Ok well a friend of mine is going through a lawsuit about some asbestos where he formerly worked. It was a paper mill that was around his family and most of his family and friends worked there(The mill closed down like in the early 90s). A lawyer approached him and his family/friends telling them that they had a case. So they went ahead and sued and for over 10 years the case has been in the process. Now the case is supposedly settled. He called the lawyer and the lawyer says its supposed to be millions but he doesn't know the exact amount. Some people in his family have died from brain damage, cancer, etc. which we don't know if its asbestos related it could have been. The lawyer says you only get money if you have some kind of birth defect but you don't get money for the brother/sister, mother/father that you lost that was possibly from the asbestos in the mill. Do you think this case is fishy? I think its strange that they don't know how much money him and his family are getting....
I KNOW THIS IS P &S ALL THE OTHER SECTIONS ARE EMPTY!...Also the case was held in Texas and we're in Louisiana so all the court dates or whatever were never attended by him or his family/friends only by the lawyer. So no one knows what went on in the court room. His family trusts the lawyer with everything! They think that he's going to do everything honestly but I was trying to tell them that lawyers are crooks and you can't trust them to handle everything for you. Next week the family is supposed to sign to close the case and he still doesn't know how much each family will receive. He says after they sign next week the checks will be sent out in the upcoming weeks. Plus there are some people in my friends family that weren't on the list anymore because they didn't have a birth defect...I think this is very fishy. Please tell me what do you think I should tell him to do because he feels that its stranger too. Thanks a million! ANYTHING would help me...I know this is long! =] x

My brother is the Executor of my father's will and doesn't want to give the information and right now he is nowhere to be found. I will llike to know if there is any way of finding this information this could be in NJ court, already call the court and they can't find it. They are telling me a need a docket number which I don't have or the lawyers do not want to provide. This has to do a with mesothelioma case.
Is there any coding for these cases and where can I find this info. The lawyers for this case are telling me they can't give me any info because I'm not the Executor in the case. Please help. If anyone knows who should I contact that could help. I have no money to hire a lawyer. If this is in the cour'ts public record do I have the right to have them?

One of these debilitating illnesses is mesothelioma. Mesothelioma continues to affect hundreds and even thousands of people each year, particularly in industrious cities such as San Diego and Los Angeles. If you've become the victim of an asbestos illness such as mesothelioma, it's time for you to contact an asbestos injury lawyer in your city today.

According to scientists, exposure to asbestos fibers is the only cause from which mesothelioma can be traced. The inhalation of asbestos is the cause of mesothelioma, which is an uncommon form of lung cancer. There is no other way yet proven in which mesothelioma can be contracted by a victim except through exposure to and inhalation of asbestos fibers. Because of the rarity of this cancer and the rarity of its acquisition, those who are responsible for informing their employees and customers of the potential hazards in working with or using asbestos for any purpose are legally liable for the illnesses that can result from exposure to the chemical. It is their moral, ethical, and legal duty to inform those working with or exposed to asbestos of the dangers related to this dangerous toxin. It is also their responsibility to train their employees or other potential victims how they can safely handle asbestos and their cancer-causing fibers. If you were unaware and uninformed that you were in danger of an asbestos-related illness such as mesothelioma, an asbestos injury lawyer in Los Angeles and San Diego will fight for your rights as a victim of another's negligence.

It is literally impossible to see most asbestos fibers with the naked eye. They are typically hundreds of times smaller than the average width of a single human hair and will continue to break into even smaller fragments with time. This makes the fibers more easily airborne and more easily inhaled by those who work in an environment in which asbestos is present. Since the connection between asbestos and mesothelioma was made in the 1960's here in the United States, it has been banned from use by the government in many areas of business. One area of business in which it may still be commonly present, however, is construction. With the continual population growth in California, particularly in San Diego and Los Angeles, it is common to see large scale apartment complexes and individual homes going up all over these cities. Those who live in these construction areas or who work in this industry are potentially at risk to contract mesothelioma. If you've contracted mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, you should consult and asbestos injury lawyer as soon as you've been diagnosed. He or she will be able to help you and your family receive monetary compensation for the pain you are enduring from those who were negligent in warning you of the health risks associated with exposure to asbestos.

I've noticed it for a while. But now I've decided to ask.

Is t really so common? Can they really make that much money off it?
Well, that's the part I understand. But What is Mesothelioma. And how do lawyers use it to their advantage?

Who is this guy and is he suing everybody for everything? Look, you have the right to sue in civil court if you were done wrong. But how much is James Sokolove going to keep if you are awarded damages? 10% sounds ok. It will be much more than that I'm sure. Does anybody know? Do such lawyers really care if you receive damages or are they only out to make money?

Really? Why doesn't he charge less?
