How long will my claim or lawsuit take before I receive any money?
Our firm works hard to move your case as quickly as possible. However, if a lawsuit is filed, the time interval depends on the diagnosis of your illness. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related cancer such as mesothelioma, there are provisions in the local court that allow us to set your case for trial as soon as six months from the time we file your case. Each case is individual and special, and is handled by our firm with the utmost attention and care.

If we need to visit face-to-face, we come to you.
Will my case be part of a class action settlement?
No. Terrell Hogan handles each case individually in order to maximize the recovery.
What are some types of asbestos products that can cause cancer?
Pipe covering, block insulation, mud/cement, gaskets, packing, joint compound, brake shoes, clutch discs, pumps, valves, boilers, turbines, condensers, forced draft blowers, air conditioning ducts, electrical wire, and many more products can cause asbestos-related cancer.
