Editorial Standards

At Mesothelioma Lawyer Center, we set high standards for our editorial staff, which is reflected in our thoroughly-researched health, legal, community, and veteran-related articles.

Our team of experts works consistently to ensure our content educates and informs the public about the dangers of asbestos and the life-threatening illnesses caused by it, such as malignant mesothelioma.

MLC Editorial Process

MLC’s staff consists of experienced law firm professionals who work together to ensure our readers get high-quality, reader-friendly information. MLC strives to provide our audience with the most accurate and up-to-date data available. To do so, we follow a stringent editorial process.

Each article published on MLC goes through several steps to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Our expert writers come up with ideas and outlines and complete meticulous research. They then curate article drafts for approval by our legal team.

MLC articles are then reviewed and edited by a full team of lawyers specializing in mesothelioma and asbestos cases. Our attorneys have experience handling hundreds of asbestos claims and stay current on the latest legal happenings.

MLC relies only on trustworthy data from reliable sources backed by scientific studies and journals. Common sources MLC uses include:

• National Organization of Rare Disorders
• Peer-reviewed medical journals
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• American Cancer Society (ACS)
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
• Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO)

After our legal team reviews articles, a copy editor gives a final review to ensure each story is reader-friendly and grammatically correct.

All medical-related articles are cross-checked via reputable medical journals, health professionals, scientific reports, and medical journals. Newsworthy blog posts are fact-checked and verified by trustworthy news outlets, legal or medical reports, and field experts.

Our articles are regularly updated to ensure we have timely information available. If state laws, including statute of limitations or any other pertinent information change, we strive to update the details promptly.
