When Your Back Is Against The Wall

North Carolina Asbestos Exposure Attorneys

Representing Clients Diagnosed with Asbestos-Related Illnesses

Asbestos is a fibrous, naturally occurring material with heat- and fire-resistant properties. Because of this, it has a long history of use in the construction industry throughout the United States. Homes across the country were constructed with asbestos-containing materials, despite proof that the dangerous of asbestos have been documented—and covered up by the asbestos industry—since the turn of the 20^th Century. Despite its known dangers, asbestos was used in a variety of products that were then distributed and sold throughout the U.S. up until the late 1970s. Today, asbestos is still not entirely banned in the U.S.

If you or someone you love was diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness or condition, such as asbestosis or mesothelioma, after continued and prolonged asbestos exposure, you may be entitled to compensation. Depending on the specifics of your case, you may have grounds for a workplace accident/injury claim or you may seek action against a specific manufacturer, distributor, or related entity. The North Carolina asbestos exposure lawyers at Lanier Law Group can help you determine your legal rights and options.

How Does Asbestos Exposure Lead to Injuries & Illness?

When asbestos is agitated, it sends microscopic fibers into the air where they can then be inhaled. Once in the lungs, the tiny asbestos particles embed in the tissue surrounding the lungs. They can also embed in the tissue around the stomach, heart, or other parts of the body. These tiny fibers often remain unnoticed for many years until painful and harmful symptoms begin to appear.

While direct exposure to asbestos causes the most risk of asbestos-related illness, some scientists believe that even washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can increase the risk of mesothelioma and other similar conditions.

At Lanier Law Group, we have extensive experience helping individuals who were exposed to asbestos obtain fair compensation for their damages. When you work with us, you have a team of tireless fighters in your corner.

Exposure to Toxic Fumes

In addition to asbestos, construction workers are often exposed to other harmful substances. Modern construction methods involve the use of a variety of toxic chemicals, including those found in glues and solvents. Other toxic chemicals, such as benzene, are components of construction products, while still others, including dioxin, are byproducts of industrial processes.

Workers throughout the state of North Carolina who are regularly exposed to these chemicals may develop life-threatening diseases. If you have contracted an illness that you believe was caused by your job, you may be able to obtain workers’ compensation in North Carolina.

Chemicals—such as benzene, dioxin, and those found in solvents and two-part glues—can cause the following injuries:

Brain damage
Cancer
Parkinson’s disease
Asthma
Leukemia

From our hard-working staff to our highly qualified attorneys, everyone at the Lanier Law is focused on helping you get the justice and fair recovery you are owed.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
