For decades, asbestos was widely used in construction, shipbuilding, and industrial manufacturing throughout the Greater New Orleans area. As a result, generations of workers were unknowingly exposed to dangerous asbestos fibers, a material known to cause life-threatening illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

If you or a loved one worked at an Orleans Parish job site and has received a mesothelioma or asbestos-related disease diagnosis, The Law Office of Philip C. Hoffman can help. We represent workers, veterans, and families who have been affected by toxic asbestos exposure and fight to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Even if you’re unsure exactly where or how your exposure occurred, we can help. Our experienced team can investigate your work history, identify likely sources of exposure, and build a strong case for financial recovery.
