What Is a Mesothelioma Law Firm?
Mesothelioma law firms have a narrow focus on asbestos exposure cases, which allows them to provide individual attention to every client. Such firms concentrate their practices on securing compensation for victims of asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma and holding corporations responsible for putting profits over people.
As a leading mesothelioma law firm in Washington and Oregon, Bergman Oslund Udo Little takes a holistic approach to mesothelioma cases in Washington and Oregon. We provide our clients with comprehensive representation, including education, service, advocacy, and litigation support. We’re committed to working closely with mesothelioma victims to tell the story of how mesothelioma has impacted our clients’ lives.
Why Choose a Specialized Law Firm?
Working with a specialized mesothelioma law firm on your case rather than a general injury firm guarantees that your attorney will have in-depth knowledge of local asbestos exposure sites, necessary medical evidence, and also specific legal strategies to maximize your compensation. Additionally, dedicated mesothelioma lawyers understand the toll a difficult diagnosis can take on a family and can guide you through the legal process with patience, experience, and compassion.
At Bergman Oslund Udo Little, our small team works closely with each of our clients and takes the necessary time to understand the impact of their diagnosis and build a personalized strategy to hold wrongdoers accountable. Our attorneys have a proven track record, achieving some of the highest settlements and largest jury verdicts in the Pacific Northwest.
How to Choose the Best Mesothelioma Law Firm
When searching for a mesothelioma law firm to represent you and your family, it’s important to seek out a firm with experience, positive client reviews, impressive case results, and a contingency fee structure. You need a firm that has won cases like yours before. That way, your lawyer will know the best strategies to tackle your case and give you the best chance at recovering maximum compensation.
Key Questions to Ask When Hiring a Mesothelioma Attorney
When trying to find the best asbestos law firm for you, here are some questions to ask:
- How many asbestos cases has your firm handled?
- What is your track record in securing settlements and verdicts?
- How do legal fees and costs work at your firm?
- Will I pay any money upfront?
- How much experience do your attorneys have?

Understanding Your Legal Options for Asbestos Compensation
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another disease after being exposed to asbestos, you may have several options for recovering compensation. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to pursue:
A Mesothelioma Lawsuit
A mesothelioma personal injury lawsuit allows someone diagnosed with mesothelioma to pursue financial compensation from those responsible for their asbestos exposure. Typically, this includes the manufacturers of the asbestos products to which they were exposed. Compensation from a mesothelioma lawsuit may be substantial and can cover damages like medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and household services.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Many asbestos product manufacturers filed for bankruptcy to shield themselves from mounting asbestos-exposure liability. They established trust funds to compensate past and future victims of asbestos exposure. Filing claims with these trust funds can provide a faster means of compensation while you wait for your lawsuit to resolve.
VA Benefits
If you were exposed to asbestos while serving in the military and have developed an asbestos-related illness like mesothelioma, you may be entitled to VA disability benefits. To qualify, you must submit medical documentation linking your condition to asbestos exposure during your military service.
A Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Family members and estate representatives of people who died of mesothelioma can file posthumous wrongful death lawsuits against asbestos product manufacturers on behalf of their deceased loved ones.
How Bergman Oslund Udo Little Helps Mesothelioma Victims
The first step in any mesothelioma case is a free consultation with the Bergman Oslund Udo Little team. We will gather information about your diagnosis, work history, and any possible sources of exposure to asbestos-containing materials. We’ll use this information to pinpoint who is responsible for your asbestos-related illness.
Then, we’ll gather evidence of your exposure and diagnosis, linking the two to prove causation. After deciding which legal route or routes to pursue for compensation, we will file a mesothelioma claim, negotiate a settlement, and take the case to trial if necessary. Our firm is committed to securing maximum compensation for every client, no matter how long it takes.

- A $5.75 Million Jury Verdict: We represented the family of a counselor who had worked as a brake mechanic at a Volkswagen dealership in Spokane during the 1970s and developed mesothelioma decades later. His family pursued justice via a wrongful death lawsuit against Volkswagen’s German and American subsidiaries, and the jury awarded the family $5.75 million in damages.
