Mesothelioma Attorney in Panama City

Leaving the doctor's office with a positive mesothelioma diagnosis comes with a sense of betrayal. That's because you wouldn't intentionally expose yourself to asbestos if you knew the risks involved. Nine times out of ten, someone somewhere knew about this exposure but failed to take the right steps to prevent it or, at the very least, warn you.

You'll even be surprised to find out that the party responsible, usually a landlord, manufacturer, or employer, put profits over your own life. They knew warning you would be bad for business.

That's where a Panama City mesothelioma lawyer from Morgan and Morgan steps in to put all the pieces together. The goal here is to ensure that you receive the care you need and the compensation you deserve after the diagnosis.

We've fought for the rights of mesothelioma patients and their families for more than three decades and helped them secure multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts. You, as well, might be eligible for compensation. Contact us today to learn more.

FAQ

How Can a Morgan and Morgan Mesothelioma Attorney Help?

Our mesothelioma and asbestos exposure lawyers have the experience and resources to handle the complexities of mesothelioma cases. They can help identify the source of your asbestos exposure, determine the liable parties, and navigate the legal process for filing a claim. With our resources, we can also help gather medical and occupational evidence, negotiate with defendants and insurance companies, and even litigate in court if necessary.

What Damages Can a Mesothelioma Attorney Help Me Recover?

Depending on the nature of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

medical expenses related to mesothelioma treatment;
lost wages or loss of earning capacity;
pain and suffering;
loss of companionship and funeral expenses (when filing a claim on behalf of a loved one who died due to mesothelioma).

What Is the Value of My Mesothelioma Case?

You cannot determine that without looking at all the factors involved. Since each case is unique, a mesothelioma attorney from our team can provide an evaluation based on your specific situation.

Can I Sue a Company That Filed for Bankruptcy?

Yes, you can still pursue compensation if the company responsible for your asbestos exposure files for bankruptcy. Many companies that used asbestos and later filed for bankruptcy have established asbestos trust funds as part of their bankruptcy proceedings to compensate victims.

Can I File a Claim if I'm Unemployed?

Yes, you can. Your employment status at the time of diagnosis does not affect your eligibility to seek compensation for these damages.

Can I File a Claim if the Exposure Happened Many Years Ago?

Since mesothelioma has a long latency period, State laws often account for this by starting the statute of limitations from the date of diagnosis rather than the date of exposure. However, it's important to act promptly after diagnosis, as there are still legal time limits for filing a claim.
