City of Murphy Toxic Exposure & Dangerous Industry Worker Advocacy: Holding Corporations Accountable for Occupational Disease
You spent decades building the infrastructure of North Texas. You showed up to the job sites in Garland, the manufacturing plants in Richardson, and the massive construction projects across Collin County and the City of Murphy. You did the heavy lifting that fueled the Texas economy. But while you were providing for your family, the companies you worked for and the manufacturers of the products you handled were concealing a lethal secret. They knew the dust you breathed and the chemicals you touched were toxic. They had the studies, they had the data, and they chose their profit margins over your life.
If you or a loved one in the City of Murphy has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, leukemia, or a permanent industrial injury, you are likely feeling a sense of retroactive betrayal. It is the realization that your illness wasn’t an accident or a stroke of bad luck—it was a calculated consequence of corporate negligence. At Attorney 911, led by Ralph Manginello and backed by former insurance defense insider Lupe Peña, we don’t just “handle” these cases. We litigate them with a level of scientific and regulatory precision that makes corporate defense teams scramble.
We understand the industrial landscape surrounding the City of Murphy, from the high-tech manufacturing corridors along US-75 to the warehouse districts in Garland and the rapid residential development across FM 544. Whether you were exposed to asbestos in legacy commercial buildings, benzene in industrial solvents, or silica dust on a Collin County construction site, your rights did not expire when your employment ended. Texas law follows a discovery rule, meaning your legal clock often starts when you receive your diagnosis, not when the exposure occurred decades ago.
The corporations that poisoned you have spent fifty years perfecting a playbook designed to delay your claim and deny your suffering. They are counting on you not knowing about the $30 billion held in asbestos bankruptcy trusts or the third-party claims that exist beyond the limits of workers’ compensation. We know their playbook because Lupe Peña spent years on their side of the table. Now, we use that insider intelligence to ensure that victims in the City of Murphy get every dollar they are entitled to.
Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your case. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we advance every dollar of the litigation costs and you pay nothing unless we win your recovery. You’ve spent your life working for others; now it’s time to let us work for you.
THE INSIDER ADVANTAGE: Why Attorney 911 Is the Choice for City of Murphy Workers
When you are fighting a multi-billion-dollar corporation like ExxonMobil, 3M, or Monsanto, you aren’t just fighting a company—you are fighting an army of defense attorneys whose only job is to ensure you receive zero compensation. To beat them, you need more than a “personal injury lawyer.” You need a litigation team that understands the internal mechanics of how insurance companies and corporate legal departments value, suppress, and minimize toxic exposure claims.
Ralph Manginello brings 27 years of trial experience to your case, including a background in high-stakes litigation like the $2.1 billion BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation. His admission to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas means he has the federal standing required to take on national defendants in federal courts where many toxic tort and mass tort cases are heard. Ralph understands that for a worker in the City of Murphy, a mesothelioma or leukemia diagnosis isn’t just a medical event; it’s a legal emergency.
The “nuclear weapon” in our firm’s arsenal is associate attorney Lupe Peña. Before joining Attorney 911 to fight for injured people, Lupe worked on the defense side. He sat in the rooms where insurance adjusters and corporate risk managers decided which claims to pay and which to bury. He knows how they use “junk science” to argue that your smoking caused your cancer instead of their asbestos. He knows how they exploit “successor liability” to pretend the company that exposed you no longer exists. He knows how they leverage your immigration status or your prior medical history to intimidate you into taking a lowball settlement.
Lupe Peña explains the importance of having an insider on your side in this detailed look at the litigation process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qCwqfeRRs
This insider knowledge allows us to front-load your case. While other firms are learning the basics, we are already subpoenaing the specific air monitoring records, OSHA 300 logs, and internal corporate memos we know the defendants are hoping we won’t find. We treat every client like family, ensuring you have direct access to your legal team. When you call 1-888-ATTY-911, you aren’t reaching a call center in another state; you are reaching a Texas firm that knows the City of Murphy and is ready to fight for you.
