Town of Thompsons Toxic Exposure and Industrial Injury Advocacy: Holding Corporations Accountable for Your Health

For decades, the skyline of the Town of Thompsons has been defined by the cooling towers and smokestacks of the W.A. Parish Generating Station. While this facility provided essential power for the Houston metro and jobs for families across Fort Bend County, it also created a legacy of silent, molecular hazards. The men and women who worked the boiler lines, maintained the turbines near Smithers Lake, and handled the high-voltage infrastructure often did so without being told that the very materials they touched every day were rewriting their genetic code. At Attorney 911, we believe that when a corporation in the Town of Thompsons chooses profit over protection, they don’t just break safety regulations—they betray the community.

You didn’t show up for your shift at the W.A. Parish plant or on the BNSF rail lines passing through the Town of Thompsons expecting a death sentence. You showed up to provide for your family. If you or a loved one has now been diagnosed with mesothelioma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or a permanent respiratory condition, it is not “bad luck.” It is the result of documented corporate negligence. We are here to help you understand what happened at the cellular level and how the law provides a pathway for you to reclaim your future.

The transition from a healthy life to a terminal diagnosis is a trauma no one should face alone. Whether you worked in the heat of a Fort Bend County refinery turnaround or spent your career at a power station in the Town of Thompsons, our legal team—led by Ralph Manginello and insurance-insider Lupe Peña—understands the playbook the defense will use to deny your claim. We don’t just navigate the law; we expose the science and the cover-ups that these companies hoped would stay buried under 40 years of dust.

Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, confidential consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless we win. Our principal office is located in Houston, Texas, and we serve clients across the Town of Thompsons, Fort Bend County, and the entire Gulf Coast.

The Invisible Hazards of the Town of Thompsons Industrial Legacy

Toxic exposure is fundamentally different from a car accident because the “impact” occurs over years, molecule by molecule. In the Town of Thompsons, the primary exposure pathways are tied to the energy and transportation sectors. Workers at large-scale generating stations were frequently required to cut, sand, and remove insulation from steam pipes and boilers—insulation that, prior to the late 1970s, was almost certainly saturated with amosite or chrysotile asbestos.

Asbestos fibers are microscopic, measuring five micrometers or longer, making them invisible to the naked eye. When you breathed that dust in the Town of Thompsons, those fibers traveled deep into your alveolar sacs. Because asbestos is “biopersistent,” your body’s immune system cannot break it down. Over 15 to 50 years, this causes chronic inflammation that results in the deactivation of tumor suppressor genes like BAP1 and p53, eventually leading to malignant mesothelioma.

Beyond asbestos, the Town of Thompsons has seen decades of heavy rail and industrial traffic. Benzene, a known human carcinogen found in crude oil and refined fuels, is another silent killer in Fort Bend County. When benzene is inhaled or absorbed through the skin, your liver metabolizes it into benzene oxide and trans,trans-muconaldehyde. These metabolites travel to your bone marrow, where they attack hematopoietic stem cells and trigger chromosomal translocations such as t(8;21), the hallmark of acute myeloid leukemia.

Ralph Manginello and our litigation team have spent over 27 years holding these industries accountable. Ralph’s experience in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation—a $2.1 billion total case—demonstrated his ability to take on the world’s largest corporations and win. When you hire Attorney 911, you aren’t just getting a lawyer; you’re getting a team that has faced down billion-dollar legal departments in federal court and secured the compensation workers in the Town of Thompsons deserve.

If you worked at an industrial site in the Town of Thompsons and are now experiencing persistent coughing, chest pain, or unexplained fatigue, tell your doctor about your exposure history and then call 1-888-ATTY-911. Your health is not a line item for a corporation to ignore.

The Attorney 911 Difference: Why Workers in the Town of Thompsons Choose Us

Most personal injury firms treat toxic exposure as a sideline. They wait for a diagnosis, file a generic claim, and hope for a settlement. We take the opposite approach. We are proactive, scientific, and aggressive. We know that in the Town of Thompsons, evidence preservation is a race against time. Companies shred maintenance records, witnesses retire or pass away, and exposure sites near the Brazos River are demolished.

