Welcome to the Vermont Mesothelioma Law Firm: Fighting for Your Rights

The Devastating Effects of Mesothelioma

When you or a loved one is diagnosed with mesothelioma, it can be a devastating time in your life. This rare and aggressive form of cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos, a toxic mineral that was once widely used in American industries. While exposure to asbestos was common in the past, the companies that used it knew about the dangers and failed to warn their workers. Today, those who have been affected by mesothelioma have legal rights, and our firm is here to help them fight for the compensation and justice they deserve.