THE SCIENCE OF BETRAYAL: How Asbestos Destroys the Human Body
Mesothelioma is a uniquely cruel disease because it is entirely preventable. It has only one primary cause: the inhalation or ingestion of asbestos fibers. If you worked as a pipefitter, insulator, boilermaker, or electrician in the industrial suburbs near the City of Murphy during the 1960s, 70s, or 80s, you likely breathed in millions of these microscopic mineral shards every day.
The biological mechanism of mesothelioma is a masterclass in microscopic destruction. When you inhale an amphibole asbestos fiber (like amosite or crocidolite), its needle-like shape allows it to bypass the natural filters in your respiratory tract. It travels deep into the lungs and eventually migrates through the lung tissue into the mesothelium—the thin, protective lining of your lungs (pleura) or abdomen (peritoneum).
Once these fibers reach the mesothelium, they are permanent. They are biopersistent, meaning they do not dissolve and your body cannot expel them. Your immune system recognizes the fibers as foreign and sends macrophages to engulf and destroy them. However, asbestos fibers are often too long and too sharp for the macrophage to handle. This results in “frustrated phagocytosis.” The macrophage essentially dies trying to eat the fiber, spilling inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-α and IL-1β) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) into the surrounding tissue.
This creates a state of chronic, permanent inflammation that lasts for decades. Over 15 to 50 years, this constant inflammatory bombardment damages the DNA of the mesothelial cells. Specifically, it often leads to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes like BAP1 and p16. Without these genetic “brakes,” the cells begin to divide uncontrollably, eventually forming the malignant tumors known as mesothelioma.
The National Cancer Institute provides a comprehensive breakdown of the link between asbestos and cancer: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/substances/asbestos/asbestos-fact-sheet
Because of this 20-to-50-year latency period, workers who lived in the City of Murphy and worked in Garland manufacturing or Dallas construction during the peak years of asbestos use are only now being diagnosed. The companies that manufactured these products knew about this mechanism as early as the 1930s. The 1935 Sumner Simpson letters between the presidents of Raybestos-Manhattan and Johns-Manville prove they actively conspired to suppress medical research because, in their words, “the less said about asbestos, the better off we are.”
ASBESTOS BANKRUPTCY TRUSTS: The $30 Billion Path to Compensation
Many City of Murphy residents believe that if their former employer went out of business or filed for bankruptcy years ago, their legal rights died with the company. This is a myth that corporate defendants love to see persist. In reality, when major asbestos companies like Johns-Manville, Owens Corning, and W.R. Grace filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the courts required them to establish personal injury trust funds to compensate current and future victims.
Currently, there are over 60 active asbestos bankruptcy trusts holding approximately $30 billion in remaining assets. These trusts are a non-adversarial pathway to compensation, meaning you don’t necessarily have to go to trial to recover money from them. However, navigating the Trust Distribution Procedures (TDP) is complex. Each trust has its own medical and exposure criteria. Some require a specific “B-reader” radiologist to confirm asbestosis or pleural thickening on an X-ray; others require detailed work history affidavits.
One of the most significant differentiators at Attorney 911 is that we pursue every available pathway. While many firms might file a claim with just one trust, we conduct an exhaustive reconstruction of your work history to identify every asbestos-containing product you may have encountered. A typical City of Murphy insulator or pipefitter might qualify for claims against five, ten, or even fifteen separate trusts simultaneously.
The status of these trusts is constantly changing. For example, the Manville Trust—the largest in existence—currently pays approximately 5.1% of the total approved claim value. Other trusts, like the North American Refractories (NARCO) trust, have historically paid at higher percentages. Because these funds are finite and more claims are filed every year, many trusts periodically lower their payment percentages to ensure they can pay victims in the future. This creates a real, mathematical urgency to file your claim as soon as possible.
Attorney Ralph Manginello explains the dynamics of high-value cases in this podcast episode: https://share.transistor.fm/s/d690a218
If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis, don’t leave money on the table. You may be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars from bankruptcy trusts in addition to your right to sue solvent (non-bankrupt) defendants.

