Asbestos and Mesothelioma
Asbestos was everywhere. It was in commercial buildings and private homes. Asbestos exposure unfortunately can lead to a diagnosis of terminal cancer or debilitating lung disease such as Mesothelioma. Victims worked directly or indirectly with asbestos and now are diagnosed with deadly consequences. We bring claims on the behalf of Victims of Asbestosis, Lung Disease and Mesothelioma among other cancers.
The lawyers in the firm of Schmidt-Salita Law Team have a long history of fighting for the rights of victims of Asbestos disease, Mesothelioma and other occupational diseases throughout northern Minnesota, the entire State of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. We fight for victims through Workers’ Comp claims and third-party lawsuits and help them through the process.

Workplace Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos was once widely used in hundreds of products and industrial materials as an insulator and flame retardant. Asbestos was discontinued and banned because of the health hazards but the effects are still lingering in people who get sick. The symptoms of Mesothelioma, Asbestos-related lung cancer and Asbestosis may not occur until 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years after exposure. Asbestos is still in older wiring, pipes, ceiling tiles, building materials and vehicles, and when the fibers are airborne it still is ingested and can cause serious problems.
We represent Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin workers exposed to asbestos in their jobs, such as:
Taconite workers
Plumbers and pipefitters
Electricians
Auto mechanics
Refinery and power plant workers
Remodeling and demolition workers
Teachers exposed during school renovation
Hospital workers
Construction workers
Contractors
Government employees
Utility workers
Asbestos abatement workers
Roofers
At Schmidt-Salita Law Team we discuss your employment history and have significant records with known asbestos-containing materials and job sites. We then pursue claims and lawsuits against those employers, mining companies, manufacturers and third parties for medical care, lost earnings, the victim’s pain and suffering, or the survivors’ losses.
