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 do I find a San Diego mesothelioma lawyer?
- Contact Trembach Law for a free consultation. Our San Diego mesothelioma lawyers specialize in representing Navy veterans, shipyard workers, and military personnel exposed to asbestos at San Diego Naval Base, NASSCO Shipyard, Camp Pendleton, and other Southern California military facilities. We work on contingency - you pay nothing unless we win.
- What San Diego military facilities exposed service members to asbestos?
- Major San Diego asbestos exposure sites include San Diego Naval Base (32nd Street), NASSCO Shipyard, Camp Pendleton, Naval Air Station North Island, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, Naval Base Point Loma, and MCAS Miramar. Thousands of sailors, Marines, and shipyard workers were exposed to asbestos-containing materials during ship construction, repair, and maintenance.
- Can San Diego Navy veterans file mesothelioma claims?
- Yes. Navy veterans exposed to asbestos at San Diego Naval Base, NASSCO, North Island, or aboard ships can file both VA disability claims and civil lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers. Our San Diego mesothelioma lawyers specialize in Navy veteran claims and understand the unique challenges of military asbestos exposure cases.
- What is the average mesothelioma settlement in San Diego?
- 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. Navy veteran and shipyard worker cases often result in higher compensation due to extensive asbestos exposure and clear liability. Settlement values depend on exposure history, disease stage, and liable parties.
- How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in San Diego?
- California gives one year under CCP § 340.2, running from the later of disability — loss of time from work precluding the regular occupation — or discovery that asbestos caused it, not from diagnosis. Wrongful death claims must be filed within one year of death. Contact a San Diego mesothelioma lawyer immediately after diagnosis to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
- What compensation is available for San Diego mesothelioma victims?
- San Diego mesothelioma victims may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages through lawsuits and asbestos trust fund claims. Navy veterans can also pursue VA disability benefits. Over $30 billion is available in bankruptcy trust funds for asbestos victims.
- Do San Diego mesothelioma lawyers offer free consultations?
- Yes. Trembach Law offers free case evaluations for all San Diego mesothelioma cases. We work on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our San Diego lawyers will evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and fight for maximum compensation.
- How long does a San Diego mesothelioma lawsuit take?
- Thanks to California expedited trial preference (CCP Section 36), San Diego mesothelioma cases move faster than typical litigation. Settlements often occur within 6-12 months; trials typically conclude within 12-18 months. Our San Diego attorneys prioritize swift resolution to ensure compensation during treatment.
- What types of asbestos cases do San Diego lawyers handle?
- Our San Diego mesothelioma attorneys handle Navy veteran claims, shipyard worker exposure, Marine Corps asbestos claims, aerospace worker exposure, construction worker claims, secondary (take-home) exposure, and wrongful death cases. We represent all San Diego County residents exposed to asbestos at military facilities, shipyards, industrial sites, and commercial buildings.
- Can family members of San Diego mesothelioma victims file wrongful death claims?
- Yes. Surviving family members can file wrongful death lawsuits when a loved one dies from mesothelioma. Our San Diego wrongful death attorneys help families recover compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship. We understand the emotional and financial burden mesothelioma places on San Diego families.
- What is NASSCO Shipyard and why is it important for mesothelioma cases?
- National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) is San Diego's largest shipyard and one of California's most significant asbestos exposure sites. From the 1960s through 1980s, NASSCO workers built and repaired Navy ships containing massive amounts of asbestos. Thousands of pipefitters, welders, electricians, and other shipyard workers were exposed to deadly asbestos fibers.
- How do I prove asbestos exposure at San Diego Naval Base?
- Our San Diego mesothelioma lawyers obtain military service records, ship histories, DD-214 forms, and employment documentation proving your asbestos exposure. We work with Navy experts and industrial hygienists who testify about asbestos-containing products on specific ships and at San Diego naval facilities. We handle all investigation and evidence gathering.
