Compton Mesothelioma Lawyer

Asbestos Litigation & Medical Advocacy Since 1990. Over $2.5 Billion Recovered.

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. For decades, workers in construction, shipbuilding, automotive repair, pipefitting, and railroad industries were exposed to asbestos without adequate warning. Compton’s location in Los Angeles County places it near major industrial corridors, including shipyards, oil refineries, chemical plants, and railroad lines where asbestos use was widespread. A mesothelioma diagnosis may entitle you or a family member to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.

Worthington & Caron, PC has handled asbestos-related litigation since 1990 and represents individuals and families throughout Southern California, including Compton. Attorneys Roger G. Worthington and John M. Caron handle cases personally, providing individualized attention rather than passing clients through a rotating team. Representation is on a contingency fee basis: no fees unless a recovery is made, and we advance all costs.

Many asbestos-related illnesses don’t surface until decades after the original exposure. If you’re uncertain when or where exposure occurred, we investigate work history, military service, and residential history to identify the source. Secondary or take-home exposure is also a recognized path to a claim: family members of workers who brought asbestos fibers home on clothing or tools may be eligible to pursue compensation as well.
