RIVERSIDE MESOTHELIOMA ATTORNEY

You’ll need to establish a clear link between your diagnosis and asbestos exposure. To do this, you need medical documentation confirming your mesothelioma diagnosis and evidence of where and how you were exposed to asbestos. 

Employment records, testimonies from coworkers, and historical data about asbestos use in your workplace or living environment can help answer the question of where and how you were exposed to asbestos. Expert testimonies from medical professionals can also strengthen your claim by correlating your condition directly to asbestos exposure.

Most companies that file for bankruptcy after being sued for asbestos exposure are usually required to open an asbestos fund. In that case, you can file a claim to an asbestos trust fund if one exists.

These trust funds are established during bankruptcy proceedings to compensate future asbestos claimants. A mesothelioma attorney from our team can guide you through the process of filing a claim through a trust fund.

Not every case of asbestos exposure leads to mesothelioma. The risk of developing mesothelioma increases with the duration and intensity of asbestos exposure, but the disease is relatively rare.

Some people with significant asbestos exposure never develop mesothelioma, while others with brief exposure do. Genetic factors and overall health can also play a role in the development of the disease.

At the time of writing, there is no definitive cure for mesothelioma. However, there are certain treatments that can help manage the disease, relieve symptoms, and potentially extend life expectancy. 

Possible treatments for mesothelioma include but are not limited to: 

• surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible;
• chemotherapy to kill cancer cells;
• immunotherapy (though not so common); and 
• radiation therapy to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. 

Treatment plans are often tailored to the individual, considering the type and stage of mesothelioma, as well as the patient's health and preferences.
