Frequently Asked Questions

1What does an attorney do in an asbestos exposure case?
An attorney who handles asbestos cases helps people diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses understand their legal options and take steps toward justice.

2Who can file a claim related to asbestos exposure?
People diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis or other diseases caused by asbestos exposure may be eligible to file a claim. This includes workers in high-risk jobs, and family members exposed secondhand. Our attorneys help clients pursue justice and financial recovery. To find out if you qualify, contact Brayton Purcell LLP.
3What symptoms should prompt me to contact an artificial stone silicosis lawyer?
Artificial stone silicosis symptoms often resemble asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, covid, sarcoidosis, or other common respiratory conditions. The disease can progress to the point of needing oxygen therapy or a lung transplant. It is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia, tuberculosis, COPD, or sarcoidosis. If you’ve fabricated artificial stone and developed any of these symptoms, contact Brayton Purcell LLP to discuss your situation.
4What compensation may be available in an artificial stone silicosis lawsuit?
An artificial stone silicosis lawsuit may provide compensation for economic loss such as medical bills, lost income, reduced life expectancy, and long-term care, as well as non-economic damages for pain and distress. Additional compensation may be available depending on your exposure and health impact. To discuss possible compensation in your case, contact Brayton Purcell LLP.
5Can I sue for a silica-related illness if I was exposed years ago?
Yes. The deadline to file a claim begins, not when you were exposed, but when you are diagnosed or when you should have reasonably known that the illness was linked to silica exposure. To find out whether you can still file a claim, contact Brayton Purcell LLP.
  • Brayton Purcell has done a lot of work for me and I appreciate very much what you’ve done, what everyone has done…Thank you very, very much and I appreciate everything that has been done.
  • I just wanted to thank you so very much for all the work that you’ve done for us. This has allowed me to help my daughter an awful lot…This allowed me to buy her her first home, also put away a savings bond and started a little annuity for her. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this had you not worked so hard to get the monies that you did. I just want to let you know I really appreciate it.
  • On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude for the way your firm handled my late husband’s case. Everyone that I dealt with was courteous, patient, and prompt in responding to my questions and concerns. Thank you very much for the excellent job, and most of all for your support during the process. Your guidance and the resolution to our case has brought closure to a difficult chapter in my life.
  • When The Brayton-Purcell Firm took my case I had almost given up hope of ever getting before a jury. I had a difficult and long standing case and had already been with two firms. Brayton-Purcell attorney Jason Rose worked closely with me, keeping me updated and giving me access to him which gave me a feeling of having someone truly on my side; a feeling that they were putting their whole effort into my case. Just getting this case a court date was an amazing feat. When we went to trial I met Gil Purcell and watched these two work professionally against great odds. They knew what they were doing, knew how to adapt to issues as they came up and all the while helped me hold up. We received a terrific verdict and are now in the appeal process. I have confidence that the Brayton-Purcell appellate team will be as competent and compassionate for me as my trial team was. Coming together with this firm has brought me a sense of confidence and peace that I wasn’t sure I was going to get a chance to feel.
  • I’d like to thank Brayton & Purcell for all the work your firm has done for me. I have asbestosis and without Brayton Purcell representing me the likelihood of getting compensated by asbestos manufacturers and the material suppliers of asbestos products would be zero. The law partners who run the show already know this, but I am going to write it down anyway. Every contact I had with anyone at Brayton Purcell LLP be it phone, fax, email and or personally, I’ve been treated courteously and promptly by your great employees.
  • From my first contact with your firm, I have been treated with respect, compassion, and in a most professional manner. …Nothing will ever take away this pain of loss but the settlement will help provide since I have health problems and am unable to work.
  • Your work has allowed us to continue to live our lives without fear of financial ruin and to be able to plan a future. . .
  • . . .Thank you for all you have done for me and for Bill before he died. You have been so caring. . .
