Whenever we are selecting a jury in our asbestos-injury cases we hear from the majority of the juror candidates that they believe there are “too many lawsuits today” and that too many of these lawsuits are “frivolous.” The legal definition of frivolous is “of little weight or importance.” The average person’s usage of the term [...]

We recently posted two articles that point to the importance of early diagnosis of mesothelioma in guiding and expanding treatment options. Most patients develop mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos on the job, although some are exposed environmentally or by second-hand means.
