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.

Our Calabasas office at 27001 Agoura Road serves clients throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties with personalized, compassionate representation.
- What Calabasas-area industries exposed workers to asbestos?
- Calabasas and surrounding areas had significant asbestos exposure from aerospace facilities (Rocketdyne/Boeing Santa Susana Field Laboratory), construction projects, oil refineries in nearby areas, entertainment industry facilities, commercial building construction, and automotive repair shops. Workers in these industries face elevated mesothelioma risk.
- Can I file a mesothelioma lawsuit if I worked in Calabasas?
- Yes. If you developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure while working in Calabasas or surrounding areas, you can file a lawsuit against responsible companies. California law provides strong protections for asbestos victims, including expedited trial preference and the ability to pursue punitive damages.
- What is the Santa Susana Field Laboratory asbestos exposure?
- The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (Rocketdyne/Boeing facility) near Calabasas was a major aerospace testing site where thousands of workers were exposed to asbestos in insulation, gaskets, and building materials from the 1950s-1980s. Many former employees and contractors have developed mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases.
- How much compensation can I receive for mesothelioma in California?
- What a claim is actually worth turns on the documented medical course and prognosis, proven lost earnings, the share of fault attributed to the claimant, and the insurance limits available to pay a judgment. Many cases also involve asbestos trust fund claims that provide additional compensation.
- What is the statute of limitations for Calabasas mesothelioma cases?
- California has a one-year statute of limitations from the date of mesothelioma diagnosis. However, CCP Section 36 provides expedited trial preference for terminally ill plaintiffs, ensuring cases proceed quickly. Contact a Calabasas mesothelioma lawyer immediately after diagnosis.
- Do you handle cases for Calabasas construction workers with mesothelioma?
- Yes. Construction workers in Calabasas were heavily exposed to asbestos in commercial and residential building projects from the 1950s-1980s. We represent carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, drywall installers, and other trades who developed mesothelioma from workplace asbestos exposure.
- What if my loved one died from mesothelioma in Calabasas?
- California allows surviving family members to file wrongful death claims when a loved one dies from mesothelioma. These claims can recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and compensation for the deceased's pain and suffering. We handle these sensitive cases with compassion.
- Can Calabasas veterans with mesothelioma file claims?
- Yes. Veterans exposed to asbestos during military service (particularly Navy shipyard workers, mechanics, and construction personnel) can file VA disability claims for benefits and pursue civil lawsuits against asbestos product manufacturers. We help Calabasas-area veterans maximize both VA benefits and civil compensation.
- What makes your Calabasas mesothelioma law firm different?
- Our Calabasas office provides personalized, local service with the resources of a major mesothelioma law firm. We work on 100% contingency (no fees unless we win), advance all case costs, have extensive experience with California asbestos litigation, and pursue compensation from all available sources including asbestos bankruptcy trusts. We understand the urgency of mesothelioma cases and act quickly.
- How long does a Calabasas mesothelioma lawsuit take?
- With California's expedited trial preference (CCP Section 36), mesothelioma cases proceed much faster than typical lawsuits. Many cases settle within 6-12 months. If a trial is necessary, mesothelioma patients receive priority scheduling. We work efficiently to maximize your compensation as quickly as possible.
- What asbestos products were common in Calabasas workplaces?
- Common asbestos products in Calabasas-area workplaces included insulation (pipe covering, boiler insulation), gaskets and seals, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, joint compound, brake pads, clutches, electrical components, and fireproofing materials. We identify all responsible manufacturers for maximum compensation.