One of our primary advantages is associate attorney Lupe Peña. Before joining Attorney 911 to fight for the injured, Lupe worked on the defense side for a national law firm. He spent years inside the machine that big insurance companies and industrial corporations use to undervalue, delay, and deny claims. He knows the exact questions they will ask in your deposition to try and blame your illness on your “lifestyle” or other “alternative causes.” He knows how to counter their tactics because he used to write the playbook.

In the Town of Thompsons and across Fort Bend County, we have earned a 4.9-star rating on Google from over 270 verified reviews because we treat our clients like family. As Chad H. shared in his verified Google review: “Aty. 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, that’s NOT the case with this law firm.”

We understand the unique culture of the Town of Thompsons. We know that Fort Bend County has a diverse, hardworking workforce. That is why we offer bilingual services—Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish, and he ensures that every worker, regardless of their background or immigration status, has a voice in the courtroom. Hablamos Español, y su estatus migratorio no afecta sus derechos legales en los Estados Unidos.

Attorney Ralph Manginello is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, ensuring that we can take your case to federal court if that is what it takes to secure maximum compensation. If you’ve been turned away by a “settlement mill” firm that didn’t want to do the hard work of investigating your Town of Thompsons exposure, call us at (888) 288-9911. We litigate the cases others won’t.

Tier 1: Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure in the Town of Thompsons

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that affects the mesothelium—the thin lining covering your lungs, abdomen, or heart. In the Town of Thompsons, the overwhelming majority of these cases are linked to occupational asbestos exposure at power plants and industrial facilities. This is a signature disease; if you have mesothelioma, it is almost a scientific certainty that you were exposed to asbestos fibers.

The Biological Mechanism of Harm: Frustrated Phagocytosis

The reason mesothelioma takes decades to develop is tied to a process called “frustrated phagocytosis.” When you inhaled asbestos dust while working near the steam units in the Town of Thompsons, your body’s macrophages (scavenger cells) attempted to engulf and destroy the fibers. However, amosite and crocidolite fibers are too long and rigid for the macrophages to consume.

The macrophages die in the attempt, releasing inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1β. This creates a state of permanent, chronic inflammation in your lung lining (pleura). This inflammation produces reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative DNA damage. Across thousands of cell divisions over 30 or 40 years, this damage culminates in malignant transformation. By the time a patient in the Town of Thompsons notices shortness of breath or pleuritic chest pain, the tumor has often already progressed to an advanced stage.

Symptoms and Diagnosis for Town of Thompsons Residents

Early recognition is critical for extending life expectancy. If you worked at an industrial site in Fort Bend County and notice the following, seek immediate medical attention:

1. Persistent, dry cough that does not resolve with antibiotics.
2. Shortness of breath (dyspnea) even during light activity.
3. Pain in the chest wall or shoulder blade.
4. Unexplained weight loss and night sweats.
5. “Velcro crackles” heard by a doctor during a lung exam.

Diagnosis often begins at local facilities like Memorial Hermann Sugar Land or OakBend Medical Center, but for definitive care, we often recommend patients in the Town of Thompsons seek a consultation at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. MD Anderson’s thoracic oncology team is world-renowned for their mesothelioma surgical protocols, including pleurectomy/decortication (P/D), which spares the lung while removing the tumor.

Dual Pathway Compensation: Trust Funds and Lawsuits

A common myth we hear in the Town of Thompsons is that you can’t sue because the company you worked for went bankrupt. This is false. Over 60 asbestos bankruptcy trust funds exist, holding approximately $30 billion in assets specifically to pay victims. We can help you file claims with multiple trusts—such as the Johns-Manville Trust or the Combustion Engineering Trust—simultaneously.

However, trust funds often pay at a reduced “payment percentage” to ensure money lasts for future victims. To maximize your recovery, we also investigate “solvent” defendants—the companies that manufactured the gaskets, packing materials, and insulation and are still in business today. We identify every product you touched in the Town of Thompsons to ensure every liable party pays their share.

The clock is running. Every year, trust fund payment percentages can decline. The Manville Trust, for example, currently pays roughly 5% of the liquidated claim value. Waiting to file can cost your family hundreds of thousands of dollars. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now to begin the work history reconstruction process.

Tier 1: Benzene and Chemical Cancer Claims in Fort Bend County

The Town of Thompsons sits at the edge of one of the highest concentrations of petrochemical activity in the world. Workers who traveled from the Town of Thompsons to refineries in the Houston Ship Channel or worked at local fueling and maintenance depots were frequently exposed to benzene.

