Michael C. Schafle, Esq. · Philadelphia

Michael C. Schafle, Esq. represents mesothelioma patients and their families across Pennsylvania from his office on South Broad Street in Philadelphia. He is admitted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and is counsel in the Philadelphia asbestos docket, one of the longest-running asbestos court programs in the country. Where you live in Pennsylvania does not decide whether he can take your case. It only shapes how the case is built.

How a Statewide Mesothelioma Lawyer Builds an Asbestos Case

A mesothelioma case is built from records. These include employment files, union rosters, Social Security earnings histories, military service records, medical charts, and evidence showing which asbestos products were used at a job site. Very little of that depends on where the attorney’s office is. Records can be requested from anywhere, and the legal tools for obtaining them extend across the state and beyond. Proving that a specific product reached a specific workplace is done the same way for a mill town in the Monongahela Valley as for a refinery in South Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania Asbestos Exposure History by Town

What changes from city to city is the exposure history. Each Pennsylvania industrial town had its own employers, job sites, and products, and knowing them is a large part of the work. That is why this site maintains a separate page for each city and a library of Pennsylvania asbestos-exposure sites.

Most people with this diagnosis are in treatment, and many have serious health limitations. So the case comes to the client. Michael meets families at home, in the hospital, or by phone and video when that is easier. If your testimony is needed, a deposition is usually arranged close to home and scheduled around treatment. Your family’s role is to share what it remembers. The office handles the rest.

Where to File a Pennsylvania Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Pennsylvania venue rules often allow a family to file a case in more than one county. The options depend on where the exposure happened and where the companies being sued do business. Philadelphia has run a dedicated asbestos program for many years, and in many cases, it is a proper and sensible choice. For others, the county where the exposure occurred is the better fit. The decision is made on a case-by-case basis, weighing the defendants, the exposure sites, and the client’s health, and it is one of the first things reviewed after your initial consultation.

Free Mesothelioma Case Review for Pennsylvania Families

You do not need a lawyer in your own zip code, and you do not need to understand venue law before you call. All you need is your family’s work history, even if it is only roughly remembered, and a copy of the diagnosis. Legal deadlines apply to these claims, so it is wise to start the conversation soon. From there, questions about how a lawsuit works, what compensation can cover, and what changes for veterans all have answers.
