Introduction: Attorney Tracy Paulsen’s Experience
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen with Rightful Legal, and I’ve spent much of my career on both sides of complex asbestos litigation. Early in my practice, I defended corporations in product liability cases—giving me firsthand insight into how these companies operate, how they defend themselves, and the evidence they hope you’ll never find.
Today, I use that experience to stand with families whose lives have been changed forever by asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer.
How Asbestos Companies Hid the Truth
For decades, asbestos manufacturers knew their products were deadly yet continued to sell them without proper warnings—exposing workers, veterans, and families to a toxin that can take decades to reveal its full damage.
When a company’s product causes illness or death, that’s not just negligence. That’s corporate accountability through the law. A product liability lawsuit allows victims to hold companies responsible for designing, manufacturing, or selling dangerous asbestos-containing products without adequate safety warnings.
These cases are not about simple workplace accidents—they’re about defective, unsafe products that companies knowingly placed in the hands of hardworking Americans.
Common Asbestos Products & Exposure Sources
Common asbestos-containing products include:
- Pipe insulation and boiler materials
- Cement, drywall, and ceiling tiles
- Automotive brakes and clutches
- Gaskets, turbines, and industrial machinery
- Shipyard and Navy insulation materials
Even decades after exposure, these companies can still be held accountable if their products caused mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis.
Because I’ve seen how these corporations build their defense strategies from the inside, I know what evidence to look for, where it’s hidden, and how to prove liability.
Holding Corporations Accountable
When asbestos exposure leads to a loved one’s death, families have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. These lawsuits seek justice for families whose spouse, parent, or child died from mesothelioma, lung cancer, or another asbestos disease caused by negligent corporate conduct.
What Families Can Recover (Compensation Details)
Through a wrongful death claim, families may recover compensation for:
- Medical bills and treatment costs
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of companionship and support
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income and benefits
While no amount of money can replace a life, a successful claim can bring financial stability, accountability, and closure—forcing companies to answer for their actions.
Why Experience on Both Sides Matters
At Rightful Legal, we bring together compassion, expertise, and strategic insight to every asbestos case. Because I once defended these companies, I understand exactly how they minimize, delay, and deny claims—and I know how to overcome those tactics to secure justice for victims and their families.
We work with medical experts, occupational historians, and investigators nationwide to connect your diagnosis to specific asbestos products and build a case that stands up in court.
You don’t pay anything upfront—we only get paid if we win compensation for you.
