TOP MESOTHELIOMA AND ASBESTOS LUNG CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS

Levy Konigsberg Recognizes and Honors the Top Mesothelioma and Asbestos Lung Cancer Treatment Centers in the Country

The first question a family afflicted with the news of an asbestos-related cancer diagnosis must answer is where they should seek medical treatment for their loved one. Across the country, medical institutions have made drastic strides in developing and expanding medical treatments available to mesothelioma patients and victims of asbestos lung cancer. Levy Konigsberg honors and recognizes some of the best institutions continuing to make progress in the fight against mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer:

Memorial Sloan Kettering

Located in New York City, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has treated mesothelioma patients from around the word for more than 130 years. The staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering are aggressive in their treatment of mesothelioma. Each patient is assigned a team of specialists, including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists, all with many years of experience treating mesothelioma. As a leader in the treatment and research of mesothelioma, Memorial Sloan Kettering offers a variety of clinical trials which focus on new drugs and novel approaches to treatment. Memorial Sloan Kettering also offers a cutting edge integrative medicine service, assisting patients in enhancing their quality of life through medical regimens which focus on mind, body and spirit.

M.D. Anderson

Located in Houston, the University of Texas MD Anderson Center has one stated goal, “to eliminate cancer in Texas, the nation, and the world.” Researchers at M.D. Anderson are currently involved in groundbreaking research focused on lesser-invasive radiation treatments, hoping to find new ways to target cancerous cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Staff at M.D. Anderson are also involved in continuing to develop novel treatments which show a potential in the advancement of mesothelioma treatment. In 2014, M.D. Anderson treated more than 127,000 families affected by cancer diagnoses. Researchers at M.D. Anderson are Since 19990, M.D. Anderson has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top cancer care centers in the nation.

Moffitt Cancer Center

Located in Tampa, Florida, the Moffit Center has been regularly recognized as one of the top cancer hospitals in the nation. Locally, the Moffit Cancer Center is the only hospital in Florida to have obtained the National Cancer Institute’s “Comprehensive Cancer Center” designation. This recognition symbolizes an institution’s scientific leadership, resources and the depth and breadth of their research in clinical science. Across the nation, there are only 45 certified Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Currently, the research staff at the Moffit Cancer Center are involved in an array of mesothelioma clinical trials, including studies focused on gene therapy, heated chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

University of Chicago

For over 25 years, medical staff at the University of Chicago have studied and researched mesothelioma and other cancers, providing treatment and support to thousands of families. Embracing the value of team-based medical education, staff at the University of Chicago hold weekly mesothelioma program meetings, sharing ideas and knowledge for the sole purpose of improving a patient’s quality of life. Through strategic partnerships with the National Cancer Institute, various drug manufacturers and other medical institutions, the University of Chicago is at the forefront of mesothelioma treatment research.

Mayo Clinic

With locations in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota, the Mayo Clinic is one of the largest providers of mesothelioma medical treatments in the country. Recently, the Mayo Clinic of Minnesota was recognized as one of the top cancer hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report in its 2015-2016 edition. The Mayo Clinic was also recognized, institution-wide, as maintaining one of the best “cancer” specialty services in the country. Experienced medical doctors at the Mayo Clinic regularly perform lifesaving and life-prolonging treatments for mesothelioma patients, including removal of lung and abdomen tissue, debulking procedures and removals of cancer-infested lungs. A major focus of the Mayo Clinic’s mesothelioma treatment is their staff’s dedication to listening, caring and answering. For more information on the May Clinic,click here.

Ochsner Cancer Center

Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Ochsner Center’s “Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center” has provided cancer treatment services for over 30 years.

National Cancer Center

The National Cancer Center in Bethesda, Maryland is the primary research hospital for the National Institute of Health, the federal government’s medical agency for biomedical research. Unlike other cancer institutes, the National Cancer Center is devoted exclusively to clinical investigations. Generally, the National Cancer Center accepts patients if their disease, including mesothelioma, meet strict guidelines for promising clinical trials. Although the National Cancer Institute engages only in clinical investigations, it is important to remember that today’s investigations become tomorrow’s treatments. While many mesothelioma patients may have discovered their illnesses too late for purposes of traditional treatment, clinical trials administered by the National Cancer Center offer hope for those left with no other treatment options.

NYU Langone Medical Center

New York University’s Langone Medical Center provides mesothelioma treatment and surgeries to individuals from around the globe.

Brigham & Women’s Hospital

Located in Boston, Massachusetts, Brigham & Women’s Hospital has been at the forefront of cancer research since its inception. In 2002, Brigham and Women’s was a founding member of the International Mesothelioma Program. This groundbreaking collective joins the knowledge, experience and resources of Brigham & Women’s, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, the Boston VA Health Care System and the Harvard School of Public Health, with the stated goal of developing “treatment strategies that extend life, while also supporting patients physically, emotionally and practically throughout treatment.” Along with traditional mesothelioma treatments and surgical procedures, Brigham & Women’s offers patients a “mesothelioma support team,” consisting of social workers, chaplaincy and patient liaisons.

