About the Website
Our intention at gogaliher.com is to present an easy to understand and up-to-date guide for patients and their families coping with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases such as lung cancer and asbestosis. We recognize that the patient’s medical care comes before all else. We consult with the foremost doctors and do our best to remain abreast of the latest research and medical treatments available in the battle against this terrible disease. Our information is not a substitute for medical advice, but we try to provide as much relevant information as possible for patients and their doctors to make the best care and treatment decisions.
The website is sponsored by the law firm of Galiher DeRobertis Ono. The attorneys and legal assistants at the Galiher firm have over 30 years experience working on the often difficult and complicated medical and legal issues associated with mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases. As an authoritative source on mesothelioma and asbestos, our team is able to evaluate and synthesize the tremendous amount of information available online and elsewhere. We want to use our knowledge to not only provide current and relevant information, but also to give hope at a time when it is needed most.
Unlike many other sites about asbestos and mesothelioma, gogaliher.com is written and edited by members of the Galiher firm who have actual experience with mesothelioma patients and their families. We have met with clients, followed their medical treatment, communicated with their doctors and medical teams, helped file claims related to their injuries caused by asbestos and assisted the surviving estates and beneficiaries. We hope our unique perspective on the issues facing patients diagnosed with mesothelioma will offer some solace and clarity to what many would consider an overwhelming situation. We are committed to the search for a cure for this devastating and preventable disease.
We welcome any comments and suggestions to help improve our site.
