How Our Nationally Recognized Mesothelioma Law Firm Can Help You

Especially when you are first diagnosed with the aggressive cancer, finding mesothelioma medical assistance and legal help in Rochester can seem overwhelming. Annually, about 3,000 people nationwide are diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, a cancer whose only known cause is asbestos exposure. Still, this deadly cancer is considered a relatively rare disease.

That’s why when you seek legal aid in Rochester, it’s key to choose a law firm that is focused on assisting mesothelioma patients and their families.

At Belluck & Fox, our Rochester asbestos attorneys have been so successful in securing maximum compensation for mesothelioma patients because:

Our law firm has decades of experience in holding asbestos manufacturers accountable. We’ve seen the tactics that these companies employ to try to avoid paying compensation to asbestos victims and their families. And we know how to prove they are to blame for the sickness and harm they have caused.

Our legal team has the skills and the resources to document when and where you were exposed to asbestos. Over the years, our Rochester law firm has investigated thousands of claims against companies that have made or sold asbestos products. Our attorneys have amassed a huge amount of information about asbestos job sites and asbestos products not just across New York but across the United States. Our legal team has built an extensive library from this data and retains a solid team of experts to assist with our asbestos claims.

We will stop at nothing when it comes to holding the companies that hurt you accountable. Our strong commitment to seeing justice served is the only thing that matches our deep compassion for our clients. As one former client told us: “It must be so rewarding to know that someone was compensated for the negligence and deceit in knowingly allowing asbestos products to be sold and used.”

We are committed to making life better for you and your family. This dedication goes beyond our pursuit of full and fair compensation. We sympathize with the medical issues that our clients endure. We have extensive mesothelioma resources and support systems in Rochester and the surrounding areas to help you handle your diagnosis and decide on your next steps.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in Rochester

The cancer-causing mineral asbestos was used throughout Rochester and New York State for decades in products such as building materials, textiles, automotive brakes, fireproofing, valves, pumps and boilers. Asbestos products also were used in many public establishments such as housing, offices, schools, restaurants, bars and churches.

Although Rochester residents may have been exposed to asbestos decades ago, people continue to be diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and other asbestos-related diseases. The tragedy is that asbestos companies never warned New Yorkers that the fibers they worked with or were exposed to could one day sicken and kill them and their relatives.

If you or a family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or any other asbestos illness, you likely handled or breathed in the deadly fibers years ago at your workplace, in your home or during your time in the military. The top-rated Rochester asbestos attorneys at Belluck & Fox will help you determine which companies should be held liable for your exposure, and we will seek the full and fair financial compensation you deserve.

Industrial Asbestos Exposure in Rochester

Across Rochester, Monroe County and New York State, there are countless asbestos exposure job sites. People who were most at risk of coming into contact with microscopic asbestos fibers include:

• Construction workers
• Electricians
• Engineers
• Factory workers
• Plumbers
• Mechanics
• Maintenance workers
• Powerhouse workers
• Laborers
• Shipyard workers
• Navy veterans
• Merchant seamen

The Rochester mesothelioma law firm of Belluck & Fox has extensive records about the occupations most frequently exposed to asbestos and the companies that may have put people at risk. Our experienced mesothelioma attorneys can help you pinpoint how, where and when you were exposed to the carcinogen.

New York Mesothelioma Statute of Limitations

All states have statutes of limitations, or laws that limit the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit in various matters.

New York law states that you must file a claim in an asbestos case within three years from the date of diagnosis or – if you have lost a loved one to an asbestos-related disease – two years from the date of death. In some cases, though, the time limit may be limited to as short as 90 days.

Failure to comply with these deadlines means sacrificing your right to take legal action against the asbestos companies responsible for your illness or loss. The longer you wait to contact a knowledgeable lawyer, the less time you have to build a solid case for the maximum compensation you deserve.
