West Yarmouth and the surrounding Cape Cod area have long ties to maritime work, military operations, power generation, construction, and public infrastructure. For decades, asbestos was widely used in ships, ferry terminals, power facilities, and older buildings throughout the region.
Because mesothelioma often develops 20 to 50 years after exposure, many individuals exposed in the 1950s through the 1980s are only now receiving a diagnosis.
Exposure was not limited to shipyard workers. Many residents experienced secondhand exposure when asbestos fibers were brought home on work clothing or uniforms.
With a national reputation in asbestos litigation, the mesothelioma attorneys are dedicated to holding negligent companies accountable and securing justice for victims of asbestos exposure. For over three decades, our team has recovered more than $1 billion in compensation for individuals and families affected by mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer.
On this page, you can meet the attorneys who will stand by your side, explain your legal options, and fight tirelessly to protect your rights. Whether through settlements or trial verdicts, our mission is to achieve the best possible outcome while providing compassionate support every step of the way.
