Since 1984, the trial attorneys at Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, P.C. have represented thousands of people injured by exposure to asbestos. We also have represented dozens of building-owners forced to remove asbestos from their buildings. Our office has handled claims against manufacturers of asbestos products in 17 states, including Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, California, Ohio and West Virginia. We have negotiated settlements of more than $100 million in asbestos personal injury and wrongful death actions and more than $120 million in asbestos-building contamination cases.

Asbestos fibers have been the cause of injury and death to many thousands of people in the United States. Lack of warning or appropriate safeguards caused many people to be unnecessarily exposed to these hazardous fibers. Unfortunately, many companies in the asbestos industry were aware of the health hazards of asbestos, yet failed to warn the users or put adequate warnings on the product. Some companies actually hid their knowledge of this hazard from their customers.

We have handled claims against more than 70 different companies in the asbestos industry who manufactured, sold, or used asbestos products. We also have handled claims against manufacturers of respiratory equipment that did not protect against asbestos fibers adequately. Our firm has established an extensive library of evidence documenting company knowledge of asbestos hazards.

By interviewing workers and obtaining records of sales from manufacturers and others, we have assembled a list of potential job sites where asbestos may have been used.

Through our representation of people exposed to asbestos, we have become familiar with medical doctors and hospitals across the United States that specialize in treating patients with asbestos disease.
