Asbestos & Mesothelioma Lawyer
Finding the best mesothelioma specialist is critical to your health and well-being.
As you pursue a claim against the companies that harmed you, finding a qualified mesothelioma lawyer is just as important.
Why You Need an Experienced Mesothelioma Attorney
Asbestos manufacturers spent decades hiding the truth to protect their profits. Unfortunately, even now that the deadly effects of asbestos are widely recognized, these large companies and their legal teams still make it difficult for victims to recover the compensation they deserve.
During this stressful time, you and your family should be focused on your health.
A compassionate and experienced mesothelioma lawyer will be able to help you by:
Due to the time sensitivity of asbestos personal injury claims, you should not delay in seeking legal advice for mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, or any other asbestos-related disease. Learn more about us.
What to Look for When Choosing a Mesothelioma Lawyer
While a lawsuit and other funds may be options to pay for your asbestos-related losses, asbestos cases are complex and financial recovery is not guaranteed. In order to prevail, you must be able to prove that your past asbestos exposure caused your disease and that the disease in turn caused you losses.
This entails assembling an airtight case that leaves no doubt that an asbestos company is liable. The details of your exposure, including where and how it happened and which company supplied the asbestos, must be meticulously documented.
Only specialized law firms with attorneys highly experienced in the area of asbestos litigation are qualified to handle these nuanced cases.
A Qualified Mesothelioma Law Firm Will Be Able to Demonstrate:
How Much Does a Mesothelioma Lawyer Cost?
All reputable firms work on what’s known as a “contingency” basis, meaning that you pay nothing unless you win your case. Firms should also offer a free consultation, at which time you can assess not only legal credentials but also the level of customer service.
A successful asbestos litigation firm provides more than legal assistance. It offers peace of mind through the entirety of the claims process.
If you need legal help or have specific questions about the claims process, please contact us.
Keep in mind that many cases take up to a year to fully resolve but we can get you immediate compensation while the rest of your case is being finalized. Mesothelioma is accompanied by hardship, uncertainty, and stress. You’ll probably have many questions and concerns, so it’s important to choose a law firm that is attentive to, and respectful of, you and your family.
What Can Legal Compensation Help You With?
The high cost of U.S. medical care is the subject of frequent debate. Even for a minor ailment, medical costs can quickly escalate well beyond initial estimates.
For a complex, aggressive, and incurable disease like malignant mesothelioma — one that may require the services of several specialized doctors, multimodality treatment, and caregiver support — typical cost estimates begin high and often only get higher.
Here is a rundown of the expenses that most mesothelioma patients can expect to face:
In addition to the direct costs of mesothelioma, there are indirect costs such as:
It’s easy to see how the thousands of dollars per month needed to pay for cancer treatment can quickly add up to unmanageable sums. That’s why it’s critical to work with a law firm that will pursue every bit of compensation you and your family deserve.
A successful claim for full and fair compensation should account for the direct costs of all medical treatments and lost income, as well as non-economic losses you and your family experience, such as pain and suffering.
Types of Financial Compensation Available for Mesothelioma Victims
Finding the best mesothelioma specialist is critical to your health and well-being. As you pursue a claim against the companies that harmed you, finding a qualified mesothelioma lawyer is just as important.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be eligible for compensation and government benefits to help make you and your family financially whole. A knowledgeable asbestos attorney can help you explore:
Once your attorneys have documented your history of asbestos exposure, they will identify the best path forward for pursuing the maximum compensation you deserve. This may include filing multiple claims, depending on your work and service history.
Please contact us today to learn more about your options, including your right to file a wrongful death claim if you have lost a loved one to an asbestos disease.
Statute of Limitations on Mesothelioma Claims
The time you have to file a mesothelioma claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. In New York, for example, the statute of limitations for filing a claim can be as short as 90 days or as long as three years.
The clock begins ticking at the time of your diagnosis. Family members who have lost a loved to an asbestos disease also have a limited time to file a wrongful death claim.
It is important to take action as soon as possible to preserve your legal right to compensation. Mesothelioma is a devastating disease that can quickly take a toll on patients and their families. A dedicated attorney will want to get started on your case as soon as possible.
What if my loved one passes away in the middle of pursuing a claim?
If your loved one dies before a claim is settled or won, family members may be able to take over as plaintiffs in the claim. When you meet with our compassionate mesothelioma attorneys, we will explain how the process works and what you can expect. Contact our firm today to schedule a free consultation on your case.
