Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral used in various industries for its fire-resistant properties. However, prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other respiratory conditions.
Asbestos exposure can lead to several different diseases, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These illnesses often take decades to manifest after exposure, making legal claims complex and time-sensitive. It is important to contact an attorney soon after a mesothelioma diagnosis due to specific deadlines for legal action.
Asbestos-related cases are highly specialized and require deep knowledge of environmental and occupational laws. An experienced mesothelioma attorney, like those at Breit Biniazan, is crucial for individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. They can help you navigate the legal complexities, identify the responsible parties, and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
Asbestos exposure can occur in a variety of ways, including in the workplace, through the use of asbestos-containing products, and environmental exposure from deteriorating buildings or industrial sites.
Asbestos exposure is a significant concern in Washington, particularly for individuals who have worked in industries that heavily utilized asbestos-containing materials. Those at risk of asbestos exposure in Washington include:
It’s essential for individuals who have been exposed to asbestos to seek medical attention and consult with a Washington mesothelioma lawyer to discuss their options for seeking compensation. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, such as mesothelioma or lung cancer, it’s essential to consult with a Washington mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your options for seeking compensation.
There are several types of diseases linked to asbestos exposure, including:
The severity of asbestos-related diseases depends on several factors, including the duration of exposure, the type of asbestos, and the individual’s health condition. The longer and more intense the exposure, the higher the risk of developing severe illnesses.
Employers, manufacturers, and property owners may be held liable if they failed to warn individuals about asbestos exposure or failed to follow safety regulations. Proving negligence in asbestos cases requires strong legal expertise and thorough investigation. Understanding the various aspects of filing a mesothelioma claim, including the types of compensation available and the statutes of limitations, is important for those diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses.
Victims of asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation for:
Additionally, asbestos trust funds provide a financial mechanism for compensating victims, offering quicker compensation compared to lawsuits.
Treatment for asbestos-related diseases often includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and rehabilitation. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes, but many cases are not diagnosed until the disease is advanced.
Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. These diseases can take years or even decades to manifest, making early diagnosis crucial.
Among the most notorious and aggressive of asbestos-related diseases is mesothelioma. This rare cancer affects the protective lining of vital organs, most commonly the lungs (pleural mesothelioma), but it can also affect the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma) and other organs. Mesothelioma’s lengthy latency period means it often remains dormant for decades before symptoms manifest, leading to delayed diagnoses and more advanced stages of the disease.
Asbestos exposure significantly elevates the risk of developing lung cancer. The carcinogenic nature of asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can lead to the formation of cancerous cells in the lung tissue. This risk is compounded in individuals who also smoke, as the combined effects of smoking and asbestos exposure drastically increase the likelihood of lung cancer.
Asbestosis is a chronic lung condition caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers. It results from the scarring of lung tissue due to the body’s attempts to eliminate trapped asbestos particles. Over time, this scarring can impair lung function, leading to symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
The delayed onset of symptoms in asbestos-related diseases underscores the critical importance of early diagnosis. Detecting these diseases in their initial stages can significantly impact treatment options and prognosis. Regular health check-ups and screenings are essential, especially for individuals with a history of asbestos exposure.

"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"
"Kevin and his team were very professional and personable! They were very knowledgeable with my case. I feel like I have made some great new friendships. Thank you guys!"
"Was very happy with the service I received from this office Staff is very helpful & friendly. After just a few months my case was resolved & my outcome was better than expected! Kellie Jennings kept me up to date and informed through it all. I have another pending case & have no reservations that the outcome will be as good as the first. I would recommend to family & friends."
"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"
"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case.

I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"
"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."
"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.
Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.
If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."
"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."
"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"
"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."
"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."
"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."
"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."
"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"
"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."
"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.
As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.
I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."
"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
