Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

At Gori Julian & Associates, P.C. in Edwardsville, Illinois, we have helped thousands of people recover compensation for devastating personal losses resulting from exposure to asbestos — over $1 billion in all. Our firm handles asbestos lung disease and mesothelioma lawsuits nationwide on behalf of auto mechanics, pipe fitters, railroad employees, retired military personnel and others who have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace. We have also helped people who were exposed to asbestos in their homes — from family members who carried the fibers with them from work and from many household products that were manufactured with asbestos.

Our attorneys have an enormous amount of knowledge and resources to draw from in handling new cases having been involved in asbestos litigation since the mid-1990s. For this reason, we don't have to waste precious time looking for the information about asbestos products, employers and other matters that we'll need to prepare your case. We already know many of the answers and can draw from resources that include thousands of depositions taken in connection with asbestos and mesothelioma cases, asbestos product descriptions, manufacturer's information and other documents that represent decades of painstaking research and case details.

On a personal level, we can start helping you immediately — by answering your questions, serving as a source of information, putting you in touch with support services, and even by recommending leading physicians in your area whom we're familiar with from our work with previous clients. Timely results are important. Our firm works diligently to secure trial dates for our clients in a timely and efficient manner.

Practice Areas Description

- Asbestos Mesothelioma

At Gori Julian & Associates, P.C., we have handled thousands of asbestos exposure claims and hundreds of mesothelioma lawsuits on behalf of people here in Madison County, Illinois, where our office is located — and on behalf of people throughout the United States.

- Asbestos Cancer

In as many as two out of every three cases, people diagnosed with mesothelioma have one thing in common: Asbestos exposure. They either worked directly with asbestos-laden products in their occupation; worked in an environment such as a shipyard where asbestos exposure is likely; or they lived with someone who could have carried asbestos fibers into the home on their work clothing.

- Asbestos Cause Lung Cancer

Yes, in addition to mesothelioma and the non-cancerous disease asbestosis (scarring of the lungs) — asbestos exposure can lead to lung cancer as well. The two common types of asbestos-related lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

- Mesothelioma Resources

Your job description never said anything about the health risks associated with asbestos nor "require" you to inhale those small deadly fibers into your lungs — you did just the same and are now suffering from mesothelioma or another type of asbestos-related disease because of it.

The source? It could have been the drywall you used to install. It could have been the boiler insulation you worked with in the shipyards. It could have come from working near people who were cutting and grinding pipe gaskets.

- Asbestos Exposure in the Workplace

Because asbestos was so widely used during the last century, millions of people worked in places where they were exposed to asbestos fibers. For some, the exposure was minimal. For others working in what we now know are high-risk occupations — asbestos exposure was a routine and pervasive part of daily employment.

- Military Asbestos Exposure

Today, military veterans, naval shipyard workers and other defense industry employees are developing mesothelioma and other medical conditions that have been linked to asbestos exposure at astoundingly disproportionate rates.

- Secondary Asbestos Exposure

While many are aware of the dangers posed by the widespread use of asbestos in American industries during the 20th century and the exposure risk for workers, few people realize the dangers of secondary exposure.

- Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts

In media stories about asbestos, one of the points that gets hammered on again and again deals with the number of companies that have been forced into bankruptcy because of litigation. More than 70 companies in all, the accounts say.
