Asbestos is a naturally occurring material with many practical uses in the industrial sector. Sadly, we now know that this substance is a carcinogen that threatens the lives of both workers who use it and those who face exposure in their housing or place of employment. Since the 1970s, government mandates have forbidden the use of this material in new construction. However, millions of people nationwide still face the risks of exposure.
One specific consequence of asbestos exposure is the development of mesothelioma. This aggressive form of cancer can affect your heart, lungs, stomach, and bladder. If you have received a mesothelioma diagnosis or have developed other health problems related to exposure to asbestos, the Ohio mesothelioma and asbestos injury attorneys at McDermott & Hickey, LLC, could help.
For more than 30 years, our dedicated lawyers have been recognized by individuals, unions, and other law firms as the “right attorneys” for people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos injuries in Ohio. We pursue all the sources of compensation available under Ohio law, including bankruptcy trust claims, workers’ compensation, and lawsuits. Give us a call today to learn more about your options.

Many people face exposure to asbestos as a consequence of doing their jobs. Asbestos exposures can occur during work on railroad sites or during maritime work, at one of the many known asbestos exposure sites in Ohio, or from products that contain asbestos, including talcum powder. It is also possible to be exposed to asbestos through secondhand contact, such as when a family member’s clothing carried asbestos home after they worked with asbestos.
In most of these examples, these employees can demand compensation through a workers’ compensation insurance plan. This can result in the payment of all relevant medical costs as well as partial wage reimbursement for all time lost on the job and any permanent disability. People who have had difficulty receiving fair benefits through a workers’ compensation claim should speak with an Ohio mesothelioma and asbestos injury lawyer immediately to go over their legal options.
Exposure to asbestos comes with many hazards. Encountering this substance while on the job or in one’s home can result in a life-altering mesothelioma diagnosis or other illnesses related to this substance’s ability to attach itself to your internal organs. These could not only result in significant physical injuries but could also devastate your quality of life and ability to earn a living.
We understand that you have questions about mesothelioma, and whether a lawsuit is the right option for you and your family.

My wife was struck by a driver who tried to rush through an intersection. Our car was totaled and my wife sustained injuries. After getting the run around from insurance companies, we hired Mr. Hickey. He fought hard to get us compensated and received more than we ever expected. I highly recommend him.
I hired this lawyer as local counsel in Cleveland OH in a wrongful death case. He and his law partner Kevin McDermott were both very responsive and competent. They are both excellent lawyers who I would use again and recommend to anyone in need of legal services.
I have worked on several matters over several years with attorney Hickey. He is compassionate with clients and has extensive knowledge in asbestos-related matters and procedure in the Cuyahoga County courts.
I endorse this lawyer. Chip has handled numerous cases in this area and is the most experienced lawyer I can think of on these matters. I would strongly endorse and recommend him.