BENZENE EXPOSURE: The Silent Attack on City of Murphy Railyard and Refinery Workers
While asbestos attacks the lining of the lungs, benzene attacks the blood through the bone marrow. Benzene is a clear, sweet-smelling chemical that is a natural part of crude oil and gasoline. For workers in the City of Murphy who spent careers at the refineries in Beaumont or along the Houston Ship Channel, or those who worked in DFW-area railyards cleaning tanks or handling solvents, benzene exposure was an everyday occurrence.
The metabolism of benzene is what makes it so lethal. Once inhaled or absorbed through the skin, benzene travels to the liver, where an enzyme called CYP2E1 converts it into benzene oxide. It then metabolizes into muconaldehyde and hydroquinone. These toxic metabolites don’t stay in the liver; they concentrate in the bone marrow, the factory where your body produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The muconaldehyde specifically attacks the DNA of hematopoietic stem cells. This lead to specific chromosomal translocations—pathological markers that scientists can identify in a lab. If you have been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), or Aplastic Anemia, and your lab work shows translocations at t(8;21) or inv(16), that is frequently a “smoking gun” for benzene exposure.
OSHA has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for benzene at 1 part per million (ppm). However, the scientific consensus is that there is no safe level of benzene exposure. The 1987 reduction of the PEL from 10 ppm to 1 ppm was a public acknowledgment that the government had allowed workers to be poisoned for decades. If you worked in an environment near the City of Murphy where you could smell gasoline or solvents, you were likely being exposed to levels significantly higher than 1 ppm.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry provides a detailed toxicological profile for benzene: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp3.pdf
Ralph Manginello’s experience in the BP Texas City Refinery litigation is critical here. He understands the massive scale of chemical releases that can occur during process upsets and turnarounds. A single “flaring” event or a leaking valve in a confined space can expose a worker to enough benzene to trigger a bone marrow failure years later. We hold refinery operators and chemical manufacturers accountable for these exposures, regardless of how long ago they happened.
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS: Third-Party Liability in the Collin County Building Boom
The City of Murphy is at the heart of one of the most active construction markets in the United States. From the expansion of FM 544 to the massive residential and commercial developments stretching toward Wylie and Plano, construction sites are everywhere. Construction is inherently dangerous, but many of the injuries that occur on these sites are not “accidents”—they are the result of safety shortcuts taken to meet aggressive deadlines.
If you were injured on a construction site in the City of Murphy, your employer almost certainly told you to file a workers’ compensation claim. What they likely didn’t tell you is that workers’ comp only covers a portion of your lost wages and your immediate medical bills. It pays nothing for your pain and suffering, your mental anguish, or the loss of enjoyment of your life. More importantly, workers’ comp usually protects your DIRECT employer from being sued, but it does NOT protect third parties.
On a typical City of Murphy job site, there are dozens of different companies present: the general contractor, various subcontractors, equipment rental companies, and property owners. If you fell from a defective scaffold, you may have a third-party claim against the manufacturer of the scaffold or the subcontractor who erected it improperly. If a crane collapsed, you might have a claim against the maintenance company or the crane manufacturer. These third-party claims have NO damage caps under Texas law, allowing you to recover the full value of your injury.
Ralph Manginello walks through the steps you must take after a construction accident in this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqYeRjbR9PI
We look for violations of specific OSHA standards to prove negligence. In the City of Murphy’s construction sector, we frequently see violations of:
- 29 CFR 1926.451 (Scaffolding): Failing to provide proper guardrails or stable platforms.
- 29 CFR 1926.501 (Fall Protection): Failing to provide harnesses or safety nets at heights over six feet.
- 29 CFR 1926.651 (Excavation): Sending workers into unshored trenches that are deeper than five feet.
When an employer or general contractor ignores these federal laws to save time, they are playing a lethal game with your life. We use their own safety manuals and OSHA citation history against them to prove they knew the risk and chose to ignore it. Join the 270+ clients who have rated us 4.9 stars on Google by trusting us to find the third-party liability in your construction case.
