Mesothelioma
law firms negotiate high settlement for 78 year-old man in multi-defendant lawsuit.
Austin, Texas December 22, 2004 -- HendlerLaw of Austin, TX and Bilbrey & Hylla of Edwardsville, IL, recently negotiated settlements for mesothelioma victim Luke Lindau, a 78-year old Arlington Heights, IL man, totaling nearly $4 million (03-L-1913, Circuit Court, Madison County, IL). Mesothelioma is the incurable, deadly and extremely painful cancer caused by asbestos exposure. The expected survival rate for people diagnosed with mesothelioma is normally eight to twelve months.
Mr. Lindau, who is married, was exposed to large amounts of asbestos while working as a union painter and doing home remodeling work. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in October 2002. His lawsuit, which was filed a year ago in Madison County Circuit Court, recently came close to going to trial. Although Lindau was looking forward to telling his story in court, he and his counsel agreed that the settlement was the best course of action. “We believed that the defendants’ outrageous efforts to delay this trial would only hurt Mr. Lindau,” said Mike Bilbrey of Bilbrey & Hylla. “Our client’s interests were paramount in our decision to settle.”
Approximately 10 defendants, including Georgia-Pacific and Bondex paid a total of $3.25 million with additional compensation expected to be recovered from defendants who are establishing trust funds to compensate asbestos victims.
