Asbestos Disease and Cancer
One of the practice areas we are most proud of at Wallace & Graham is our successful asbestos and occupational disease practice, which ranks at the top.
Mona Lisa Wallace was one of the first asbestos lawyers in the Southeast and has handled asbestos cases since 1981. Partner Bill Graham has dedicated nearly his entire legal career to assisting individuals and families who suffer from asbestos-related diseases and cancers.
Our firm has entire departments (asbestos medical, asbestos third-party settlement, asbestos workers’ compensation disease, Medicare reimbursement) with years of experience and knowledge related to asbestos-related work exposures and diseases. We understand the dangerous products and companies that caused them and know how to effectively get these claims litigated or settled.
OUR EXPERIENCE AND SUCCESS
In civil lawsuits, we have successfully represented thousands of employees to obtain their just legal benefits. Our firm has tried hundreds of asbestos cases in various courts and has had a significant hand in shaping North Carolina workers’ compensation case law.
Recently, Bill Graham and co-counsel obtained the largest N.C. asbestos wrongful death verdict believed to date—$32.7 million for compensatory-only damages—on behalf of our client who died from the tragic asbestos-related cancer, mesothelioma.
We attribute much of our success to our firm’s commitment over the years of documenting exposures and obtaining records, which have been categorized and stored from a variety of locations, facilities, and workers who have worked as far back as the early 1940s. Our clients are referred to us most often by their co-workers who have been pleased with our representation. We consider a word-of-mouth referral from a pleased former client to be our greatest compliment.
