Texas Mesothelioma lawyer Nick Johnson of Johnson Law Group, with principal offices in Houston, Texas, announced today that they have signed more than a dozen new mesothelioma cases already in 2007. Unlike other law firms practicing mesothelioma cases that are downsizing, Johnson Law Group is staffing up for a heavier caseload this year.
"We are no longer doing medical malpractice cases," says Johnson. "We have found a common ground with doctors and lawyers in the area of mesothelioma. Most doctors do not realize until after we've met with them how blatantly negligent the manufacturers of asbestos have been throughout history. This type of case is so tragic and the blame is so easy to prove. At the same time, the cost of treatment is obviously astronomical. We believe we're helping patients not only recover a bit of justice but we're helping to provide the funds required for treatment through legal recourse."
Asbestos cases are recorded as far back as 1899, according to an abstract entitled "Curious Bodies" by Dr. H. Montague Murray, a London physician, who did a post mortem exam on an asbestos factory worker. It is believed that the asbestos industry has long concealed the research results from asbestos tests. Those tests proved conclusively the direct link between asbestos fibers and mesothelioma.
Johnson Law Group is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and practices in all areas of personal injury law and focuses on rollover/car accidents, mesothelioma lung cancer, PPH/Fen Phen, Paxil pharmaceutical cases, and nursing home abuse in more than 20 U.S. states and Mexico.
