Mesothelioma Cases Need Three Things

How Mesothelioma Can Affect You and Your Family

Medical Expenses

Mesothelioma treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, medications, specialist care, and other significant medical expenses. A claim may seek compensation for qualifying past and future medical costs.

Lost Income

Treatment and declining health can make it difficult or impossible to continue working. Compensation may be available for lost wages and, in some cases, reduced future earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Mesothelioma can cause significant physical pain, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and other symptoms that interfere with everyday life. Compensation may account for the physical and emotional effects of the disease.

Ongoing Care

Some patients need in-home assistance, medical equipment, transportation, rehabilitation, or other forms of ongoing care as their condition progresses.

Loss of Quality of Life

A mesothelioma diagnosis can affect your independence, hobbies, relationships, and ability to participate in activities you once enjoyed.

Family and Household Impact

When mesothelioma prevents someone from working, caring for family members, or handling everyday responsibilities, the effects can extend throughout the household.

Emotional Distress

A serious cancer diagnosis can cause fear, anxiety, depression, and emotional distress for patients and their loved ones.

End-of-Life Expenses

Families may face hospice care, funeral expenses, burial costs, and other financial burdens associated with a loved one’s illness and death.

Loss of Companionship

When mesothelioma results in death, eligible family members may be able to pursue compensation for certain losses associated with losing a spouse, parent, or other loved one.

Wrongful Death

If your loved one died from mesothelioma linked to asbestos exposure, your family may have legal options to hold responsible companies accountable through a wrongful death claim.

Ways We Can Help

Occupational Asbestos Exposure

Construction workers, shipyard workers, mechanics, industrial workers, electricians, plumbers, insulators, and workers in many other trades may have encountered asbestos on the job. We can investigate where and how your occupational exposure occurred.

Asbestos-Containing Products

Asbestos was used in insulation, gaskets, brakes, cement products, flooring, roofing materials, fireproofing, and many other products. We can investigate whether products you worked with or around contributed to your exposure.

Military Asbestos Exposure

Veterans may have encountered asbestos aboard ships, at military bases, in vehicle maintenance facilities, and in other military environments. A lawsuit against responsible asbestos companies is separate from a claim against the military itself.

Secondary Asbestos Exposure

Workers could unknowingly bring asbestos fibers home on their clothing, shoes, hair, or belongings, exposing spouses, children, and other household members. We can investigate potential secondary or take-home exposure.

Jobsite and Industrial Exposure

Factories, power plants, refineries, shipyards, construction sites, and other industrial facilities historically used asbestos-containing materials. We can investigate former job sites and the companies associated with them.

Wrongful Death Claims

If someone you love died from mesothelioma, eligible family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim against companies responsible for their asbestos exposure.
FAQ
  • What causes mesothelioma?

    Mesothelioma is strongly associated with exposure to asbestos. When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they can become lodged in the body and cause damage that may eventually lead to mesothelioma, often many years after the initial exposure.

  • How long after asbestos exposure can mesothelioma develop?

    Mesothelioma often has a long latency period, meaning the disease may not develop until decades after asbestos exposure. Even if you do not immediately remember where you encountered asbestos, an attorney may be able to investigate your employment, military, residential, and product history to identify potential sources.

  • Can I file a mesothelioma lawsuit if I don't know where I was exposed to asbestos?

    Potentially. Many people diagnosed with mesothelioma do not initially know exactly when or where their asbestos exposure occurred. Our attorneys can investigate your work history, jobsites, military service, products you used, and other potential sources to help determine how exposure may have happened and which companies may be responsible.

  • Can family file a claim if a loved one died from mesothelioma?

    Potentially. Depending on the circumstances and applicable state law, certain surviving family members or representatives of the estate may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim after a loved one dies from mesothelioma. Because filing deadlines vary, speaking with an attorney as soon as possible can help you understand your options.

  • Why should I choose Morgan & Morgan for my mesothelioma case?
