How to File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit in Pennsylvania

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma after asbestos exposure in Pennsylvania, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. This guide walks you through the process of filing a mesothelioma claim in Pennsylvania — and why choosing the right lawyer matters.

✅ Step 1 of How to File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit: Confirm Your Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Before you can file a claim, you’ll need a confirmed mesothelioma diagnosis from a qualified physician. Your medical records will serve as the foundation of your case.

✅ Step 2: Identify Where Exposure Occurred

Pennsylvania’s rich industrial history includes high-risk asbestos exposure sites like:

Steel mills (Pittsburgh, Johnstown)
Refineries and chemical plants
Shipyards in Philadelphia and Chester
Power plants and manufacturing facilities
Older schools, factories, and military bases

Even secondhand exposure (e.g., from a spouse’s contaminated work clothing) may qualify.

✅ Step 3: Choose an Experienced Mesothelioma Lawyer

You need a lawyer who understands Pennsylvania’s asbestos laws and court systems. Attorney Lee W. Davis has worked on asbestos-related cases since 1988 and has helped hundreds of families navigate complex claims. His experience spans both personal injury and asbestos trust fund claims, making him a trusted advocate across the region.

✅ Step 4: File Your Lawsuit or Trust Fund Claim

Depending on your exposure history and the company responsible, Lee may:

File a lawsuit in Pennsylvania state court
File a claim with asbestos bankruptcy trust funds
Help secure VA benefits for veterans exposed during service
File a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a loved one

✅ Step 5: Build Your Case and Seek Compensation

Lee will gather medical records, employment history, expert testimony, and exposure evidence. Most mesothelioma lawsuits in PA settle out of court, but a trial is always an option if fair compensation isn’t offered.

Lee was an excellent representative of the legal profession. I have had other lawyers in the past and they did not respond to emails or return phone calls. Mr Davis was very attentive and responded to all calls and emails.Mr Davis was a tremendous help for my situation. I was a defendant in a frivolous lawsuit. Lee was well prepared for our hearing and listened to my side of the lawsuit and represented me to the point he won the case for me.I highly recommend Lee Davis for any legal issue you may have. He will be a tremendous asset to you!!!

If I could give 100 stars I would. When you need to contact an attorney you most likely are in a storm you never expected you would be in. From the first conversation I had with Lee I knew I would be in great hands; his professionalism is stellar. Mr. Davis let me speak and put my mind at ease that what I was dealing with was not right. Lee was empathetic through all the emotions that go along with a legal case. Lee was compassionate and knowledgeable and worked hard during the legal process to make sure I was up-to-date with the current standing of my case along with being available to communicate in a speedy time period even if it was just to say, "I will call back as soon as possible." Lee fought hard for me and I was impressed by his knowledge, strategy skills, his honesty and the education he provided as the case proceeded to the next phase and what I should expect. I highly recommend Mr. Davis!

I met Lee Davis several years ago. I had the privilege of witnessing his professionalism in a number of courtroom settings. Not only did he conduct himself with confidence and eloquence, he was thoroughly prepared to go up against multiple defendants of major corporations. He did his homework and did not settle for mediocrity, and won. Since then, I have called upon him whenever I needed legal advice, even when it seemed like I could have gone to some internet application and done it myself. There is nothing simplistic about the law and I thoroughly trust Lee to handle any legal situation. When it comes to legal matters, I have full confidence in Lee.

Lee Davis exceeded our expectations in every way. He poured his heart and soul into our case. Everything he did showed his commitment to professionalism and the highest standards of jurisprudence. Lee was relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family. He was not content to settle for the lowball offers from just a few defendants. We had multiple defendants and Lee worked to maximize our settlement with each of them. Lee has my highest recommendation.
