If you or a loved one was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma, we know it is a difficult time for you and your family.

You can reach us 24/7 by calling 843-727-6500 It is very important to begin the process of documenting work sites and the types of asbestos products you were exposed to. We’ve found it can also help put your mind at ease.
It’s important to understand the following:
- Mesothelioma was preventable, but the asbestos industry worked hard to keep the negative health effects of their products hidden. As a result, millions more American workers and their families were exposed to asbestos. Each year, between 2,000–3,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma, an insidious cancer that crops up decades after exposure to asbestos. These hardworking people suffer because of what asbestos companies did, and the vast majority unfortunately will pass away from the cancer within a few years. We are proud to fight for these folks and their families.
- Knowledge is power. There are support groups and there is a wealth of information about the medical aspects of mesothelioma, including new treatments. Courts have a long history of awarding victims substantial compensation in properly presented mesothelioma cases. We encourage you to seek out the best medical and legal care you can find. They are both important.
- We stand ready to help. For more than 40 years, the attorneys at RPWB have worked with mesothelioma victims, providing information and skilled counsel so they make smart choices and achieve full compensation. In fact, in 1976, our firm’s attorneys were among the first in the country to successfully hold asbestos manufacturers accountable for causing mesothelioma. Since then, we have obtained impressive verdicts and settlements in nearly every state in the U.S. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including a $250 million verdict for a retired U.S. Steel employee who was diagnosed with mesothelioma. We are client-focused, accessible and forthcoming. You are more than a case to us.
