A mesothelioma diagnosis is devastating—not just medically, but emotionally and financially. This aggressive cancer is nearly always linked to exposure to asbestos, a once-common industrial material that many companies knew to be dangerous. When someone is diagnosed with mesothelioma, it’s not just a tragedy, it’s often the result of corporate negligence.
At Carmichael Law Group, we are here to help people across Alabama and Georgia seek justice.

How Does Asbestos Exposure Cause Mesothelioma?
For decades, asbestos was used in everything from insulation and brake pads to shipbuilding and industrial machinery. When asbestos fibers become airborne, they can be inhaled or swallowed, usually without the person realizing it. Tiny asbestos fibers can lodge in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart, causing inflammation, scarring, and ultimately, cancer.
Mesothelioma is a rare but extremely aggressive cancer that can take 20 to 50 years to develop. It is believed to be exclusively caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. By the time symptoms appear, the disease is often advanced. Treatment may help prolong life and relieve pain, but mesothelioma is almost always terminal. That’s one reason why taking legal action is so important: it can provide financial relief and help create a more secure future for the victim’s loved ones.
Common symptoms of mesothelioma include:
- Shortness of breath
- Persistent cough or chest pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue or weakness
- Swelling in the abdomen (for peritoneal mesothelioma)
- Difficulty swallowing
- Pain under the rib cage

Different Claims for Mesothelioma Exposure Clients
When someone is diagnosed with mesothelioma, or a loved one passes away from it, there are several legal options for pursuing compensation. The right type of claim will depend on the circumstances of the exposure, the responsible parties, and whether the person is still living. Our mesothelioma lawsuit attorneys can help you determine which type of claim or claims you should file and against what parties.
Types of mesothelioma claims that you might be able to file include:
- Personal injury claims: Filed by people who were exposed to asbestos and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
- Product liability claims: Target companies that made or sold asbestos-containing products without adequate warnings.
- Work injury claims: Pursued when exposure occurred in the workplace, potentially including claims against third-party contractors or manufacturers.
- Wrongful death claims: Filed by family members after a loved one passes away from mesothelioma or asbestosis complications.
Compensation in a Mesothelioma Claim
Mesothelioma lawsuits can result in financial compensation that helps you and your family financially recover. A wide range of losses, from overwhelming medical bills to emotional suffering and future lost income, can all be considered when filing an injury claim.
Types of compensation that may be available if we file a mesothelioma lawsuit on your behalf include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship or consortium
- Funeral and burial costs (for wrongful death cases)
Each state handles these claims differently, though. Whether you live in Alabama or Georgia, your case and what compensation you can demand may vary. Our attorneys represent clients in both states, so you can depend on us for clear guidance and representation.
