Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How were aerospace workers exposed to asbestos?
- Aerospace workers faced asbestos exposure from aircraft brakes, engine insulation, heat shields, gaskets, adhesives, electrical wiring, floor tiles, and thermal protection systems. Military aircraft, commercial planes, and spacecraft all contained asbestos components through the 1980s.
- Which California aerospace companies used asbestos?
- Major California aerospace employers with documented asbestos use include Northrop Grumman, Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas), Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Hughes Aircraft, Rockwell International, and numerous subcontractors throughout Southern California.
- What is the average mesothelioma settlement for aerospace workers?
- No reliable average exists, and a quoted range says little about any particular claim: value follows the strength of the liability evidence, the documented injuries and economic loss, comparative fault, and the coverage actually available. Cases involving multiple employers or extended exposure periods may exceed $3 million.
- Can I sue if the aerospace company went bankrupt?
- Yes. Many former aerospace suppliers who manufactured asbestos products have established bankruptcy trust funds specifically to compensate victims. These trusts hold billions of dollars for mesothelioma claimants.
- How long do I have to file an aerospace worker mesothelioma lawsuit in California?
- Under CCP § 340.2 the period is one year, running from the later of disability — loss of time from work precluding the regular occupation — or discovery that asbestos caused it, not from diagnosis.
- Does working on military aircraft qualify for VA benefits and lawsuits?
- Yes. Aerospace workers who handled military aircraft may qualify for VA disability benefits (100% rating for mesothelioma) plus civil lawsuits against manufacturers and contractors.
- What job titles are covered in aerospace asbestos claims?
- Covered positions include aircraft mechanics, sheet metal workers, electricians, machinists, assemblers, quality inspectors, engineers, welders, painters, brake technicians, insulation workers, and anyone who worked in aerospace manufacturing facilities.
- Is there a time limit on when exposure occurred?
- No. Mesothelioma has a latency period of 20-50 years, meaning workers exposed in the 1960s-1980s are being diagnosed today. California law allows claims regardless of when exposure occurred.