How Benzene Destroys Bone Marrow

Benzene is a “genotoxic” carcinogen, meaning it directly damages your genetic material. Its primary target is the bone marrow microenvironment. Once metabolized in your liver by the CYP2E1 enzyme into benzene oxide and hydroquinone, these toxins concentrate in your marrow. They inhibit topoisomerase II, an enzyme essential for DNA replication.

This disruption causes your body to produce “broken” blood cells. It often begins as Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or aplastic anemia, where your blood counts (red cells, white cells, and platelets) drop to dangerous levels. Without intervention, these conditions frequently progress to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

The Corporate Concealment of Benzene Risks

Chemical companies have known about the link between benzene and leukemia since the 1920s. Yet, they fought to keep OSHA permissible exposure limits (PELs) as high as possible. In 1987, the benzene PEL was finally lowered from 10 ppm to 1 ppm, but for workers in the Town of Thompsons who were exposed before this change, the damage was already done.

In 2024, a Pennsylvania jury awarded $725 million against ExxonMobil in a benzene-related AML case involving a worker who used benzene-containing products for just five years in the late 1970s. This proves that juries understand the long-tail devastation of this chemical. If you worked with petroleum products, solvents, or degreasers and have been diagnosed with leukemia, we will investigate the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from your era to prove liability.

Ralph Manginello’s experience in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation (the $2.1 billion case) gives us unique insight into how petroleum companies manage their toxic exposure liability. We know where the records are hidden. Call (888) 288-9911 to put that experience to work for you.

Tier 1: Industrial Explosions and Refinery Accidents near the Town of Thompsons

The Town of Thompsons is home to massive industrial infrastructure where process-safety failures can have catastrophic results. When a pressurized line ruptures or a volatile chemical releases, the result is often a blast wave that causes multi-system trauma.

The Biomechanics of Blast Injuries

An industrial explosion at a facility like the W.A. Parish Generating Station or a nearby Fort Bend County chemical plant creates a primary blast wave—a wall of high-pressure air that moves faster than the speed of sound. This pressure wave compresses the chest and abdomen, causing “blast lung” (pulmonary contusion) and rupturing hollow organs like the eardrums and bowel.

Secondary injuries occur when the blast throws “shrapnel”—fragmented metal, glass, or debris—into workers. Tertiary injuries happen when the force of the explosion actually throws the worker into structural elements. Finally, the resulting fires cause full-thickness thermal burns that can lead to “burn shock” and acute renal failure within 24 to 48 hours.

Pursuing Third-Party Liability Beyond Workers’ Comp

If you were injured in an industrial accident in the Town of Thompsons, your employer’s HR department probably told you that workers’ compensation is your “exclusive remedy.” This is often a lie by omission. While you generally cannot sue your direct employer if they carry workers’ comp, you CAN sue third parties:

• The manufacturer of a defective valve or pressure vessel.
• The maintenance contractor who failed to properly inspect the line.
• The project owner who violated OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standards.

Third-party claims have no “damage caps.” They allow you to recover for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and full lost earning capacity—values that workers’ comp intentionally ignores. Ralph Manginello is a “BEAST” in these negotiations, as our clients say, because he knows that a $16,131 OSHA fine is just a rounding error to a billion-dollar company. Only a civil lawsuit provides real accountability.

In February 2023, a Harris County jury awarded over $28 million to five workers injured in the 2019 ExxonMobil Baytown explosion. This case was won because of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) violations. If you were hurt in an industrial fire or explosion near the Town of Thompsons, call 1-888-ATTY-911 immediately so we can send an expert to the site before the evidence is cleared away.

Tier 2: Maritime Injuries and the Jones Act in the Brazos River Region

The Town of Thompsons’ proximity to the Brazos River and the Gulf Coast means many local residents work in the maritime industry. Whether you are a deckhand on a barge, a technician on an offshore platform, or a petroleum inspector, your rights are governed by a powerful federal law: The Jones Act (46 USC § 30104).

The Seaman Status Difference

If you spend at least 30% of your working time “in service of a vessel,” you are likely a “seaman” under the Jones Act. This is a massive advantage. Unlike land-based workers in the Town of Thompsons who are often limited by workers’ comp, seamen have the right to sue their employer for negligence.

