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

Why choose a San Jose mesothelioma lawyer for aerospace and tech industry exposure?
San Jose mesothelioma lawyers have deep knowledge of Silicon Valley aerospace and technology industry asbestos exposure sites, including Lockheed Martin Space Systems, NASA Ames Research Center, FMC Corporation (now BAE Systems), IBM facilities, and major commercial construction projects. Our local expertise with California asbestos laws ensures maximum compensation for aerospace workers, engineers, tech industry employees, and construction workers exposed to asbestos in Santa Clara County.
What was the asbestos exposure at Lockheed Martin facilities in San Jose?
Lockheed Martin's San Jose aerospace facilities exposed thousands of workers to asbestos from the 1940s through 1990s. Aerospace manufacturing, missile production, satellite systems, and space vehicle construction used extensive asbestos in insulation, heat shields, gaskets, adhesives, electrical components, and building materials. Engineers, technicians, machinists, electricians, and production workers faced significant asbestos exposure during aerospace manufacturing and facility maintenance.
How were workers exposed to asbestos at NASA Ames Research Center?
NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View (adjacent to San Jose) exposed employees and contractors to asbestos in wind tunnels, aerospace testing facilities, research laboratories, office buildings, and mechanical systems from the 1940s-1980s. Asbestos insulation, fireproofing, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, and thermal protection materials were used throughout the research complex. Scientists, engineers, technicians, maintenance workers, and contractors faced asbestos exposure.
What asbestos exposure occurred at FMC Corporation (BAE Systems) in San Jose?
FMC Corporation (now BAE Systems) operated military vehicle and tracked vehicle manufacturing facilities in San Jose that exposed workers to asbestos in tank production, armored vehicle manufacturing, brake systems, gaskets, insulation, and fireproofing materials. Welders, mechanics, assemblers, electricians, and production workers handling military equipment components faced significant asbestos fiber exposure from the 1940s through 1980s.
Were IBM employees in San Jose exposed to asbestos?
IBM's massive San Jose manufacturing and research facilities exposed employees to asbestos in building materials, insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, HVAC systems, electrical components, and cleanroom environments from the 1950s-1980s. Engineers, technicians, maintenance workers, construction contractors, and facilities personnel working in IBM's silicon chip production, hard disk drive manufacturing, and research laboratories faced asbestos exposure during building construction, renovation, and maintenance.
How were San Jose construction workers exposed to asbestos?
San Jose construction workers were exposed to asbestos during the city's massive commercial and residential development boom from 1950s-1980s. High-rise office buildings, tech campuses (Apple, Google, Adobe, eBay headquarters), shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and residential developments used asbestos in insulation, drywall compound, floor tiles, roofing materials, ceiling tiles, adhesives, and fireproofing. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, drywallers, roofers, and demolition workers faced extensive asbestos exposure.
Can aerospace engineers with mesothelioma file lawsuits?
Yes. Aerospace engineers, technicians, and production workers who developed mesothelioma from exposure at Lockheed Martin, NASA Ames, FMC/BAE Systems, or other Silicon Valley aerospace facilities can file lawsuits against asbestos product manufacturers, contractors, and equipment suppliers. We identify all responsible parties, file claims with asbestos bankruptcy trusts, and pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
What compensation can San Jose mesothelioma victims receive?
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. California juries have awarded substantial verdicts to aerospace workers, tech industry employees, and construction workers. Our cases involve multiple defendants and asbestos trust fund claims to maximize total compensation beyond individual lawsuit settlements.
What is the statute of limitations for San Jose mesothelioma lawsuits?
California has a one-year statute of limitations from the date of mesothelioma diagnosis for personal injury claims. Wrongful death claims must be filed within one year of the victim's death. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 36 provides expedited trial preference for terminally ill plaintiffs. Contact a San Jose mesothelioma lawyer immediately after diagnosis to protect your legal rights and preserve evidence.
Can tech industry workers with mesothelioma file claims?
Yes. Tech industry workers who developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure at IBM, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, or other Silicon Valley technology facilities can file mesothelioma lawsuits. Asbestos was used in manufacturing cleanrooms, research facilities, data centers, HVAC systems, and building materials. We investigate your work history, identify asbestos-containing products and materials, and file claims against all responsible manufacturers and contractors.
How were workers exposed at San Jose Airport and transit projects?
San Jose International Airport construction, renovation, and maintenance exposed workers to asbestos in terminals, hangars, mechanical rooms, insulation, and fireproofing materials from the 1960s-1980s. VTA light rail construction, BART extension projects, and Caltrain facilities also involved asbestos-containing materials. Airport workers, transit construction crews, mechanics, and electricians faced asbestos exposure during building trades work.
Can family members of San Jose asbestos workers file claims?
Yes. Family members who developed mesothelioma from secondhand asbestos exposure (washing work clothes, living near aerospace facilities, household exposure from workers' contaminated clothing) can file claims. Additionally, when a mesothelioma victim dies, surviving family members can file wrongful death lawsuits to recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages.
