Fighting for Victims of Asbestos Exposure Across Louisiana
A diagnosis of mesothelioma changes everything. It is aggressive, life-altering, and almost always preventable. For decades, companies knew the dangers of asbestos—and failed to protect workers and families.
At Allan Berger & Associates, P.L.C., we hold those companies accountable.
With over 40 years of litigation experience, our firm represents individuals and families affected by mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases. We pursue maximum compensation so you can focus on treatment, your family, and your future.

What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. It often develops decades after exposure, meaning many victims are only now discovering the consequences of unsafe working conditions from years ago.
Common types include:
- Pleural mesothelioma (lungs)
- Peritoneal mesothelioma (abdomen)
- Pericardial mesothelioma (heart lining)
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, legal action may be available—even if exposure occurred decades ago.

How Asbestos Exposure Happens
Many of our clients were exposed to asbestos without ever being warned of the risks. Exposure frequently occurred in:
- Shipyards and maritime work
- Oil refineries and chemical plants
- Construction and demolition sites
- Power plants and industrial facilities
- Military service, especially Navy veterans
Secondary exposure is also common—family members exposed through contaminated clothing.