SILICA DUST: The Emerging Crisis for Murphy Countertop Fabricators
As home renovations surge in affluent areas like the City of Murphy, there is an invisible epidemic affecting the workers who fabricate and install quartz and stone countertops. Many fabrication shops in Garland, Richardson, and Plano are exposing workers to lethal levels of respirable crystalline silica. Quartz countertops are often made of more than 90% silica, compared to 30% for natural granite.
When a worker cuts, grinds, or polishes these slabs without proper wet-cutting equipment and high-quality respirators, they inhale fine silica dust that is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand. These particles travel to the alveoli in the lungs. Like asbestos, silica is a mineral that the body cannot break down. It triggers an immune response where macrophages die, leading to scarring and the formation of fibrotic nodules.
This leads to silicosis—a progressive, irreversible, and potentially terminal lung disease. What is particularly terrifying about “accelerated silicosis” in the stone fabrication industry is that it is striking young workers in their 20s and 30s after only a few years of exposure. Many of these workers in North Texas are Hispanic, often primary breadwinners for their families who are being told by company doctors that they just have “adult-onset asthma.”
Hablamos Español. El abogado Lupe Peña es bilingue y entiende los desafíos que enfrentan los trabajadores hispanos en la industria de la construcción. Su estado migratorio no afecta su derecho a la compensación por una lesión o enfermedad laboral.
The discovery of the silicosis epidemic among stone workers has led to aggressive new regulations and a wave of litigation against engineered stone manufacturers who failed to warn about the disproportionate dangers of their products. If you work in a City of Murphy-area stone shop and have a persistent cough or shortness of breath, you need a medical evaluation from an occupational specialist and a legal evaluation from a firm that understands the silica crisis.
THE MONSANTO PAPERS: Justice for Roundup Exposure Victims in Murphy
While many toxic exposures happen in factories, one of the most widespread exposures in the City of Murphy happened in our own backyards and parks. For decades, Roundup (glyphosate) was marketed as “safer than table salt.” It was used by Murphy parks department workers, commercial landscapers, and homeowners across the Maxwell Creek and Timbers neighborhoods to keep North Texas weeds at bay.
In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen” after finding a clear link between Roundup exposure and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Since then, litigation has revealed the “Monsanto Papers”—internal documents proving the company ghostwrote scientific studies, manipulated the EPA, and ran a “Let Nothing Go” program to discredit any scientist who raised health concerns.
The IARC monograph detailing the carcinogenicity of glyphosate is available here: https://monographs.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/mono112-10.pdf
Juries across the country have responded to this evidence of corporate fraud with multi-billion-dollar verdicts. If you or a family member in the City of Murphy has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after using Roundup for agricultural, commercial, or residential purposes, you may be part of an active mass tort. We help victims document their usage history and medical diagnosis to ensure they receive a share of the settlements that are currently being established.
Statutes of limitations on Roundup cases are complicated by the ongoing nature of the litigation. As Ralph Manginello explains, waiting even a few months can jeopardize your right to file: https://share.transistor.fm/s/bddc1426
CAMP LEJEUNE AND PACT ACT: Fighting for City of Murphy Veterans
The City of Murphy is home to hundreds of military veterans and их families who served at installations across the country. For those who were stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, between 1953 and 1987, the water they drank and bathed in was contaminated with toxic chemicals at levels 280 times the safety limit. This included trichloroethylene (TCE) and benzene from an off-base dry cleaner and leaking fuel tanks.
For decades, the government denied these veterans compensation. That changed with the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022. If you spent at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune during those years and have been diagnosed with kidney cancer, bladder cancer, Parkinson’s disease, or several other qualifying conditions, you have a federal right to sue for damages.
Additionally, the PACT Act has expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are a post-9/11 veteran in Murphy suffering from respiratory issues or rare cancers, the PACT Act creates a “presumption” that your illness is service-connected. This makes getting VA benefits easier, but it doesn’t always provide full compensation for all your losses. We help veterans navigate the intersection of VA benefits and civil litigation against the contractors who operated those burn pits.
You served your country; we are here to ensure your country takes care of you. We offer free consultations to all City of Murphy veterans to review their CLJA and PACT Act eligibility.
