Frequently asked Questions
-
Mesothelioma often takes decades to develop after exposure. Symptoms may not appear until the disease is advanced, leading to significant challenges in accessing timely treatment. Consulting a mesothelioma lawyer is imperative to accessing the financial aid and specialized care you need to focus on your well-being.
-
The primary risk factor for mesothelioma is occupational exposure to asbestos. Some high-risk industries include construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, home remodeling, and mining, which can expose workers to dangerous levels of asbestos fibers. Veterans are also at a high risk of developing mesothelioma due to asbestos on military ships and bases.
No matter your unique circumstances, securing experienced representation is essential to seeking justice and compensation after a mesothelioma diagnosis. Our firm has decades of experience representing individuals from all industries and walks of life, giving you peace of mind that your case is in trusted hands.
-
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You have the legal right to hold those responsible for your exposure accountable for their negligence. Consulting a mesothelioma lawyer is essential to understanding your legal options, identifying responsible parties, and building a strong case.
-
Victims of mesothelioma may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Asbestos trust funds. In response to an overwhelming number of asbestos lawsuits, many asbestos manufacturers and companies filed for bankruptcy and established trust funds to provide victims with a mechanism for compensation.
- Wrongful death. If a victim passes away from mesothelioma, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, burial and burial costs, and outstanding medical debt in a wrongful death claim.
- Verdict awards. In some cases, a lawsuit may be filed against the asbestos company or manufacturer responsible for the mesothelioma diagnosis. These claims can lead to potential settlements or verdicts if they proceed to trial.
Our lawyers have a deep understanding of these legal nuances to assess your claim and pursue the maximum compensation available to you.
-
Longshoremen and other port workers often handled asbestos-containing cargo or worked in proximity to ships and port facilities that used asbestos for fireproofing and insulation. Exposure for longshoremen at the Port NOLA is a known risk factor for asbestos-related health conditions. If your father was diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of his employment, our attorneys can guide you and your loved ones through the legal intricacies of filing a claim and seeking justice.
-
If your loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma after working at Charity Hospital, asbestos exposure is a possible cause. Older public buildings often contain asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, boiler rooms, and other construction materials. Our lawyers can help your family seek compensation in a mesothelioma claim by gathering evidence, arranging expert testimonies, and working diligently to establish a link between the diagnosis and exposure.
