California Judge Jacob Jager, retired, was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in October, 2010, a cancer caused from asbestos exposure. Eddins Law Firm, P.C. represented Judge Jager and his family in a lawsuit against multiple defendants that manufactured various asbestos products.

“I hired Mr. Eddins to represent me as lead trial counsel. I was extremely pleased with how my case was handled with such care and attention to detail. Mr. Eddins’ preparation, trial skills and aggressive approach resulted in the successful resolution of my case–far exceeding my expectations.” – Honorable Retired Judge Jacob Jager, October 10, 2011 mesothelioma settlement.
Typically a judge presides over the court proceedings, seeing that the trial is conducted impartially, hearing all witnesses, and sometimes handing out a final ruling. They are used to being addressed as “Your Honor” or “Judge” and ensuring a level of decorum is met by every attorney in their courtroom. They are also very familiar with legal tactics. The plaintiff in this case had over 33 years of judging the advocacy skills of attorneys that appeared before him in the role of a judge, and therefore particular about the attorney chosen as lead counsel.
“As mesothelioma trial attorneys, we prepare every case for trial expecting the case will be decided by a jury,” said Ron C. Eddins, founder of Eddins Law Firm. “I was honored to represent Judge Jager as trial counsel in his mesothelioma case.”
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer typically caused by asbestos exposure. Approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed annually with mesothelioma in the United States. Often asbestos exposure occurred in a work environment where unsuspecting workers were exposed to asbestos through various products. Companies knew that asbestos was dangerous and often chose to use and sell it regardless of the potential dangers to the public and their employees. The latency period for mesothelioma is as much as 40-50 years, affecting these workers later in life.
