Frisco Mesothelioma, Toxic Exposure, and Industrial Injury Attorneys: Holding Corporations Accountable for Your Health and Your Rights

You didn’t know. For twenty years, thirty years, or even longer, you went to work on Frisco’s job sites, traveled the North Dallas Tollway to the refineries or railroads, and did what was asked of you to build this community. Nobody told you the dust you breathed while clearing old cotton fields, the chemicals you handled while maintaining the Frisco railroad lines, or the insulation you cut during the “Billion Dollar Mile” construction boom would one day try to kill you. You were proud to help build Frisco into the fastest-growing city in America. You didn’t realize that your employer, the manufacturer of the products you used, and the insurance companies that supposedly protected you were making a calculated decision: your life was less important than their bottom line. Now you have a diagnosis, or you’re watching a loved one struggle to breathe, and everything you thought you knew about your career has changed. You have rights you didn’t know existed, and at Attorney 911, we are here to ensure those rights are finally enforced.

The cough may have started subtly six months ago. Then came the persistent chest pain, followed by the news that no one in Frisco expects to hear. The doctor at UT Southwestern Medical Center or Baylor Scott & White in Frisco says a word you previously only associated with television commercials: mesothelioma. This is not bad luck, and it is not a “natural” part of aging. It is the result of microscopic fibers or chemical metabolites rewriting your biology at the cellular level. Whether you were exposed during the massive commercial development near Preston Road, during maintenance work on legacy industrial complexes, or while serving in the military, the result is the same. You were poisoned by corporate negligence, and the clock for justice is running.

At Attorney 911, we represent the people of Frisco because we understand exactly how these corporations operate. Founding attorney Ralph Manginello has spent more than 27 years in the courtroom, holding billion-dollar companies accountable for destroying workers’ health. Ralph was a key part of the litigation team in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion case—a $2.1 billion matter—and he brings that same level of aggression to every Frisco toxic exposure claim. We are joined by associate attorney Lupe Peña, an insurance defense insider who previously worked for the very firms that now represent your employer’s insurance company. Lupe knows the strategies they use to deny your claim, the way they hide evidence, and the tactics they employ to offer you pennies on the dollar. He switched sides to fight for you, bringing a “mole’s” perspective of the defense playbook to our team.

We don’t treat you like a case number in a mass tort file. We treat you like the Frisco neighbor you are. Our firm maintains a 4.9-star Google rating across more than 270 verified reviews because we prioritize direct communication and relentless litigation. As Chad H. shared in his verified Google review: “Atty. Manginello stepped in and absolutely fought for us. A true PITT BULL and fighter. He don’t play! Unlike some law firms where you are dealing with an answering service, Ralph and I had DIRECT COMMUNICATION.” We provide this same level of service to every Frisco family facing a terminal diagnosis or a catastrophic workplace injury.

The Science of Discovery: Why Your Diagnosis Is a Legal Event

Frisco has transformed from an agricultural hub into a suburban powerhouse, but that transformation came with a heavy toxic cost. Whether you are a retired tradesperson who saw the first high-rises go up or a young construction worker building the newest corporate headquarters, your diagnosis is the moment of recognition.

Toxic exposure is fundamentally different from a car accident on Highway 121. In an accident, you know you’re hurt immediately. In a toxic tort case, the injury is silent and invisible for decades. This is why the “Discovery Rule” is the most critical piece of legal protection for Frisco residents. In Texas, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years. However, for latent diseases like mesothelioma or benzene-related leukemia, the clock does not start when you were exposed in 1985; it starts when you knew—or reasonably should have known—that you had an injury caused by that exposure.

At Attorney 911, we specialize in “performing the diagnosis” for the legal system. Most physicians are focused on treating your symptoms, but they may not ask the critical questions about your work history along the Frisco railroad lines or on industrial sites across North Texas. We connect your medical reality to your occupational history using specific scientific mechanisms that no defense attorney can refute.

The Biological Mechanism of Mesothelioma

Asbestos fibers, particularly the amosite and crocidolite varieties used in heavy industrial insulation and brake components, are microscopic and needle-like. When inhaled, these fibers penetrate deep into the respiratory tree, reaching the pleural lining of the lungs—the mesothelium. Once embedded, they remain there for your entire life. Asbestos is “biopersistent,” meaning your body cannot break it down or expel it.

