It’s frightening to think that particles inhaled decades ago can result in a life-threatening illness. It’s even more disturbing that companies that knew about the danger of  asbestos dust did nothing to protect workers from exposure. If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos and have been diagnosed with  mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases, you may be entitled to compensation and you should contact a mesothelioma lawyer. In fact, funds may have already been set aside for you.

For decades, the mesothelioma lawyers at SGB have been helping Washington families who have been hit with a mesothelioma diagnosis. We live here, we practice here, and for more than 40 years, our compassionate, tenacious mesothelioma lawyers have served people like you. Our mesothelioma lawyers have the local know-how—we know judges and juries, we know the products that have resulted in asbestos exposure, and we know the Washington shipyards, paper mills, and construction sites that failed to protect their workers.

Our mesothelioma lawyers know the law and we know how to win mesothelioma cases.

Settlements 

The SGB mesothelioma lawyers have successfully settled countless cases for victims of asbestos exposure over the past 40 years.  Settlements are almost always subject to confidentiality agreements.  We therefore limit and vaguely describe just a few examples. 

• SGB mesothelioma lawyers recovered $2.5 million for an insulator. 
• SGB mesothelioma lawyers  recovered over $2 million for someone who worked at a shipyard for a few months. 

Trial Verdicts 

We have taken 27 asbestos trials to verdict.  That’s the highest number of asbestos jury verdicts of any Washington law firm representing victims of asbestos exposure.  Below are a few examples of our successes. 

• SGB mesothelioma lawyers recovered $1.3 million.  The largest asbestos jury verdict in Kitsap County, Washington in any personal injury case for the family of a pipe fitter who suffered from mesothelioma. The Washington Supreme Court affirmed the verdict and struck down a legislative cap on damages. 
• SGB mesothelioma lawyers recovered over $1 million verdict in King County, Washington for a retired naval supply officer and his wife for mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos-containing insulation materials. 
• SGB mesothelioma lawyers recovered $1.5 million verdict in King County, Washington for a ship worker diagnosed with mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos in the Seattle shipyards. 
• SGB mesothelioma lawyers recovered $1.3 million settlement for a sheet metal worker who was diagnosed with mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos. 

DISCLAIMER: This is the fine print, but our fine print is regular size and in clear language.  These client quotes and settlement/verdict figures are examples of the results SGB mesothelioma lawyers have obtained for others. Their cases were different from yours, so your result is sure to be different.  We post these results for you to see that we have a track record of hard work, client service, and trial success.  We won’t guarantee the results of your case, but we will guarantee to bring the same passion, skill, and experience when we fight for you. 

Appeals 

The SGB mesothelioma lawyers’ work on asbestos cases has led to the development of the standards in Washington State concerning asbestos litigation.  When a case establishes a precedent or a rule that is helpful for all victims of asbestos exposure when it comes time to prove their case in court, attorneys call that, “making good law.”  When it comes to asbestos law in Washington, no law firm has made as much good law as SGB mesothelioma lawyers.  All victims of asbestos exposure in Washington benefit from the establishment of this Washington asbestos law.
