The steps listed below are intended for those seeking information on Mesothelioma Lawsuits filed on their own behalf or a living family member.
Contact our law firm for information on filing wrongful death lawsuits for asbestos exposure.
Step 1: Seek Medical Assistance
We advise you to get help from a medical professional first. Explain your condition, asbestos exposure history, and they can conduct medical tests to confirm whether you have asbestos-related diseases.
You are also encouraged to retain evidence related to your living and working conditions to confirm that you have exposed to asbestos.
Securing an official mesothelioma diagnosis is essential for your mesothelioma claim.
Once your doctor confirms that you or your loved one has an asbestos-related disease, you can pursue financial compensation for your mesothelioma case.
Step 2: Contact a Mesothelioma Attorney
Once you are certain that asbestos exposure occurred in your case and you have an official mesothelioma diagnosis, you need to hire a lawyer to handle your asbestos lawsuit.
An experienced legal team will guide you through the mesothelioma lawsuit process and help you understand your options.
Asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits can be complicated for anyone without knowledge of the legal process.
Lawyers who specialize in asbestos lawsuits, mesothelioma lawsuits, and resulting wrongful death lawsuits can help you pursue financial compensation.
Step 3: Strengthen Your Case With Evidence
Gathering evidence is standard practice in any personal injury lawsuit and wrongful death lawsuit involving asbestos exposure and related diseases.
Anything that you can provide showing that asbestos exposure was the reason you developed mesothelioma is helpful.
Documentary evidence such as employment records, physical evidence (clothing, equipment), medical records, and more are helpful pieces of evidence in mesothelioma lawsuits.
Your attorney can oversee the evidence gathering to ensure that you cover everything.
Step 4: Assess Damages To Determine Your Mesothelioma Compensation
Asbestos victims will work with their lawyers to determine an accurate amount. Generally, calculating damages involves adding the total economic and non-economic losses.
Economic damages are factors that you can easily calculate, such as medicines and treatments for stomach, laryngeal, or lung cancer from exposure to asbestos products.
Meanwhile, non-economic damages include the pain and suffering that mesothelioma patients and their loved ones experience.
What Damages Can You Claim When You File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit?
As mentioned above, damages are the total amount of losses, economic and non-economic, incurred as the result of an accident, injury, toxic exposure, or more.
People exposed to asbestos may develop serious health conditions that greatly impact their quality of life and ability to work.
The losses suffered by mesothelioma victims can be devastating.
If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be eligible to pursue financial compensation for damages associated with your illness.
Successful mesothelioma lawsuits can provide significant financial compensation, covering the damages listed below.
Medical Expenses
Exposure to products containing asbestos can lead to various cancers, particularly mesothelioma.
Related expenses can range from lab tests, doctor consultations, medications, cancer treatment, physical therapy, and surgery.
Ongoing Treatments
Pursuing and winning a mesothelioma cancer lawsuit can entitle you to compensation for ongoing treatments.
A mesothelioma patient is a cancer patient, requiring extensive treatment and therapy.
Future Medical Costs
Mesothelioma cases can take months to a year to resolve.
However, some can linger for several years before patients can see a trial verdict or settlement.
Meanwhile, they will need follow-up care, for which successful asbestos-exposure lawsuits can secure compensation.
Permanent Disability
People suffering from mesothelioma may lose the ability to work and may require extensive therapy and treatment.
In terms of disability benefits, victims may be entitled to disability benefits if their temporary or permanent disability aligns with their asbestos exposure history.
In terms of VA Benefits, asbestos cases have a 100% disability rating when malignant mesothelioma cancer is involved.
Pain and Suffering
This non-economic damage refers to the emotional pain and mental anguish that a mesothelioma victim suffered due to their condition.
While it can be difficult to quantify, experienced asbestos attorneys can help determine the best course of action.
Cancer can strain romantic and family relationships.
The emotional impacts of victims and their family members are considered when filing a mesothelioma lawsuit.
Lost Wages or Earning Ability
If your asbestos injuries left you unable to work temporarily or permanently, you may be entitled to lost wage compensation.
Your successful claim will require the negligent party to pay what your attorney calculates as the lost wages you would have earned or the lost ability to earn money.
Punitive Damages
Victims of asbestos-related conditions can seek this type of damage as a way to punish liable parties for their recklessness in exposing people to dangerous products.
Punitive damages are different from compensatory damages because they aim to penalize the companies.
Talk to your attorney for more information about punitive damages in mesothelioma lawsuits.
How to Find an Experienced Mesothelioma Lawyer
Since asbestos and mesothelioma cases are complicated processes, you need experienced and dedicated lawyers to represent you.
