We did start that legal process about a year ago, and he died about 9 months ago. My dad had known asbestos exposure from the military and space programs, as well as some of his commercial work. The attorneys did several interviews with our family and work colleagues they could find before and after his passing, plus digging into other historical research of their own, and identified several companies that could have some culpability, including a few surprises. They have a choice of making settlement offers or going to trial. The whole process may take two more years. Since dad passed away before the lawsuit got started, it has changed from a negligence claim to wrongful death claim.

@sueligthart , given your much younger age, hopefully earlier stage, and access to Rochester, the options for you should be more numerous and the outlook much more promising. Just be proactive as heck about advocating for every aspect of your care, getting every corner looked under and every question answered for you.

Wishing you all the best!!!
