Mesothelioma Lawsuit Settlements After the Death of a Loved One: What Damages Can You Claim?
Wrongful death lawsuits differ from other mesothelioma cases.
Besides the fact that surviving family members claim damages on behalf of someone else, they can claim additional damages related to the passing of their loved one.
If your loved one died due to malignant mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases, here are the damages you can claim.
Loss of Companionship or Consortium
This refers to the loss of affection, companionship, and other emotional benefits the deceased’s company confers.
When you claim this damage, the mesothelioma lawsuit settlement compensates you for the emotional impact brought by your loved one’s passing.
Loss of Financial Support
Losing a loved one may also dent a family’s income.
To offset any financial difficulties from a loved one’s passing, most mesothelioma lawsuits often award victims the deceased’s lost wages and the wages the deceased would have made if they didn’t die.
Grief and Sorrow
Lastly, asbestos lawsuit settlements can also entitle victims to damages from grief and sorrow.
Grief and sorrow damages are hard to quantify into a set dollar amount.
Luckily, your attorney can maximize your mesothelioma lawsuit settlement amount.
Are Mesothelioma Settlements Taxable Income?
One of the most common questions about mesothelioma lawsuit settlements is whether or not the settlement from successful asbestos litigation is taxable or not.
The answer to this question is no.
Unlike other asbestos lawsuit settlement payouts, wrongful death settlements aren’t taxable.
According to the IRS guidelines, settlements from wrongful death mesothelioma claims compensate individuals for injuries and are exempted from taxation.
The Process for Filing Wrongful Death Lawsuits
To file a mesothelioma lawsuit, there are certain steps to follow that your mesothelioma lawyers will help you through.
By following these steps, you’ll strengthen your case and maximize your chance of securing a mesothelioma settlement.
Gather Evidence Showing That Your Loved One Was a Mesothelioma Patient
To prove your loved one’s injuries, you must gather evidence showing their mesothelioma diagnosis.
You should also gather and retain medical records if your loved one passed because of other asbestos-related illnesses.
Gather and Retain Any Evidence Proving the Deceased’s Asbestos Exposure
Establishing evidence of your loved one’s asbestos exposure is crucial for strengthening your wrongful death claim.
Documented proof to demonstrate that asbestos exposure occurred, such as employment records, witness testimony, and other pieces of evidence showing that your loved one was exposed to asbestos is extremely important.
Designate an Executor
An executor is the personal representative of the deceased’s family.
In many states, only the executor can file the wrongful death claim.
In many states, the state appoints executors through the probate courts.
Once the probate courts appoint an executor, the executor files a wrongful death claim on behalf of the surviving family members.
An experienced mesothelioma lawyer can help you with this part of the process and provide guidance on how to approach filing wrongful death lawsuits for asbestos exposure.