A Long History of Success in Mesothelioma Cases

Countless lawyers who advertise themselves as mesothelioma attorneys have never actually handled an asbestos case before. In fact, they refer them out to real mesothelioma lawyers for a fee.

That is not how we operate.

We are true, experienced mesothelioma attorneys who personally work on each case from beginning to end. We are always happy to meet our clients, whether at our New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, Washington, or Maryland offices, at a client’s home or hospital, or anywhere in the country.

Our legal team has succeeded by negotiating tirelessly with manufacturers of asbestos products and their insurance companies, no matter how influential or uncooperative they are. We are even often able to recover compensation from companies that have long been bankrupt.

Most defense lawyers are familiar with our solid reputation and credentials and know in advance that we will not settle for less than the best possible offer. They know that we build every mesothelioma and asbestos case as if it is going to trial, and we have taken hundreds of cases to juries when a fair settlement had not been offered.

The mesothelioma attorneys at Levy Konigsberg have also served as lead counsel in major state and federal mass consolidation cases designed to benefit many hundreds of people diagnosed with mesothelioma and other types of asbestos-related diseases.

We are proud of the work our lawyers do on behalf of our clients, often in groundbreaking cases against the toughest defendants. Our law firm has obtained landmark asbestos and mesothelioma jury verdicts for exposures to welding rods, cable, asbestos gaskets and packing, commercial talc, and industrial equipment, including the first-ever jury verdicts against welding rod, cable, and commercial talk manufacturers.

Our law firm is frequently referenced by the legal press for our association with the largest and landmark asbestos and mesothelioma verdicts in virtually every category, including various jurisdictions, types of asbestos products involved, and forms of asbestos exposure.

We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for victims of mesothelioma and asbestos cancers, and we are prepared to fight for you.

Providing Your Case with the Individual Attention It Deserves

Unfortunately, many law firms today use a generalized approach to handling cases of the same type, even those as complex as mesothelioma cases.

With a goal of cutting back on the time spent on each case, they use broad-brush practices and techniques to process cases as fast as they can, often risking the possibility of missing important details in a case and, thus, undermining the goal of negotiating the best possible compensation for their clients.

Contrary to such mentality, we treat every case as if it was our only one. We investigate each case with a team of lawyers, paralegals, and leading experts in the field, all while being in constant communication with the clients, to ensure that we have done everything we could to reach the full potential of each individual case.

In many courts, mesothelioma cases are treated urgently and given high priority. This is particularly true if the claimant is alive. In some jurisdictions, the entire case can be resolved within four to five months; in others, it can take longer.

Here, at Levy Konigsberg, our mesothelioma cancer attorneys do everything possible to avoid delays and move our clients’ cases as quickly as we can. We accomplish this in large part due to the coordinated work of our team members and the fact that every mesothelioma case goes through a strict control and supervision, including regular follow-ups and reviews by the lead lawyers.

Our mesothelioma attorneys update clients on a regular basis, so that they always know of every important development on their case and that it is being taken care of. Our lawyers and support staff take every phone call with a high level of priority and try to answer them on the spot.

If unavailable at that very moment, we call clients back as promptly as possible. It is not uncommon that our mesothelioma attorneys provide clients with their personal cell phone numbers to address any urgent questions that the clients may have in the future.

ATTENTION: Mesothelioma has no known cure and often causes severe pain, suffering, and other types of damage, such as loss of consortium, and loss of income. Additionally, due to the exceedingly high cost of mesothelioma treatments, many families exhaust savings and accumulate financial debt in order to pay for the medical expenses of their family member.

Under the law of most states, pain and suffering from mesothelioma may be compensated through the award of money damages, usually obtained with the help of experienced mesothelioma attorneys. In some states other types of damages may also be recovered.

Asbestos litigation affords mesothelioma victims the opportunity to receive financial compensation and hold accountable the companies that caused their asbestos exposure.

IMPORTANT: If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer as early as possible to determine if you have a mesothelioma case and to:

• Preserve your rights to bring a legal action against the responsible parties within the limited time frame allowed by law, known as statute of limitations;
• Obtain maximum compensation in your case by being able to:
  • Preserve evidence and establish facts of the asbestos exposure while the claimant is still alive and able to provide information;
  • File and resolve a lawsuit against the responsible parties before they file for bankruptcy or, if they already have, to obtain compensation before their bankruptcy trust funds run out of money;
• Expedite your case, as courts tend to give higher priority to mesothelioma lawsuits where the claimant is still alive.

NOTE: We have offices located in New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, Washington, and Maryland. Many of our mesothelioma lawyers are licensed to practice law in a number of U.S. states and have the capability and extensive experience of representing mesothelioma clients throughout the United States. You are encouraged to contact us with any questions.

Since the 1970s, our founding partners were pioneers in championing the rights of asbestos and mesothelioma victims. In fact, Stan Levy was the first personal injury lawyer in the Northeast to pursue an asbestos case and one of the first mesothelioma attorneys in America.

Later, in 1985, he formed Levy Konigsberg with a mission to apply his extensive experience and legal knowledge to seek justice and financial compensation on behalf of asbestos and mesothelioma victims across the United States.
