MEDIA, PA – January 02, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Schuster Law has outlined the legal options available to individuals who have developed illnesses linked to asbestos exposure in Pennsylvania workplaces. The firm represents clients and families affected by asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, throughout Delaware County and surrounding communities.
“Many people exposed to asbestos are unaware of their rights or the time limits that govern legal claims,” said Ken R. Schuster, Esq., founder and managing attorney of Schuster Law. “Our focus is on identifying the source of exposure and ensuring that claims are filed in compliance with state and federal requirements.”
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Media, Pennsylvania, Schuster Law represents clients in personal injury, workers’ compensation, and occupational illness cases. The firm’s asbestos litigation practice addresses claims related to exposure that occurred in industrial facilities, construction sites, shipyards, and other environments where asbestos-containing materials were used. Each case is examined to determine when and where the exposure took place and whether responsible parties can be identified.
Asbestos exposure remains a concern for workers in trades such as construction, plumbing, electrical work, manufacturing, and ship repair. Even brief exposure can lead to long-term health consequences, as asbestos fibers can remain in the lungs for decades before symptoms appear. Schuster Law assists clients in obtaining medical evaluations and compiling employment records to establish a timeline of exposure that supports their legal claim.
The firm handles both personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from asbestos-related illnesses. Personal injury claims are typically filed by individuals diagnosed with an asbestos disease, while wrongful death actions are filed by surviving family members. Schuster Law ensures that claims are submitted within the applicable statute of limitations and that supporting medical documentation meets evidentiary standards for asbestos litigation.
In Pennsylvania, asbestos cases may proceed under state law or be consolidated in federal multidistrict litigation when multiple parties or manufacturers are involved. Schuster Law reviews each case to determine the appropriate jurisdiction and ensures compliance with procedural requirements for filing, discovery, and expert testimony. The firm also coordinates with occupational safety experts and industrial hygienists to identify potential sources of exposure, including insulation materials, brake linings, floor tiles, or construction products that contained asbestos fibers.
Compensation in asbestos-related cases can include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages where gross negligence can be established. Schuster Law assists clients in documenting these losses and negotiating with defendants or asbestos trust funds established by companies that have filed for bankruptcy. The firm’s attorneys manage claim preparation, submission, and verification processes to ensure timely resolution.
Many asbestos victims were exposed decades before diagnosis, making record collection and witness testimony critical to case development. Schuster Law uses investigative methods to locate employment records, supplier information, and historical documentation of workplace conditions. This evidence helps establish liability for exposure and identify entities responsible for maintaining unsafe environments.
Ken R. Schuster, Esq., has more than 30 years of experience in civil litigation and personal injury law. His leadership has guided the firm’s continued expansion into occupational illness representation, emphasizing precision, legal compliance, and thorough case preparation. Under his direction, Schuster Law remains committed to assisting Delaware County residents and their families in understanding their legal rights after asbestos exposure.
From its Media office, Schuster Law represents clients across Delaware County, including Chester, Springfield, Upper Darby, and nearby areas. The firm’s focus on asbestos exposure cases reflects its broader commitment to workplace safety, accountability, and access to justice for individuals affected by industrial hazards.