Under the Jones Act, the burden of proof is “featherweight.” If the boat owner’s negligence played even a 1% part in your injury, they are liable for 100% of your damages. This includes maintenance and cure—automatic payments for your daily living expenses and 100% of your medical bills until you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).

Asbestos in the Maritime Industry

If you worked in ship repair or served in the Navy and lived in the Town of Thompsons, you were at extreme risk for asbestos exposure. For decades, ships were “floating asbestos boxes.” Every steam engine, boiler, and bulkhead was insulated with the material. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma as a maritime worker, you may have three simultaneous claims:

1. A Jones Act negligence claim against the vessel owner.
2. Unseaworthiness claims against the vessel itself.
3. Asbestos trust fund claims against the manufacturers of the insulation and pumps.

Attorney Ralph Manginello’s “Ultimate Guide to Offshore Accidents” is an essential resource for maritime workers in Fort Bend County. You can watch his detailed breakdown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vd_HVPtPf4. If you were injured on the water, don’t let a company man convince you to sign a “release” in exchange for a small check. Call us first at 1-888-ATTY-911.

Tier 2: Construction Accidents, Scaffold Falls, and Trench Collapses

The Town of Thompsons and the surrounding communities of Richmond and Sugar Land are seeing unprecedented commercial and infrastructure development. This construction boom has brought an increase in catastrophic job site injuries.

The Physics of a Trench Collapse

In the Town of Thompsons, a cubic yard of soil weighs approximately 3,000 pounds—the weight of a mid-sized car. OSHA standard 29 CFR 1926, Subpart P requires protective systems (shoring, shielding, or sloping) for any trench five feet or deeper. When a contractor ignores these rules to save time, and the trench wall fails, the worker is crushed.

Death from asphyxiation in a trench collapse occurs within three to five minutes because the weight of the soil prevents the lungs from expanding. Survivors often suffer from “crush syndrome,” where damaged muscle tissue releases myoglobin into the blood, causing acute kidney injury (ATN).

Scaffold Safety and Third-Party Liability

Falling from a scaffold is the #1 cause of construction fatalities. Often, these accidents in the Town of Thompsons occur because a subcontractor didn’t provide proper fall arrest systems or used defective planking. We identify the general contractor and the equipment manufacturer as third-party defendants to secure the multi-million dollar settlements our construction clients need for lifetime care.

As Rachel B. shared in her review: “Melani Rodriguez (closing coordinator) was really advocating for me… you never feel forgotten or put on the back burner. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM for your PI claims!” We treat every construction worker in the Town of Thompsons with the respect their labor deserves. Call (888) 288-9911 for a free case review.

Tier 2: PFAS “Forever Chemicals” and Water Contamination

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals used in firefighting foams (AFFF) and non-stick coatings. Because they have the strongest bonds in organic chemistry, they do not break down in the environment or the human body. They bioaccumulate, meaning the more you are exposed to in the Town of Thompsons, the higher the concentration in your blood.

Health Risks Linked to PFAS

The C8 Science Panel confirmed that PFAS exposure is causally linked to:

• Kidney cancer and testicular cancer.
• Ulcerative colitis.
• Thyroid disease.
• Pregnancy-induced hypertension.
• Liver damage and high cholesterol.

If you lived near a facility that used AFFF firefighting foam or an industrial plant with documented PFAS runoff in Fort Bend County, you may be entitled to compensation from the $12.5 billion settlement recently reached with 3M and DuPont. This area of law is evolving rapidly. We stay on top of the EPA’s April 2024 final rule setting drinking water limits at just 4 parts per TRILLION. If your water in the Town of Thompsons tested high for these toxins, call 1-888-ATTY-911.

Tier 2: FELA Railroad Worker Injuries in the Town of Thompsons

The Town of Thompsons is a crossroads for heavy rail traffic. Railroad workers are not covered by Texas workers’ comp; they are protected by the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). This 1908 law gives you the right to sue the railroad for failing to provide a safe workplace.

For conductors, engineers, and track workers in the Town of Thompsons, years of exposure to diesel exhaust and asbestos in locomotive brake shoes have led to cancers that railroads have known about for a century. A 2024 FELA verdict in Indiana reached $15 million for a single worker’s back injury, demonstrating the high value of these claims.