The malignancy begins when your body’s macrophages, the white blood cells responsible for destroying foreign particles, attempt to engulf the fibers. Because the fibers are larger than the cells that try to eat them, the process fails—a phenomenon known as “frustrated phagocytosis.” This failure triggers a cascade of chronic inflammation that never stops. For 20 to 50 years, your cells are bathed in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1β. This chronic oxidative stress gradually destroys DNA repair mechanisms, leading to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes such as BAP1 and p16. When those genetic “brakes” are removed, malignant transformation occurs.

This is the scientific truth that the manufacturers of Kaylo insulation and Unibestos block knew for decades. They didn’t just sell a product; they sold a biological ticking time bomb. According to the National Cancer Institute, there is no safe level of asbestos exposure. Even low-level exposure during the renovation of older buildings in Frisco’s original town square can trigger this process.

Benzene and the Bio-Transformation of Blood

If you worked in petroleum transport, refinery maintenance, or handled solvents near Frisco’s industrial hubs, your blood may have been rewritten by benzene. Benzene is a Group 1 carcinogen that enters the body through inhalation or skin absorption. Once in your system, it travels to your liver, where the enzyme CYP2E1 metabolizes it into highly reactive intermediates, including benzene oxide and muconaldehyde.

These metabolites possess an affinity for your bone marrow. They attack the hematopoietic stem cells—the master cells that produce your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The muconaldehyde binds to your DNA, creating covalent adducts that lead to chromosomal translocations, specifically t(8;21) or inv(16). This genetic damage results in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

Attorney Ralph Manginello’s experience with the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation taught us how to uncover the air monitoring reports and safety data sheets that prove your exposure levels exceeded the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 1 ppm (29 CFR 1910.1028). When Frisco workers are diagnosed with leukemia, we don’t just ask about their health; we look for the muconaldehyde “fingerprint” left by the corporations that chose cheaper chemical formulations over worker safety.

The Enemy: How Corporate Defendants Operate in Frisco

The corporations that exposed you to asbestos, silica, and benzene have a playbook designed to ensure you never receive a dollar of compensation. They count on your confusion, they count on your fear, and they count on evidence disappearing over the 30-year latency period of your disease. This is where Lupe Peña’s background is your greatest asset.

Having worked inside the insurance defense machine, Lupe understands the four pillars of corporate defense:

1. The Identification Defense: In a mesothelioma case, defendants like John Crane Inc. or Goodyear will argue that because you were exposed to many products, we cannot prove their specific product caused your cancer. At Attorney 911, we counter this with the “substantial factor” test established in landmark cases like Lohrmann v. Pittsburgh Corning Corp. We reconstruct your work history along every foot of the North Dallas Tollway projects and every Frisco industrial job site to prove that their product contributed to your total fiber burden.
2. The “Junk Science” Defense: Defendants hire “product defense” consultants—not real scientists—to testify that low-level exposure is safe. We use primary sources from the IARC and the World Health Organization to dismantle these paid witnesses. We cite the 1964 Dr. Irving Selikoff studies that proved the lethal nature of asbestos insulation, evidence the industry suppressed as early as the 1930s.
3. The Bankruptcy Trust Trap: Many asbestos manufacturers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to cap their liability. They established trust funds, such as the Johns-Manville Trust or the WR Grace Trust. Some law firms only file for these trust payments, which pay at reduced percentages (sometimes as low as 5-10% of claim value). Attorney 911 pursues a dual-track strategy. We file with every eligible trust, but we also sue the solvent, non-bankrupt defendants to maximize your recovery.
4. Regulatory Hiding: A company might say, “We complied with the OSHA standard in 1980.” We know that OSHA standards are often decades behind the science. For example, OSHA’s manganese PEL for welding fumes is 250 times less stringent than what modern medical science considers safe. Compliance with a deficient government standard is not a defense for knowingly poisoning a Frisco worker.

Tier 1 Focus: Frisco Construction and Infrastructure Injuries

Frisco’s identity is tied to its “Billion Dollar Mile” and its status as a premier destination for corporate relocation and sports infrastructure. This rapid growth has created a Tier 1 hazard environment for construction workers, electricians, pipefitters, and crane operators.