THE DEFENSE PLAYBOOK: How They Will Try to Beat Your Case
If you file a toxic exposure claim, the defendant’s first move will not be to offer a fair settlement. It will be to launch an attack on your credibility and the science of your case. Lupe Peña, having worked for the defense, knows exactly which tactics they will deploy against City of Murphy workers.
The “Identification” Defense:
In mesothelioma cases, defendants will argue that you can’t prove their SPECIFIC asbestos product caused your cancer. They will list every other company you ever worked for and every product you ever touched, trying to dilute their own responsibility. We counter this by identifying every product and every site through work history reconstruction and co-worker testimony. Under the “substantial factor” test, we don’t have to prove their fiber was the only one—just that it was a significant contributor to your illness.
The “Lifestyle” Defense:
This is the most common tactic in benzene and lung cancer cases. They will comb through your medical records looking for social drinking, high-fat diets, or a history of smoking. They want to argue that the cancer was your fault, not their chemical’s fault. We use hematologic oncologists and toxicologists to show the molecular biomarkers of chemical exposure that are distinct from lifestyle-caused cancers.
The “Compliance” Defense:
They will stand in front of a jury and say, “We followed all the OSHA rules that existed in 1975.” What they won’t tell the jury is that their internal memos prove they knew the OSHA rules were dangerously inadequate even back then. Complying with an outdated government standard is not a defense for knowingly poisoning a worker. Ralph Manginello has spent his career exposing this corporate hypocrisy.
See how Ralph handles these aggressive industry tactics in this video on insurance company secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKRbFprB0E
WRONGFUL DEATH IN MURPHY: Protecting the Families Left Behind
The most tragic cases we handle in the City of Murphy are those where the victim didn’t survive long enough to see justice. Because mesothelioma has a median survival of only 12 to 21 months after diagnosis, many families find themselves dealing with terminal care and legal deadlines simultaneously.
In Texas, when a person dies from toxic exposure, two separate legal claims usually exist:
- The Wrongful Death Claim: This is brought by the surviving spouse, children, and parents. It compensates the family for their own losses—the loss of financial support, the loss of companionship, and the mental anguish of losing a loved one.
- The Survival Action: This is a claim brought on behalf of the deceased person’s estate. It allows the estate to recover the damages the victim would have been entitled to if they had lived—their pain and suffering, their medical bills, and their lost wages from the time of diagnosis until death.
Losing a spouse or parent is catastrophic. The last thing a grieving family in Murphy needs is to be harassed by a corporate defense firm or an insurance adjuster. We take over all communication, preserve the evidence, and fight for a recovery that secures your family’s financial future. As Ariel S. shared in her verified Google review: “Ralph has been our family’s attorney for years… He truly does care about his clients and makes sure we’re taken care of.”
EVIDENCE PRESERVATION: Why the Next 30 Days Are Critical
In a toxic exposure case, the evidence is constantly disappearing. The buildings you worked in are being demolished or renovated, destroying the asbestos-containing materials we need to sample. The companies you worked for are purging their safety records according to legally permitted retention schedules. Most importantly, the witnesses who remember the dusty conditions on a job site 30 years ago are aging and passing away.
When you hire Attorney 911, we move with emergency speed to preserve this proof. Within our first 14 days, we typically:
- Send formal spoliation demand letters to your former employers and identified manufacturers.
- Subpoena OSHA inspection reports and industrial hygiene air sampling data for your specific workplaces.
- Retain an investigator to locate former co-workers for depositions.
- Order a comprehensive medical history to lock in your diagnostic evidence before it can be re-interpreted by defense experts.
Waiting for your symptoms to “get better” before calling a lawyer is a mistake that can cost you your entire case. The discovery rule gives you a window of time, but that window is closing. As Ralph explains in Episode 34 of the Attorney 911 podcast, your own smartphone can be a powerful tool for documenting evidence, but personal memories and photographs cannot replace the corporate subpoenas we issue: https://share.transistor.fm/s/a42daf06
WHY CHOOSE ATTORNEY 911 FOR YOUR CITY OF MURPHY CASE?