Railroads often use “company doctors” to minimize your injuries. We help you find independent medical experts who understand the “relaxed causation” standard under FELA. If the railroad was even 1% at fault for your leukemia or spinal injury, they are liable for your damages. Call (888) 288-9911 to speak with a FELA-experienced team.

Tier 2: Roundup (Glyphosate) and Pesticide Exposure

In the Town of Thompsons, many residents maintaining large properties or working in local agriculture have used Roundup (glyphosate) for years. IARC classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015, specifically linking it to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).

The “Monsanto Papers” revealed that the company ghostwrote scientific studies to claim the product was safe while knowing it could be genotoxic. If you have been diagnosed with DLBCL or another form of lymphoma after using Roundup in the Town of Thompsons, you may be eligible for a share of the billions in settlements currently being paid by Bayer. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you never pay out of pocket to hold these chemical giants accountable.

Tier 2: Radiation and RECA Claims

While RECA (Radiation Exposure Compensation Act) primarily applies to western states, many veterans and former nuclear workers living in the Town of Thompsons today were exposed during their service or at Department of Energy facilities. If you participated in on-site nuclear tests or worked in uranium mining between 1942 and 1990, you may qualify for a lump-sum payment of up to $150,000.

The RECA program was expanded in 2024 to include more communities. If you have leukemia, multiple myeloma, or primary cancers of the thyroid or breast, and you have a history of radiation exposure, we can help you navigate the federal bureaucracy to get your check. Call 1-888-ATTY-911.

Tier 2: Silica Dust and Engineered Stone Silicosis

A new epidemic is affecting young construction workers and countertop fabricators in the Town of Thompsons: “accelerated silicosis.” Engineered stone (quartz) contains over 90% crystalline silica, compared to 30% in natural granite. When these slabs are cut without proper ventilation, workers inhale massive amounts of respirable dust.

This dust kills your lung’s macrophages just like asbestos does, but much faster. We are seeing workers in their 20s and 30s requiring lung transplants. If you were a stone fabricator in Fort Bend County and were told you have “occupational asthma” or pulmonary fibrosis, you may actually have a multi-million dollar third-party product liability claim against the stone manufacturers who failed to warn you. Call (888) 288-9911 for an immediate evaluation.

Tier 2: Electrocution and High-Voltage Injuries

With the massive W.A. Parish plant nearby, electrical hazards are a daily reality for many in the Town of Thompsons. Electrocution at just 50 milliamps causes ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Beyond the immediate heart stoppage, high-voltage contact causes “internal cooking” of tissues along nerve and blood vessel pathways.

Electrocution survivors often develop delayed complications, including cataracts (1-3 year latency) and permanent peripheral neuropathy. Most of these accidents occur because a company violated Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures under 29 CFR 1910.147. We hold utility companies and contractors accountable for these life-altering events.

Why Time Is Your Enemy in Toxic Exposure Cases

In the Town of Thompsons, two distinct clocks are running against you:

1. The Statute of Limitations: In Texas, you generally have two years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) your illness and its cause to file a lawsuit. If you wait three years after a mesothelioma diagnosis, your claim may be barred forever.
2. Trust Fund Depletion: Asbestos bankruptcy trusts are finite pools of money. As more people file, the trusts lower their “payment percentages.” Filing your claim in 2026 is better than waiting until 2027.

Evidence also disappears. Every year you wait, an estimated 2-3% of the co-workers who could testify about the dust in the Town of Thompsons plants pass away. We move to record their depositions immediately to preserve the truth.

Ralph Manginello explains the critical nature of these timelines in our podcast: “Is There a Statute of Limitations on My Case?” Listen here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/bddc1426.

Multiple Compensation Pathways: Maximize Your Recovery

One of the biggest mistakes Town of Thompsons victims make is hiring a firm that only pursues one claim. At Attorney 911, we look for every possible source of money for your family:

• Asbestos Trusts: We file with as many of the 60+ trusts as you qualify for.
• Civil Lawsuits: We sue solvent companies for 100% of your damages.
• Workers’ Comp: We coordinate with your comp claim to ensure you have medical care today.
• VA Benefits: We help veterans secure service-connected disability for toxic exposure.
• Wrongful Death & Survival Actions: If a loved one has passed, we pursue both the family’s loss of companionship AND the victim’s pain and suffering prior to death.