Crane Collapse and Heavy Equipment Failures

With the massive development projects currently under way near the Fields development and the Universal Kids Resort site, Frisco’s skyline is dotted with tower cranes and mobile rigs. A crane collapse is never an “act of God”; it is a failure of engineering, maintenance, or operation.

Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC, only certified and qualified operators are permitted to maneuver these machines. Before a crane is ever erected in Frisco, the ground must be assessed for stability. Many accidents occur because contractors ignore wind-speed limits or fail to conduct the required daily shift inspections under 1926.1412. When a crane collapses, the results are catastrophic: blunt force trauma, crush syndrome (rhabdomyolysis), and permanent spinal cord injury.

We represent workers who have survived these events, and we hold not only the direct employer accountable but also the third-party maintenance contractors, the project developers, and the equipment manufacturers. Landmark verdicts in Texas, including the $860 million Dallas crane collapse verdict, prove that juries will not tolerate shortcuts in Frisco’s construction industry.

Trench Collapses: The Forgotten Hazard of Development

New infrastructure in Frisco requires miles of deep trenching for water, sewer, and fiber optics. A single cubic yard of soil weighs roughly 3,000 pounds—the weight of a compact car. When a trench wall collapses because an employer failed to use shoring, shielding (trench boxes), or proper sloping as required by 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P, death occurs in minutes.

Soil weight on the chest prevents lung expansion, causing traumatic asphyxiation. Survivors often face permanent brain damage from oxygen deprivation (hypoxic encephalopathy) or acute kidney failure from the toxins released by crushed muscle tissue. If your employer put you in a trench deeper than 5 feet without a trench box, they didn’t just make a mistake—they broke federal law.

Scaffold Falls and Third-Party Liability

The leading cause of death in construction is falls. For the tradespeople painting the ceilings of Frisco’s new luxury hotels or installing electrical lines in corporate campuses, the scaffold is their lifeline. OSHA Subpart L requires scaffolds to be inspected by a “competent person” before every shift.

If you fall from a scaffold in Frisco, your employer’s HR department may tell you that workers’ compensation is your “exclusive remedy.” This is one of the most common lies in the Texas legal landscape. While you generally cannot sue your direct employer if they carry workers’ comp, you CAN sue any third party whose negligence contributed to the fall. This includes the scaffold rental company, the general contractor who failed to enforce site safety, or the manufacturer of a defective safety harness. Unlike workers’ comp, a third-party lawsuit allows you to recover full damages for pain and suffering and lost future earning capacity.

The Frisco Asbestos and Mesothelioma Anchor: A Crisis of Latency

Because Frisco was once a significant stop on the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, we see a high incidence of mesothelioma among legacy railroad workers and their families. Railroad locomotives were saturated with asbestos insulation for nearly a century. Every time a worker in the Frisco rail yard handled brake shoes or worked on a steam engine, they were inhaling chrysotile and amosite fibers.

Asbestos-related diseases don’t care how affluent a community has become. The fibers you inhaled while maintaining the Frisco tracks decades ago are still in your lungs today. We help these workers navigate the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), which gives railroad workers the unique right to sue their employers for negligence—including occupational disease.

Secondary (Take-Home) Exposure in Frisco Families

One of the most heartbreaking aspects of our practice involves “take-home” exposure. For decades, Frisco workers involved in industrial trades or shipyard work elsewhere in North Texas would come home with dust-covered clothes. When their wives laundered those clothes, or when their children hugged them at the door, they breathed in the same fibers.

We are currently seeing Frisco residents—often women in their 60s and 70s—diagnosed with mesothelioma despite never spending a day on an industrial site. This is actionable. We hold the original employers and manufacturers accountable for failing to provide shower facilities and changing rooms that would have prevented this family tragedy.

Axis 1: Toxic Substances Threatening Frisco Residents

Beyond the anchor of asbestos, we are focused on the emerging toxic threats in the Collin County region.

The Engineered Stone Silicosis Crisis

The same “Billion Dollar Mile” that defines Frisco’s growth has driven a high-end kitchen renovation boom. This has led to an epidemic of “accelerated silicosis” among stone fabrication workers. Engineered stone (quartz) contains 90% or more crystalline silica. When workers cut these slabs without wet-saw technology and proper ventilation, they inhale silica dust that kills their lung tissue.

