If you, a relative or a loved one has Mesothelioma, we can help. Many asbestos manufacturers and distributors knew for decades that asbestos was hazardous to your health, yet these companies made business decisions not to warn people, like you of the deadly hazards. As a result, you may have a right of recovery against those manufacturers, which can help defray the costs of medical treatment and provide compensation for pain and suffering. Many of the responsible companies have set aside large funds to compensate those injured by asbestos products.

YOU MAY BE ENTITLE TO MONEY DAMAGES:

If you are a victim of Mesothelioma, your eligibility for an award of damages will depend on several issues, which include:

a) Statute of Limitations

The first concern and challenge is to file within the statutory deadlines. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma, you only have a limited time to file, call our Firm as soon as possible.

If you are the executor of the estate of a person who has died from an asbestos-related disease or exposure, you may be able to file a claim but the claim must be within a short time of the victims death. A family member exposed in a secondary manner (for example, through asbestos fibers brought home on clothes by a parent who worked in an asbestos environment) may also be eligible to file a claim. Because of the statute of limitation issues, you should contact our Firm as soon as possible regarding your eligibility.

b) Identify Your Asbestos Exposure

If you have Mesothelioma, that alone is not grounds for damages. In order to establish a claim (against manufacturers, distributors, and/or contractors) it must be established that you had been exposed to the specific asbestos product at a specific location. If you do not remember the name of the manufacturer of the particular asbestos product that was used on your job site (that caused your asbestos-related disease). Contact us, for we may be able to discover the cause of the disease and trace its source.

c) Responsible Parties

Once the source has been determined and/or discover, our team will work to help locate and find the responsible parties who are capable of paying. For you to file a claim, we must be able to locate a company that is ultimately responsible and that company must still in business in some form or another and must be viable.

What will your compensation be for the damages?

As mentioned above, we will work with you to help you locate information about responsible parties for your asbestos exposure. The sum or amount of your award or compensation will be determined by factors such as lost income, the laws of the State, and the parties responsible. Compensation for Mesothelioma can vary from several hundred thousand to several million. The awarded lower figures are often because the responsible companies are now insolvent and/or have limited funds. Getting the highest possible compensation for your damages requires tough and experienced attorneys. If you have questions or need additional information call our Law Firm day or night at 1-800-862-1260.

More information about Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer. It affects the lining of the cavities around the lungs, stomach and heart. Most cases of mesothelioma are related to asbestos exposure. Some of the occupations that exposed workers to asbestos directly or indirectly are those involving carpentry, demolition, factory work, insulation, shipbuilding, installation of brake linings in vehicles, and many others. Despite efforts to eliminate asbestos from our environment, many public and private buildings still contain asbestos today.

The early symptoms of mesothelioma are generally nonspecific, and may lead to a delay in diagnosis. The first symptoms of mesothelioma are often shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, cough, nausea, pain in abdomen, or anemia. All of these symptoms are also caused by less serious illnesses, which make it difficult to recognize the disease in its early stages. If you have worked with or been exposed to asbestos you should get screened, even if you do not feel sick now. Call us now and we can help.

There is no certain cure for malignant mesothelioma; however, medical researchers have recently developed procedures that can slow the progress of the disease and extend, with quality, the lives of those suffering from it. The treatment options for mesothelioma depend on many factors, including: where the cancer is, the stage of the cancer, how far the cancer has spread, how the cancer cells look under the microscope, and the patient’s age and desires. Mesothelioma is treatable when diagnosed early.

If you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos at work, you may be able to claim compensation from the employer at the time of the exposure. Of course, no one is suggesting that anything can truly compensate you for being affected by mesothelioma, but it may be helpful for you and your family to have some extra funds to fall back on.
