Mesothelioma Claims

Filing a Mesothelioma claim against negligent asbestos manufacturers will assist in compensating you for expensive medical treatments, lost income, and suffering.

U. S. Courts have determined that asbestos manufacturers and distributors can be held liable for injuries developed as a result of exposure and are handing down multi-million dollars settlements and verdicts.  

The first Mesothelioma cancer case recorded in medical journals is in the early 1920s and the link with second-hand asbestos exposure in the 1960s.  

Mesothelioma lawsuits can be very complicated, and you will be asked to provide documentation of your work and medical history.  An experienced Mesothelioma attorney can help you determine whether additional expenses are covered under your asbestos claim.

Before a Mesothelioma lawsuit can be filed, a direct link must be established between the company, exposure to asbestos-containing products, and the Mesothelioma diagnosis.

2 Types of Mesothelioma Lawsuit Claims 

Mesothelioma Personal Injury Claims - Is a lawsuit that can be filed by any individual diagnosed with Mesothelioma.  

Mesothelioma Wrongful Death Claims - Is a lawsuit that can be filed on behalf of surviving family members if a family member has died from Mesothelioma.  

Most Mesothelioma lawsuits will settle out of court before a trial begins.

4 Steps in the Mesothelioma Claim Process 

Step 1: Filing of Case – This will determine which asbestos companies are liable to file your claim. Claimants will need to provide evidence of their workplace asbestos exposure.  

Step 2: Review of Case – Trustees will review your claim, medical history, and asbestos exposure, determining if you claim meets their criteria for financial compensation.   

Step 3: Liquidation – Trustees will determine how much financial compensation to payout. A Mesothelioma lawyer can negotiate an individual claim for a larger settlement than the fixed amount set up by asbestos trust funds.  

Step 4: Compensation Payment – When an agreement is reached with an asbestos company or asbestos trust fund, the settlement amount is paid to the victim.

Asbestos manufacturers of products and materials have admitted fault and set up trust funds to compensate workers for their asbestos exposure. There are more than 30 billion dollars in asbestos trust funds for patients diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer, asbestos lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases.

The Statutes of Limitations is the period a Mesothelioma victim has to file a lawsuit. 

Statute of Limitations for Mesothelioma and asbestos exposure varies from state to state.

The Statute of Limitations begins after a diagnosis or death by Mesothelioma, not the date of their exposure.  

An experienced Mesothelioma attorney can help you file a claim before your Statutes of Limitations expires.
