How Vogelzang Law’s Portage Asbestos and Mesothelioma Lawyers Can Help You With Your Case

At Vogelzang Law, we’re committed to doing everything possible to ensure a positive outcome in your asbestos or toxic chemical claim. This commitment extends to:

  • Investigating to uncover the full scope of exposure and negligence involved    
  • Accessing resources like medical experts and databases of job sites with asbestos materials
  • Reviewing regulations surrounding asbestos bankruptcy trusts
  • Compiling irrefutable evidence of fault and damages to maximize payouts  
  • Calculating current and future costs of treating a disease
  • Estimating lost income and earning potential in settlement negotiations
  • Battling against corporate legal teams to ensure victims receive full compensation for their claims

Without attorneys devoted to asbestos cases, victims often recover only a small fraction of the compensation they’re owed.

You’ll find the legal hurdles more than you can handle if you don’t rely on an attorney’s help and understanding of personal injury law.

Why You Need an Experienced Asbestos Attorney

Unfortunately, in the past, many companies chose profits over safety, willfully exposing their workers to asbestos despite knowing the risks. That’s why they should be liable for their actions. Unfortunately, asbestos litigation can be complicated, and you might face an uphill battle when pursuing a claim.

Never face this battle alone without our asbestos attorneys from Vogelzang Law. The right professional representation can take the stress of the process off your shoulders.

Our attorneys mostly focus on asbestos-related litigation, representing clients suffering from asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other serious conditions. We have the resources and network to prove asbestos injury claims, and we can evaluate whether you qualify for compensation.

Vogelzang Law's Proven Record of Success

Our steadfast dedication to asbestos victims has produced impressive results at Vogelzang Law.

Moreover, our proficiency in this legal niche allows us to resolve the typical mesothelioma case in nine months to a year. We’ll explore every resource where our clients may receive compensation during this time.

In even the most complex cases, our firm’s attorneys leverage their skills and experience so we can recover maximum payouts for clients. Individual settlement amounts have ranged from thousands to millions of dollars based on disease type, exposure levels, economic losses, and similar factors.

We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront or out-of-pocket costs. We only get paid after securing a verdict or settlement, allowing victims to focus on their health without worrying about their bills and other financial concerns.

Other Cases We Manage

While Vogelzang Law was originally founded to advocate for asbestos victims, it also covers all areas of toxic tort litigation.

In addition to cases involving mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other asbestos-related diseases, our firm also represents clients seeking compensation for the following:

Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water Injuries

For over 30 years, generations of U.S. Marines and families at Camp Lejeune were exposed to industrial solvents, fuels, and other toxic compounds in the base’s drinking water. Vogelzang Law helps them pursue compensation for related cancers and other illnesses and diseases.

Hair Relaxer-Related Cancers and Reproductive Issues

Studies have linked prolonged use of hair relaxers and straighteners containing dangerous chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A to uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and reproductive health complications. Our firm advocates for women affected by these products.

Actos Bladder Cancer

Despite links between Actos and bladder cancer, drug maker Takeda Pharmaceuticals failed to adequately warn patients and doctors. Vogelzang Law holds them accountable for victims’ injuries.

Valsartan Contamination Cancers

Several manufacturers of Valsartan, a popular blood pressure medication, have been found distributing pills laced with cancer-causing chemicals like N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Vogelzang Law pursues damages from these negligent pharma companies.

Toxic Talcum Powder Lawsuits

Talcum powder products from companies like Johnson & Johnson have been found contaminated, putting users at risk of ovarian cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Whether the case involves a single victim of toxic exposure or a large-scale mass tort or class action lawsuit, Vogelzang Law’s attorneys possess the resources and legal experience to lead complex cases to successful resolutions.  

Complete Legal Support

From the initial consultation through settlement or trial verdict, Vogelzang Law guides asbestos victims through each step with empathy and understanding. Our firm knows the physical, emotional, and financial toll these diseases can take. 

What to Bring to Your Case Evaluation

During the free case evaluation, prospective clients should come prepared with:

  • Medical documentation of their asbestos-related condition and treatments
  • Details on asbestos exposure history, including job site details  
  • Any evidence of employer negligence, like safety memos or photographs
  • Income information and records showing financial losses and costs 
  • Witness contact information for exposure testimony
  • Health insurance details regarding coverage and out-of-pocket expenses

The assessment of the above documents allows our attorneys to honestly assess a case’s merits and projected compensation. You will then have the facts needed to decide if pursuing legal action is something you want to do

During the legal process, we are committed to communicating regularly with our clients, ensuring they are never in the dark about the status or direction of their case.

Why You Need to Act Now

Illinois has a strict two-year window known as the statute of limitations for asbestos victims. This is the deadline to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim.

By contacting Vogelzang Law as soon as possible, our investigators can immediately work on gathering all the required evidence – evidence that becomes more difficult to collect over time. The sooner you retain legal services, the sooner you can receive the compensation you need and deserve.
