While we represent cases throughout the country, Martzell & Bickford is a team of professionals that provide the services of a mesothelioma attorney. Baton Rouge is home to many homes and buildings that were originally built with asbestos many generations before we realized this material was harmful and could cause cancer. After lying dormant in your lungs for many years, this toxic substance can actually give rise to a devastating and aggressive form of lung cancer that may affect your breathing and ultimately affect your overall lifespan. If you believe you have been exposed to asbestos in the past and are now suffering from a variety of lung disorders, contact our team of medical and legal professionals today to learn more about how you can receive adequate compensation for your medical bills as well as your pain and suffering.
