Help and Hope for Families Facing Mesothelioma
A mesothelioma diagnosis changes everything for a family in an instant. The fear. The questions. The overwhelming sense that your world just turned upside down. If that's where you are right now, you're in the right place. We made this video to help answer the questions you and your family undoubtedly have about what mesothelioma is, what the treatment options are, and what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.
What's in this video:
Understanding mesothelioma: what it is, how it develops, and why it's so aggressive
Treatment options explained by doctors who specialize in this disease
The legal history that created compensation options for families
Real talk from Justinian Lane about his family's experience with asbestos-related cancer
The video is about 45 minutes long. You don't need to watch it all at once, but many families tell us it answered questions they didn't even know to ask.
When You’re Ready for Hands-On Help, We’re Here
Understanding a mesothelioma diagnosis is the first step. Taking action is the next, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you need help finding the right specialist, navigating insurance, or pursuing compensation, we’ll guide you through each decision with clear options and zero pressure. We don’t just handle the legal side of your case; we help with the practical, emotional, and financial challenges too.
We Can Help Your Family Find and Fund the Best Mesothelioma Treatment for Your Situation.
Mesothelioma care is highly specialized, and outcomes are often better at facilities that treat this disease every day. We make it easier to say “yes” to the right care, even if it’s across the country. We can help:
Identify the right doctors and centers. We match your diagnosis and goals with hospitals that have proven mesothelioma experience (surgery, systemic therapy, clinical trials), then help you get records in front of the right team quickly.
Decode the medical details in plain English. We walk through your pathology report, staging, and scans so you understand what they mean, which options fit your situation, and what questions to ask at your consultations.
Advance travel and lodging costs when care is out of town. If the best option is in another city, we can front reasonable travel and housing expenses so finances don’t delay treatment. We also prioritize Social Security and Veteran's Administration benefits to reduce out-of-pocket strain.

We Can Help Take the Financial Pressure Off of Your Family Today and in the Years Ahead.
After the shock of a mesothelioma diagnosis begins to fade, the practical questions hit hard: How do we keep the mortgage or rent paid if someone has to stop working? Who covers utilities, groceries, and travel when a spouse becomes a full-time caregiver? What happens to health insurance if employment changes?
These are real, immediate stresses for most families. On top of that, treatment and travel can run well into six figures, especially when the right specialists are out of town. That’s why we focus on two timelines at once: getting steady monthly funds coming in quickly to ease the immediate pressure and pursuing larger recoveries that take longer but that can protect your family for the long run.
Sources of Immediate Monthly Support
Social Security Disability (SSDI), fast-tracked for mesothelioma. We prepare and file your application, coordinate medical records, and handle follow-ups so monthly payments can begin as soon as you’re approved, which is often much faster than a typical disability case.
VA benefits for veterans with asbestos exposure. We help document service-related exposure and disability ratings, navigate claims and appeals, and align VA benefits with other recovery paths so nothing gets left on the table.
Medicare/Medicaid + private insurance navigation. We can help manage prior authorizations, appeals, and out-of-network exceptions, reducing surprise bills and keeping treatment on schedule.
Workers’ compensation (when applicable). If your state and work history allow, we can pursue wage-replacement and medical benefits with minimal disruption to your care.
Long-term Protection For Your Family
Asbestos trust fund claims (tax-free). We identify every trust you qualify for, assemble the exposure proof, and file efficiently—bringing in meaningful compensation without requiring you to sit through a deposition or go to a courtroom.
Lawsuits against manufacturers and other responsible companies. When appropriate, we pursue the full value of the case in court or through settlement, which often results in seven and sometimes eight-figure resolutions. (On the other hand, many cases result in much smaller settlements. We'll give you our honest assessment of your case.)
Premises liability and other claims. Property owners, contractors, or suppliers who allowed others to be exposed to asbestos may also be held accountable; we ensure each responsible party contributes their share.
Since 2014, our firm has recovered over $400 million for families affected by asbestos diseases. If you’re ready, we’ll start the immediate benefits process and outline your long-term recovery options today.

We Can Give You the Human Connection You Need.
Our firm was founded by Justinian Lane, a cancer survivor who lost his father and both of his maternal grandparents to asbestos-related cancers. We know what this diagnosis means; it’s your loved one, your routines, your sleep, and your family's future. That experience shapes everything we do: we lead with compassion, plain talk, and respect.
Many of us come from blue-collar families and know what it means to work for a living. You don’t need a law degree or perfect grammar to talk to us. Bring your questions, your notes, your worries, even your anger. You can be yourself here. No "fronts" or "brave faces" required.
What a “human connection” looks like with us:
Plain-English conversations, never legalese. We explain options the way we’d want them explained to our own families, with honest pros and cons and zero pressure.
We meet you where you are. We fit the process around your treatment, work, and caregiving schedules, not ours. That means we're happy to speak or meet to you during the evening, over a weekend, or whenever else is convenient for you.
One steady point of contact. You’ll have a dedicated person who knows your story, checks in proactively, and answers quickly when something changes.
Respect for every background. Whether you’re a veteran, a refinery hand, a teacher, or a stay-at-home caregiver, your dignity and voice come first. We listen before we advise and we offer empathy, not judgment.
Support for the whole family. We help spouses and adult children understand what to expect, how to organize records, and how to take the next step together.
If you need a team that shows up as human beings first and lawyers second, that’s us. We’ll stand with you, speak to you straight, and carry as much of the load as we can while your family focuses on treatment and the road ahead.

Whether you're looking for answers, support, or a path forward, we're here to help however and whenever you need us. You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Just take the next step and give us a call at 833-4-ASBESTOS.
Here's what will happen when you do:
We listen. You tell us about the diagnosis, the timeline, and your biggest concerns. This usually takes 15-30 minutes.
We answer your questions. About treatment, about legal options, about what happens next. No legal jargon.
We start helping immediately (if you want us to). We can begin disability applications and medical travel arrangements within days.
No pressure, ever. If you need time to think, that's fine. If you want to talk to other firms, that's fine too. We're here when you're ready.
You won't be asked to pay anything upfront, make immediate decisions about lawsuits, or commit to anything you're not comfortable with. Our consultations are always free, and we'll spend the time it takes to answer all of your family's questions. We'll be here when you're ready.
