Understanding Asbestos Exposure Claim
Exposed to Asbestos in Your Home or Building? You May Be Entitled to Compensation
Asbestos is a toxic material found in older homes and apartment buildings. Breathing asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other serious diseases — often years after exposure. Property owners have a duty to disclose and remediate asbestos hazards. When they fail, people get sick. The Brinton Firm helps people recover for injuries caused by asbestos exposure in unsafe or neglected buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue my landlord for asbestos exposure in my Los Angeles rental?
Yes. Landlords in California are required to disclose known asbestos and to ensure that asbestos-containing materials are properly managed or removed. If your landlord failed to disclose or address asbestos hazards and you suffered health consequences, you may have a valid claim.
What health conditions are caused by asbestos exposure in rental housing?
Asbestos exposure can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and pleural disease. These conditions often have a long latency period — symptoms may not appear for 10 to 50 years after exposure, which affects how and when you file a claim.
How long does it take for asbestos-related illness to develop?
Asbestos-related diseases have a long latency period — symptoms may not appear for 10 to 40 years after exposure. This is why it is important to document your exposure history and consult an attorney even if you are not yet experiencing serious symptoms.
How long do I have to file an asbestos exposure lawsuit in California?
California’s statute of limitations for asbestos injury claims is generally one year from the date you knew or should have known that your illness was caused by asbestos exposure. Because of the long latency period, the clock typically starts at diagnosis, not exposure.
What compensation can I recover for asbestos-related illness?
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In mesothelioma cases, damages can be substantial given the severity of the illness and the long-term impact on quality of life.
How much has The Brinton Firm recovered for clients?
The Brinton Firm has recovered over $51 million for clients injured by unsafe homes, buildings, and dangerous property conditions.
