Mesothelioma Attorney in West Palm Beach

A mesothelioma diagnosis really turns everything upside down. This rare and aggressive cancer, often tied to asbestos exposure, throws you into a tough physical journey. Dealing with symptoms like difficulty breathing and chest pain becomes a daily battle, especially with treatments like surgery and chemotherapy that can be pretty taxing on your overall health.

Emotionally, it's a rollercoaster—shock, disbelief, and this deep-seated fear that's hard to shake. Let's not forget the financial strain; medical bills pile up so fast, and if you can't work due to the illness, that loss of income hits hard. We’ve seen families sink deep into debt simply because they’ve exhausted all of their financial resources in funding treatment for their loved ones diagnosed with this aggressive cancer.

While we know that we cannot reverse the results of your diagnosis or bring back your loved one if they succumbed to this cancer, we might be able to help you obtain the financial compensation you need and deserve.

FAQ

What Should I Know About Filing a Mesothelioma Claim in West Palm Beach?

In this part of Florida, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, State law allows you to file a claim for compensation. This process involves proving that your mesothelioma was caused by exposure to asbestos. It could be at the workplace, residential area, or even while using a product that contains this carcinogen.

Against Whom Can I File a Claim With?

The claim can be against employers, manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, landlords, or other parties responsible for the exposure. If you have a viable claim, our West Tampa mesothelioma lawyer can help identify the party that might owe you compensation.

How Can I Determine Who Is Responsible for My Asbestos Exposure?

Your attorney will examine your work history, especially in industries known for asbestos use, such as construction, shipbuilding, or manufacturing. They’ll also review your employment records and identify products containing asbestos you might have used over the last decade or so.

What Types of Compensation Can I Seek in a Mesothelioma Lawsuit?

Typical compensation for mesothelioma covers various damages, including medical expenses related to your mesothelioma treatment, lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. If you're filing on behalf of a deceased loved one, you may also seek compensation for funeral expenses and loss of consortium.

What If the Company Responsible for My Exposure Is No Longer in Business?

You may still have options for compensation. Many companies have set up asbestos trust funds as part of their bankruptcy proceedings. These funds are designed to compensate individuals affected by asbestos exposure related to the company's products or operations.
