District of Columbia Mesothelioma Lawyer and Legal Information

Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, has been the venue for a number of groundbreaking mesothelioma cases, largely because it is home to the United States Supreme Court. There have been asbestos cases decided in the Washington D.C. district court as well, though they are not as well-publicized. The District of Columbia decides awards based on pure contributory negligence and common law joint and several liability. This is both good and bad news for possible plaintiffs, and anyone with a possible asbestos suit in the District of Columbia should discuss their case with an experienced District of Columbia mesothelioma lawyer to decide on the most favorable course of action for their case.
