🧹 Custodians & Janitors Mesothelioma Lawsuits

If you or a loved one who worked as a custodian or janitor has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer due to asbestos exposure, you may qualify to file a custodian or janitor mesothelioma lawsuit. Our experienced legal team helps custodians and janitorial staff pursue financial compensation by identifying the companies responsible for their asbestos exposure—often due to negligent practices and failure to provide safety warnings. We carefully build strong legal cases based on occupational and environmental exposure history, including asbestos exposure from floor tiles, ceiling panels, insulation, wallboard, boilers, cleaning tasks, and maintenance activities that released fibers in schools, offices, hospitals, and factories.

Through custodian and janitor mesothelioma lawsuits, victims may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care, and wrongful death. At Mesothelioma Help Center, we guide janitors, school custodians, building porters, and cleaning crews through every step of the legal process—with no upfront fees, and no payment unless we win. Our attorneys have decades of experience securing asbestos verdicts and asbestos trust fund claims, helping victims hold negligent corporations accountable and obtain the justice they deserve.