Unlike traditional silicosis, which takes 30 years to develop, this “fracked” stone disease is killing workers in their 20s and 30s. Landmark verdicts, like the $52.4 million California silicosis award, have exposed the manufacturers of these slabs. If you worked in a stone shop near Frisco and now have a persistent cough or scarring on your chest X-ray, you may be a victim of a defective product.

PFAS “Forever Chemicals” in Local Water

As a rapidly developing suburb, Frisco’s infrastructure must contend with the legacy of firefighting foam (AFFF) used at nearby airports and military facilities. PFAS chemicals contain the carbon-fluorine bond—the strongest in organic chemistry. They bioaccumulate in your blood and are linked to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and thyroid disease.

According to EPA regulations updated in 2024, the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water is just 4 parts per trillion (https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas). If Frisco’s water supplies or private wells in the surrounding North Texas area show levels above this threshold, the companies responsible for the foam—including 3M and DuPont—can be held liable. For those who served at McKinney’s regional airport or at military installations across the state, this is a Tier 1 health concern.

Roundup and Glyphosate: The Frisco Agricultural Legacy

Before the suburban sprawl, Frisco was cotton territory. The widespread use of Roundup (glyphosate) on those fields—and its continued use in Frisco’s massive landscaping industry—has created a cluster of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) cases. Juries have awarded billions of dollars because internal “Monsanto Papers” proved the company ghostwrote studies to hide the cancer link. We represent Frisco landscapers, parks department workers, and long-term residents whose NHL diagnosis is a direct result of these agricultural toxins.

Multiple Compensation Pathways: Maximizing Your Frisco Recovery

One of the reasons Frisco families choose Attorney 911 is because we pursue every available table of money. Most firms find one claim and stop. We build a “compensation stack” for our clients:

1. Civil Litigation: We sue the solvent manufacturers, premises owners, and third-party contractors for full damages, including pain and suffering and punitive damages. (Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Results vary by case. https://attorney911.com/youtube/)
2. Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts: We file with multiple trusts (out of the 60+ active trusts holding $30 billion) whose products were present at your Frisco job site.
3. Workers’ Compensation: We ensure your acute medical bills are covered while we build your third-party lawsuit.
4. VA Disability: If you are a veteran, we help you secure service-connected disability ratings while pursuing your civil claims. The PACT Act of 2022 has revolutionized this pathway for Frisco veterans (https://www.va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/).
5. Federal Statutory Programs: Including RECA for those exposed to radiation and the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) for those stationed in North Carolina (1953-1987).

Our process is immediate and aggressive. As Stephanie H. shared in her 5-star review: “Leonor and her team were beyond amazing!!! She took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders… she immediately reassured me and took me seriously with no hesitation.” This is the level of care we bring to every case.

Frisco Occupational Health and Evidence Preservation

The corporations are counting on the evidence of your exposure disappearing. In Frisco, old job sites are being cleared for new developments every week. Once a building is demolished, the asbestos inspection records and maintenance logs often go with it.

Attorney 911 moves within days to preserve your rights. We send detailed spoliation demand letters to your former employers and the manufacturers of the products we identify. We demand the preservation of:

• Industrial hygiene monitoring reports and air sampling data.
• OSHA 300 Logs and accident reports.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals used at the Frisco site.
• Union dispatch records and work assignment logs.

If you have been diagnosed with an exposure-related illness, your first medical priority should be the best oncology or pulmonary care available. For Frisco residents, we recommend seeking evaluations at NCI-designated centers. UT Southwestern’s Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center in Dallas is a top-tier resource (https://www.cancer.gov/research/infrastructure/cancer-centers). We also encourage veterans to seek Toxic Exposure Screenings at the Dallas VA Medical Center.

The Attorney 911 FAQ: Answers for Frisco Workers and Families

I was exposed 30 years ago. Is it really not too late to sue?

No, it is very likely not too late. In Frisco, like the rest of Texas, the “Discovery Rule” protects you. Because mesothelioma and leukemia often take decades to develop, the law allows you to file a claim within two years of your diagnosis, not your exposure. We have successfully represented clients whose exposure happened as far back as the 1960s.

Can I file a claim if the company I worked for is out of business?

Yes. Many companies that went out of business established bankruptcy trust funds specifically to pay for future asbestos and toxic exposure health claims. There are currently more than 60 active trusts with billons of dollars in assets. We identify which trusts correspond to the products used at your Frisco job site.

