Lawsuits are perhaps the best way for mesothelioma victims to get the justice they deserve. You should not be intimidated by the legal process, and these questions should help illuminate how you can pursue financial compensation for your condition.
What is mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, and the heart.
What are the symptoms of mesothelioma?
Symptoms for mesothelioma include shortness of breath, chest pain, or coughing up blood. Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose because it shares symptoms with many different conditions, or natural signs of aging. Also, different types of mesothelioma cause different symptoms.
What should people do if diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease?
Victims should follow all the directions of their doctors, but they should also contact an attorney to see if they have reason to pursue legal action against the party responsible for their injuries.
Are there time constraints for filing a Mesothelioma suit?
Yes, individual states have laws called statues of limitations, which limit how much time victims can initiate legal action.
What does the compensation cover?
The compensation you could potentially receive can cover the mounting medical bills resulting from tests and treatment for your illness, the pain and suffering you have experienced as well as the mental anguish and grief suffered by yourself and your family, and financial security for your family after you have gone.
How can I afford to pay a lawyer?
Most mesothelioma lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means they don’t get paid unless you do. This ensures they will devote all their energy to winning your case.