As Christopher W. shared in his review: “Ralph & the Manginello law firm attorneys did more (in less than 8 weeks!) on my case than a previous attorney who had the case for OVER a year.” We don’t sit on cases; we move them toward resolution.

The Corporate Defense Playbook: We Know Their Tricks

Because Lupe Peña spent years on the defense side, we know exactly what these companies will try to do to avoid paying you:

1. The Identification Defense: They will claim you can’t prove their product was the one that made you sick. We use industrial hygiene experts to reconstruct your Town of Thompsons exposure and prove their product was a “substantial factor.”
2. The “Statute of Repose”: Some companies try to hide behind 10-15 year deadlines on construction projects. We use successor liability and discovery rule doctrines to pierce these defenses.
3. The Junk Science Defense: They hire experts to say “smoking caused your cancer.” We produce the peer-reviewed studies that show mesothelioma only has one primary cause: asbestos.

We turn their tactics against them. Watch Lupe’s insider perspective on depositions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qCwqfeRRs.

Educational Resources for Town of Thompsons Residents

Your health is the priority. If you have been diagnosed with an exposure-related disease, these institutions provide the world-class care you need:

• MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston): Located 28 miles from the Town of Thompsons, it is the #1 cancer hospital in the U.S. and has a dedicated mesothelioma program. https://www.mdanderson.org
• Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (UTHealth Houston): One of only ~20 NIOSH-funded research centers in the country, specializing in documenting work-related exposures. https://sph.uth.edu/research/centers/swcoeh/
• Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (Houston): The primary resource for veterans in the Town of Thompsons seeking toxic exposure screenings under the PACT Act. https://www.va.gov/houston-health-care/
• Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation: A national non-profit providing clinical trial matching and patient support. https://www.curemeso.org

Documentation from these experts is the bedrock of your legal case. Getting evaluation at an NCI-designated center like MD Anderson doesn’t just help you live longer; it proves to a jury that your diagnosis is accurate and severe.

Frequently Asked Questions for Town of Thompsons Workers

Can I file a claim if my exposure happened 30 years ago at the Town of Thompsons plant?

Yes. Under the Texas discovery rule, your time limit (statute of limitations) typically starts when you are diagnosed and find out it was caused by asbestos or benzene, not when you were first exposed.

What if I don’t know the names of the products I used?

That is our job. We maintain a database of products used at the W.A. Parish Generating Station and other local sites. We also use co-worker testimony to identify the specific brands of gaskets, valves, and insulation used in your unit.

Will filing a lawsuit get me fired from my job in Fort Bend County?

No. Federal laws including OSHA Section 11(c) and FELA prohibit employer retaliation. If a company in the Town of Thompsons retaliates against you for exercising your legal rights, we can add a separate retaliation claim to your case which often carries punitive damages.

I am an undocumented worker—do I have rights if I was exposed to chemicals?

Yes. Legal protections for a safe workplace apply to EVERYONE in Texas, regardless of immigration status. Your status is confidential and does not prevent you from recovering for medical bills and lost wages. Hablamos Español y estamos aquí para protegerle.

How much are mesothelioma settlements in the Town of Thompsons?

Every case is unique, but average combined recoveries from trust funds and lawsuits for mesothelioma range from $1 million to $2 million, with some trial verdicts exceeding $50 million. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes, but the money is there to support your family.

Can my family sue if my husband has already passed away?

Yes. You can file a “wrongful death” claim for your loss of support and companionship, and a “survival action” to recover for his medical bills and suffering. We have helped many families in the Town of Thompsons secure justice for loved ones who are no longer with us.

How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

Zero dollars upfront. We work on a 100% contingency fee. We pay for all the expert witnesses, medical records, and filing fees. We only get paid if we win your case. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

Who will actually handle my case? Will I talk to Ralph?

Unlike “billboard lawyers,” Ralph Manginello is personally involved in every case. As Jamin M. shared in his review: “Mr. Manginello guided me through the whole process with great expertise… He was tenacious, accessible, and determined.” You will have direct access to your legal team.

Take Action Today: Your Fighting Chance Starts with One Call

The corporations that exposed you to asbestos, benzene, or silica in the Town of Thompsons had entire departments specialized in managing their “legal liabilities.” They knew the risks, they hid the data, and they calculated that it was cheaper to let workers get sick than to install proper ventilation or provide safe insulation.
