Asbestos Cardholders
Do You Still Have Your Client Identification Card? You May Very Well Still Have a Case.
If you were a former client of one of the firm’s asbestos litigation projects, you likely received a laminated identification card. Many of these cards still exist; they were laminated and had an alert for Emergency Room doctors on the back. Over the years, many former clients have moved to different states due to job relocations, retirement, or shipyard and tire factory closures. When serious health issues arise, they or their family members often find Gordon online and seek answers to pressing questions like:
1. Am I Still Eligible to Sue for Asbestos Exposure? - Many wonder if they can still sue for monetary damages related to asbestos exposure.
2. Linking Health Issues to Asbestos - How do you determine if your or your family member’s health issues were caused by asbestos?
3. Where to File the Lawsuit? - Is the state you currently reside in the best jurisdiction for taking legal action against asbestos manufacturers?
4. Faster and Higher Verdicts - Can you still file a lawsuit in California or another state where cases tend to move more quickly and verdicts are often higher?
5. I can’t find my Project ID Card – Does this affect my rights to seek compensation?
Gordon Can Provide Answers and Guide You Through Your Next Steps
The firm has successfully directed out-of-state residents to top-notch asbestos litigation firms in beneficial jurisdictions. For example, a retired shipyard worker living in Nevada was able to file his case in San Francisco and go to trial within just eight months. He only had to be present for 2-3 days during the trial. Similarly, an Oregon family dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis had their wrongful death case filed in San Francisco within a month. In the case of the client who lived in Nevada, his lawsuit proceeded to a jury trial, resulting in a substantial recovery. Though he has now passed away, his sons are still receiving settlements from the Asbestos Settlement Trusts. The family from Oregon filed suit in 2018. Both judicial and Asbestos Trust settlements have been continuing as their case remains poised for a jury trial.
