Holding Negligent Companies Accountable and Helping You Move Forward

We know the weight that a mesothelioma diagnosis carries. It’s not just a medical condition—it’s a life-altering reality that affects families emotionally, physically, and financially. You may be asking how something like this could happen, especially when so many companies knew the dangers of asbestos decades ago. 

The truth is that asbestos was widely used long after its risks were well-documented. Corporations and manufacturers chose profits over people, continuing to expose workers, veterans, and their families to asbestos without proper warnings or protections. That is unacceptable, and we believe they should be held accountable.

Our legal team focuses exclusively on mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer cases. That focus lets us dig deep into your exposure history and build a robust case. Even if the exposure happened 30, 40, or 50 years ago, we can help identify the companies responsible. 

Over the years, we’ve built and maintained an extensive national database that links asbestos-containing products to specific job sites, from naval ships and shipyards to paper mills, powerhouses, steel mills, and construction sites. We work to reconstruct your history by interviewing former coworkers, reviewing site-specific data, and identifying the likely points of exposure that led to your illness.

Every case is different, and so is every person we represent. We tailor our legal strategy to match your medical and financial needs to pursue the compensation you deserve and support your care and peace of mind. 

Whether it’s negotiating a settlement or fighting for you in court, we move forward with tenacity and purpose. And through it all, we make sure you're informed, involved, and supported.

Pursuing the Compensation You Deserve

Our team has stood beside families who never imagined needing a mesothelioma attorney. We know that for anyone facing this diagnosis, money is not the priority—life is. The conversations we have every day are not about dollar signs. They’re about time, treatment, and easing the burden on the people you love most. 

Still, financial compensation can play a critical role in helping families navigate the high cost of care, lost income, and the emotional toll this disease can take.

We aim to help you recover the financial support you need to focus on what matters most—your health and your family. 

Compensation in mesothelioma cases can help cover expenses such as:

• Medical treatment
• Caregiving services
• Pain and suffering 
• The immeasurable loss of a loved one (in wrongful death cases)

Compensation is not about assigning a price to something priceless—it’s about fighting for the resources that make daily life manageable and help provide peace of mind.

We build each case with precision, guided by decades of experience and a relentless drive to see justice served. That means taking the time to understand your story, identifying where and how asbestos exposure occurred, and aggressively pursuing those responsible. 

Our team works alongside seasoned partner firms to navigate the legal complexities and remove as much stress as possible from your shoulders. Together, we create a strong, unified front to hold negligent companies accountable.

To date, our work has helped secure over $2.5 billion in verdicts and settlements for families nationwide. While past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, they reflect our commitment to doing everything we can to help our clients move forward with strength, dignity, and the financial support they need.

Understanding Asbestos Exposure in Long Beach

Mesothelioma is a disease that often takes decades to appear—quietly growing after exposure to asbestos fibers that were, for far too long, part of everyday life in industries and environments where safety should have come first. For many, exposure happened on the job. Others were exposed secondhand, through a loved one’s work clothes. Still others lived or went to school in buildings where asbestos lingered in insulation, flooring, or ceiling tiles.

In Long Beach, the risk of asbestos exposure is widespread, including:

• Long Beach Naval Shipyard (closed 1997 but major site of exposure)
• Port of Long Beach dockworkers and shipbuilders
• Local oil refineries and industrial facilities
• Older homes and buildings in downtown

Our attorneys have seen how this exposure has impacted families across Long Beach. We’re here to help you trace the source of exposure, understand your legal rights, and move forward with the support you need because this fight is personal.

Compassionate Care and Guidance Beyond the Legal Process

Navigating life after a mesothelioma diagnosis is about so much more than pursuing a legal claim. It’s about holding on to hope, clarity, and control amid overwhelming uncertainty. At Worthington & Caron, PC, our mission goes beyond the courtroom. We stand with you as advocates and partners in this fight, helping you and your family access care, support, and answers when needed.

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive disease, and treatment often requires specialists with a deep understanding of how to manage it. One of our first goals is to help you explore and understand your medical options. We can guide you toward leading treatment centers and physicians at the forefront of mesothelioma research and care—because your health is our top priority. And while we focus on building a strong legal case, we don’t lose sight of the fact that healing and time with family are the real priorities.

We also help families connect with resources that offer emotional, logistical, and medical support. We're here to shoulder some of the weight, whether pointing you toward a clinical trial, helping you schedule a second opinion, or simply answering questions that keep you up at night. We've seen how vital it is for clients to feel supported, understood, and reassured. No one should have to navigate this alone. We’re committed to offering compassionate care that brings peace of mind during one of life’s most difficult chapters.
