Asbestos / Mesothelioma

Texas Asbestosis, Mesothelioma Attorney

Were you exposed to asbestos or benzene while on the job in Texas or elsewhere in the country? If your health has taken a turn for the worst as a result, I want to know about it. I'm the kind of lawyer who can make things right for you and your family and work hard to secure the just and fair compensation you deserve. I've been helping people just like you, not insurance companies that would oppose you, for almost 20 years.

I'm Anthony W. Hernandez, and I have served South Texas for almost two decades from my law office in Webster. Your mesothelioma, asbestosis or benzene case is my top priority, whether in the Lone Star state or somewhere else in the nation. Government employees who worked aboard ships in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and have since been stricken by either of these devastating illnesses, should know that they have a friend and champion at this law firm.

Representing Injured Victims, Not Insurance Companies

Mesothelioma is a malignant cancer of the lining of the lungs, heart or abdomen that is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Most confirmed mesothelioma victims are given eight to 12 months to live. Even with early detection and the best treatment available, the average five-year survival rate is only about 20 percent.

In addition to mesothelioma, workplace asbestos exposure can also increase the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis and other diseases of the larynx and kidneys.

Benzene is known to be the cause of cancer and various kinds of acute and chronic leukemia, as well as non-Hodgkins lymphoma and aplastic anemia. These illnesses may affect you shortly after exposure to benzene or may take years to develop.

Petroleum and tire workers, painters and mechanics are among the groups of American workers who are exposed to benzene, both through inhaled fumes and contact with the skin, on a daily basis.

When you come to me with news of your illness, I'll confer with experts in the medical community for evidence that will prove your workplace exposure claims and establish a right to compensation. I will also speak with the doctor who conducted your original diagnosis and all others who have treated you.

Remember the Statute of Limitations

Every injury or illness claim is governed by an applicable statute of limitations that sets the time limit for filing a lawsuit. If your lawsuit isn't on file with the court in time, your claim could be dropped and your right to sue forfeited. Statutes of limitations vary depending on the type of claim and the jurisdiction, so if you believe that you may have a claim, please contact our Webster law offices immediately.