Will hiring a lawyer affect my VA benefits or Social Security?

Generally, no. Civil lawsuit settlements and trust fund payments are separate from government disability benefits. In many cases, a lawsuit actually helps your VA claim by providing the medical and occupational evidence needed to prove “service connection.”

My husband died of lung cancer, but he was a smoker. Can we still sue for asbestos?

Yes. Asbestos is a primary cause of lung cancer, and many people were exposed without their knowledge. In fact, smoking and asbestos exposure have a “synergistic” effect, meaning the asbestos was actually more dangerous to a smoker than a non-smoker. The manufacturer of the asbestos product remains liable.

How much does it cost to get started with Attorney 911?

Zero dollars. We work on a contingency fee basis. We advance all costs for medical experts, industrial hygienists, and legal filing fees. You never pay us a penny out of your own pocket. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing. As Ralph explains on the Attorney 911 podcast, this system allows the “little guy” in Frisco to have the same powerful legal team as a billion-dollar corporation. (https://share.transistor.fm/s/c1b705d4)

I am an undocumented worker and I was injured on a construction site. What are my rights?

In Frisco and throughout the United States, your immigration status does not change the fact that you have the right to a safe workplace and compensation for injuries. You can file a lawsuit, and your status is generally inadmissible in a personal injury trial. We speak Spanish, and we are committed to protecting all workers. Llame ahora al 1-888-ATTY-911.

How long will my case take?

Toxic exposure cases are complex, and a full civil lawsuit can take 1 to 3 years. However, for clients with terminal diagnoses like Stage 4 mesothelioma, we can move for an “expedited docket” or “trial preference,” which can significantly shorten the timeline. Trust fund claims often pay out much faster, typically within 3 to 12 months.

Can I sue for second-hand exposure?

Yes. If your family member brought toxic dust home in Preston Highlands or any other Frisco neighborhood, and you became sick as a result, you have a “take-home exposure” claim. These are legitimate legal cases against the company that failed to warn their workers about the dangers of contaminated clothing.

What is the average mesothelioma settlement in North Texas?

Average mesothelioma settlements typically range from $1 million to $1.4 million, though cases involving younger victims or gross corporate misconduct can result in verdicts exceeding $10 million. In 2025, a jury awarded $1.5 billion in a talc/mesothelioma case involving Johnson & Johnson. (Past results vary. Consult with Ralph Manginello for a case-specific valuation.)

Do I have to go to court?

Most toxic exposure cases settle before trial because corporations do not want their internal memos (like the Sumner Simpson letters) read to a jury. However, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. Our reputation for being “beasts” in the courtroom, as Chad H. noted, is what forces insurance companies to offer fair settlements.

What substances were used in Frisco during the 80s and 90s construction?

Asbestos was still used in drywall joint compound (“mud”), floor tiles, and roofing materials well into the 1980s. Benzene was used in thousands of paints, thinners, and industrial solvents. If you were working in the North Dallas area during that time, you were very likely in a high-hazard environment.

Who will actually talk to me when I call?

When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, you are calling our firm, not a call center. You will speak with experienced staff like Leonor, who has been praised by countless clients for her responsiveness and empathy, or you will speak with Ralph and Lupe directly. As Eddy M. shared: “Every question I had was answered thoroughly and in a timely manner… Melani was outstanding—always responsive and helpful.”

What if I was only partially at fault for my accident?

Texas follows the “modified comparative negligence” rule. Even if you were partially responsible for your injury (for example, failing to wear a piece of provided PPE), you can still recover damages as long as you were not 51% or more at fault. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Ralph explains this in detail here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/b8317bf9.

What are the earliest symptoms of mesothelioma I should look for?

Many Frisco residents ignore the symptoms because they mimic a common cold or aging. Look for: a persistent dry cough, shortness of breath while walking in Frisco’s parks, pain in your side or chest that worsens when you breathe deeply, and unexplained weight loss. If you have these symptoms and a history of trades work, see a specialist immediately.

Can I file a claim for cancer from Roundup?

Yes. If you were a landscaper or a long-time resident near agricultural fields and have Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, you can join the thousands of others holding Bayer/Monsanto accountable. Evidence has proven they knew Roundup was carcinogenic and failed to warn Frisco families.

