Important Information for Patients

Choosing an attorney or a lawyer is an intellectual process for a mesothelioma or asbestos lawsuit. The claim amount varies from $500,000 to $30 million.

The Facts of Your Situation

The value of your claim depends on

How many asbestos containing products you were exposed to
The number of identifiable defendants that still exist (many have declared bankruptcy)
Your age and earning capacity

The speed with which your case is disposed depends on the state where you worked and lived when you were exposed to asbestos.

Do not Delay filing the lawsuit because of the statute of limitations and financial pressure

Statutes of Limitations

You only have a limited time to file your case after diagnosis. The limitations are state specific and the clock usually starts ticking on the day of diagnosis.

Financial Pressure

This disease brings financial stress because of less income or low income, treatment expenses if not covered by insurance.

An experienced lawyer or law firm in mesothelioma cases will be an asset to advise you on doctors, treatment options and settlements.

Do not Choose

Do not decide an Attorney only seeing TV ads.

Do a through search for information on lawyers through media and decide the firm or lawyer. Choose a dedicated, ethical, experienced and trusted lawyer. The best lawyers are those that are not only expert at what they do, but are also caring, supportive, thoughtful and compassionate.