There are thousands of lawyers who will take a car accident case. There are very few who have the technical depth, the financial resources, and the specialized knowledge to win a toxic exposure or dangerous industry lawsuit.
We are not a “settlement mill.” We are a boutique litigation firm that treats every client like a 911 emergency. When you hire us, you get:
- Ralph Manginello’s 27+ years of trial experience and his background in multi-billion-dollar industrial litigation.
- Lupe Peña’s insider knowledge of the corporate defense playbook.
- A firm that advances all costs. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on expert witnesses, medical testing, and forensic reconstruction so that you don’t have to. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.
- Personal attention. You will have Ralph and Lupe’s direct lines. You will know our staff—Leonor, Melani, and Leo—by name. You will never feel like just another file number.
As Stephanie H. wrote in her Google review: “I was trying to reach out to so many firms with no luck… she immediately reassured me and took me seriously with no hesitation at all and she just really made me feel like I mattered throughout the entire process.” This is the same care we bring to every toxic exposure victim in the City of Murphy.
FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR MURPHY VICTIMS
Is it too late to file a claim if my exposure was in the 1970s?
No. In Texas, the statute of limitations for toxic exposure usually begins when you “knew or reasonably should have known” that you were injured and that the injury was caused by the exposure. This is called the discovery rule. Since diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis take 15 to 50 years to develop, the law protects your right to sue even decades later.
How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?
Zero dollars upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis. We only get paid if we win a settlement or a verdict for you. We also cover all the upfront costs of the case—which in toxic torts can be very expensive—so there is no financial risk to you or your family.
Can I sue my employer for toxic exposure if I also receive workers’ comp?
While workers’ comp usually prevents you from suing your direct employer, it does NOT prevent you from suing third parties. In a toxic exposure case, those third parties are usually the manufacturers of the chemicals or asbestos products, the owners of the property where you worked, or the manufacturers of defective safety equipment. These third-party claims often pay much more than workers’ comp.
What if I don’t know the name of the asbestos product I worked with?
That is common. We conduct a thorough reconstruction of your work history. We use specialized databases that list the asbestos products used at specific industrial sites, refineries, and plants near the City of Murphy during certain years. We also use co-worker testimony to identify the brand names of the products used on the job.
Does my immigration status affect my right to sue?
Absolutely not. Every worker in the City of Murphy, regardless of their documentation or immigration status, has the same right to a safe workplace and the same right to sue corporations that cause them harm. Everything you discuss with us is confidential, and we have helped many immigrant families secure their financial future after a workplace injury. Hablamos Español y estamos listos para ayudarle.
What is a “B-reader” and why do I need one?
A B-reader is a radiologist who has passed a specialized exam by NIOSH to identify the specific lung changes caused by dust exposure (pneumoconioses). Their interpretation of your X-ray or CT scan carries weight in court that a regular radiologist’s report does not. We ensure your imaging is reviewed by a certified B-reader to build the strongest possible medical evidence for your case.
How long does a toxic exposure case take to settle?
It varies. Trust fund claims can often be resolved in 6 to 12 months. Civil lawsuits against solvent defendants typically take 1 to 3 years. However, for clients with a terminal diagnosis like mesothelioma, we can file for an “expedited docket” or “trial preference,” which can fast-track the case to be heard within months.
What is the average settlement for mesothelioma?
While every case is different, national averages for mesothelioma settlements typically range from $1 million to $2 million. Verdicts can be much higher, with some reaching tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Your recovery depends on your exposure history, the number of defendants identified, and the impact the disease has had on your family.
Can I file a claim if my father died of mesothelioma years ago?
Potentially. If the diagnosis was made recently or if new information has come to light about the cause of his death, the discovery rule may still allow for a wrongful death or survival action. Additionally, asbestos trust funds have different deadlines than state courts. Contact us for a free evaluation of your father’s service and work history.
Who will handle my case—a big firm in another city?
No. Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña will personally handle your case. We are a boutique firm by choice. We don’t sign thousands of cases and ignore them; we take a limited number of high-stakes toxic exposure cases so that we can give each family the time and resources they deserve.
