Braver Law Client, a Baltimore Auto Mechanic, Awarded $4.3 Million in Rare Testicular Mesothelioma Settlement

At Braver Law PLLC, we are dedicated to helping asbestos victims obtain the justice and compensation they deserve. We are proud to share that we recently helped secure a $4.3 million settlement for a Baltimore auto mechanic diagnosed with testicular mesothelioma, one of the rarest and most challenging forms of this asbestos-related disease.

Our client spent decades working in auto repair shops, routinely handling brake linings, clutches, gaskets, and other asbestos-containing parts common in the industry before the 1980s. Like so many mechanics, he was never informed of the serious health risks posed by the invisible fibers released during everyday tasks such as sanding brakes or blowing out dust. Years later, he was diagnosed with testicular mesothelioma,which accounts for less than 1% of all mesothelioma cases and forms in the lining around the testicles.

When he contacted us, he was dealing with a life-changing illness, significant medical expenses, lost income, and worry about his family’s future. Recognizing the complexity and rarity of testicular mesothelioma claims, we collaborated with an experienced co-counsel who brought specialized knowledge to the case. Together, we ensured the matter was handled with the thoroughness it required.

After negotiations, a $4.3 million settlement was reached — providing our client with meaningful financial relief so he canfocus on treatment and spending time with loved ones, without the burdens of atrial.

This outcome serves as a reminder that auto mechanics remain among the most under-recognized groups at risk for asbestos-related illnesses. If you or aloved one worked in auto repair, on vehicles, or with heavy equipment —especially before the 1980s — and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, or another asbestos-related condition, compensation may still be available from the $30 billion remaining in asbestos bankruptcy trust funds.

At Braver Law PLLC, we work on a contingency basis: no fees unless we win with mesothelioma begin receiving payments in as little as 90 days. We are here to listen, assess your situation, and help guide you toward thebest possible outcome.
