Mesothelioma Attorneys in San Francisco
In the United States, we face around 3,000 new mesothelioma diagnoses each year. Unfortunately, we have yet to see a significant decline in the number of new mesothelioma diagnoses or in the associated mortality rate.
At Kazan, McClain, Lyons, Greenwood & Harley, PLC, we represent workers with serious asbestos-related illnesses, particularly mesothelioma, from all over the United States, as well as from Canada and Mexico. With more than 35 years as advocates for those injured by asbestos manufacture and products, we know that California courts generally offer a more sympathetic venue for asbestos victims seeking financial compensation for their injury. We examine the facts of each case carefully to determine whether we can file it in California.
But I do not live in California—will I be able to file my case there?
It might not matter much that you do not live in California. Courts decide whether they have the power—the jurisdiction—to hear and judge a case based on many factors, including the location of the defendants, whether the defendants do business in a given state, and whether the defendants have sufficient contact with the state that the state has a significant stake in regulating the defendants conduct.
Our experienced mesothelioma attorneys examine the details of your case to determine whether it can be brought in California courts. If not, we refer you to one of our associated attorneys in the proper jurisdiction and work closely with that attorney for the duration of your case.
But I do not live in California—should I choose a local law firm?
For many legal matters, local is better. But for complicated, specialized issues like asbestos litigation, the experience, expertise and skill of a law firm dedicated to those issues outweigh the convenience of a local law firm. At Kazan, McClain, Lyons, Greenwood & Harley, PLC, we have been major players in the development of California's asbestos-related laws and jurisprudence almost since the beginning of asbestos litigation in the state. We frequently help advocates for injured workers craft federal Supreme Court briefs, as well as briefings before the California Supreme Court.
