioritize profits.

Asbestos was inexpensive and readily available, so companies continued to use it in their products, fully aware that people would suffer. At Vogelzang Law, we’re committed to holding these corporations accountable for their unacceptable negligence.

Our lawyers have spent years uncovering the truth about asbestos exposure, tracing the manufacturers and companies responsible, and building strong cases to ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

Mesothelioma Compensation: What Are Your Options?

Mesothelioma patients and their families often face mounting medical bills, lost wages, and other financial hardships. Filing a lawsuit can help you recover compensation to ease these burdens.

At Vogelzang Law, we explore every possible avenue to maximize your compensation, which may include:

  • Lawsuits Against Manufacturers: Many companies that used asbestos in their products must pay for the damage caused, even decades later. Our attorneys know how to investigate your exposure history and identify the responsible parties.
  • Asbestos Trust Funds: Some asbestos companies have gone bankrupt, but established trust funds to compensate victims. We can help you file claims with these funds to seek compensation.
  • Workers’ Compensation Claims: If your workplace exposed you to asbestos, you might qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. We can guide you through the process and help you pursue all available claims.
  • Wrongful Death Claims: If you lost a loved one to mesothelioma, you might file a wrongful death lawsuit to hold those responsible accountable.
Don’t Wait to Pursue Justice

You may feel unsure about pursuing a lawsuit or worry about the stress it will cause you. Rest assured that Vogelzang Law makes the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We handle all the legal legwork so you can focus on your health and spend time with your loved ones.