What is the Manville Trust?

The Johns-Manville Trust was the first and remains one of the largest asbestos bankruptcy trusts. After filing for bankruptcy in 1982 to escape thousands of lawsuits, the company set aside billions of dollars for victims. If you were exposed to Manville products—which were used in almost every Frisco building and ship—you are entitled to a claim.

How do I prove I was exposed to benzene at a refinery?

We use industrial archaeology. We obtain the refinery’s internal reports, purchase orders for chemicals, and testimony from former co-workers. Lupe Peña’s knowledge of refinery safety protocols is critical for identifying the specific “upset” events and maintenance periods where exposure was highest.

What is “maintenance and cure” in maritime law?

If you were injured while working on a vessel—such as a gravel barge on North Texas waterways or a tanker in the Gulf—you are entitled to “maintenance and cure.” This is a no-fault benefit: the employer must pay your living expenses (maintenance) and all medical bills (cure) until you reach maximum medical improvement.

What is a “third-party” claim in a construction accident?

If you are hit by a falling object on a Frisco site, and the object was dropped by a different subcontractor’s worker, that is a third-party claim. It allows you to sue the other company for full damages, bypassing the caps of workers’ comp.

Is Frisco’s water safe from PFAS?

The City of Frisco monitors its water quality, but many smaller systems and private wells in Collin County may not yet have the filtration required for “forever chemicals.” If you are diagnosed with kidney or testicular cancer and live near a documented contamination source, blood testing can confirm if your PFAS levels are dangerously high.

What is the risk of “hot work” explosions?

Hot work—welding, grinding, and torch cutting—on pipelines or tanks that have not been properly “degassed” is the most common cause of industrial explosions. Under OSHA 1910.252, companies must test for floor and vapor hazards before any spark is allowed. If they didn’t, it’s negligence per se.

Why should I choose a small firm like Attorney 911 over a big national TV firm?

National “billboard” firms usually sign your case and refer it to someone else. They won’t know your name and they’ve never set foot in Collin County. Attorney 911 is a litigation firm. We handle your case from intake to settlement or trial. When you call us, you are our top priority. As Brian B. noted in his review: “Attorneys… were at the bottom of professions that I respected… Attorney 911 have definitely changed my views on this… I unquestionably recommend this firm.”

What happens if I lose my case?

If we do not recover money for you, you owe us nothing. We take all the risk. We only take cases we believe in, and we fight to win.

Why is Frisco’s history relevant to my case?

Because Frisco’s growth was built on cotton gins and railroads—two industries with high chemical and dust exposure. The land you live on and the buildings you work in have a “toxic memory.” Our understanding of that history is what allows us to win cases other firms turn down.

Do I have a case if I only worked at a site for a few months?

Yes. There is no “minimum duration” for toxic exposure. For mesothelioma, even a single weekend of intense exposure (like removing an old boiler) has been scientifically proven to cause cancer 40 years later.

How can I document my own case right now?

Use your phone. Take photos of old equipment, safety gear (or lack thereof), and any chemicals you still use. As Ralph explains, your smartphone is a powerful evidence collection tool (https://share.transistor.fm/s/a42daf06).

What if I was a contractor at a refinery, not an employee?

You are in a superior legal position. As a contractor, the refinery operator is a “premises owner” rather than your employer. This means you are NOT barred by workers’ compensation and can sue the refinery for full negligence damages.

What was the result of the BP Texas City explosion?

The litigation Ralph Manginello was part of resulted in more than $2.1 billion in settlements and verdicts. It also forced major safety reforms across the global refining industry. We bring that same level of “system-changing” litigation to Frisco.

How do I know if my cough is mesothelioma or just old age?

If the cough is dry, if you have any fluid around your lungs (pleural effusion), and if you have any history of labor work, it is not just old age. See an oncologist or a pulmonologist at a center like UT Southwestern and tell them about your work history.

What is the next step for my Frisco family?

The next step is a phone call. Statutes of limitations and trust fund assets are constantly expiring. The sooner we send out spoliation demands, the stronger your case will be. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 and speak with Ralph, Lupe, or our team today.

Final Word from Attorney 911

This shouldn’t have happened to you. This shouldn’t have happened to your family. You worked for Frisco’s future, and the corporations you trusted gambled with yours.
