LOCAL MESOTHELIOMA COUNSEL THAT GETS RESULTS

As you are aware, mesothelioma lawsuits benefit greatly from the experience of local counsel and understanding the legal landscape in Massachusetts is critical to a successful outcome here. Our familiarity with state laws, the Judge and Special Master, the defense attorneys on the other side, and the local rules of discovery and deposition all serve to benefit your client. In fact, not following proper rules and procedures could lead to your client’s case being dismissed outright. Even improperly filling out a Plaintiff’s Disclosure Form can have serious ramifications for your case here, potentially precluding claims against liable defendants. 

As highly experienced mesothelioma attorneys, we are familiar with the full roster of potential defendants in cases filed in Massachusetts. We know all of the contractors, distributors, wholesalers, and suppliers who were involved in continuing to use asbestos-containing products throughout the state. Many mesothelioma cases in our state stem from specific job sites, projects or exposures, be they paper mills, navy ships, powerhouses, shipyards, high-rise office buildings, or a host of other workplaces. We are well-versed in the history of asbestos use in the state and are known and trusted advisors in the mesothelioma community in Massachusetts. Referring a case to Shepard O’Donnell ensures your client is in compassionate and capable hands.

A GROUNDBREAKING VERDICT IN TOBACCO LITIGATION 

Many people who have been diagnosed with lung cancer related to cigarette smoking don’t think they can win a tobacco lawsuit in Massachusetts, but that is not necessarily true: Shepard O’Donnell has extensive experience in navigating complex tobacco litigation and recently won a $43.1 million verdict against tobacco manufacturer R.J. Reynolds. As tobacco litigation becomes more difficult in many states across the country, multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements are still possible in Massachusetts. We welcome the opportunity to work with you as co-counsel on tobacco-related lawsuits.
