Who Can File a Mesothelioma Claim?
Anyone diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure can file a claim. This right also extends to family members or estates who can file on behalf of someone who has died from mesothelioma.
Who Gets Compensation for Mesothelioma?
Compensation for mesothelioma usually goes to individuals diagnosed with the disease. In the event of their death, however, their family members or their estate may be eligible to receive this compensation.
How Is Compensation for Mesothelioma Calculated?
When determining a reasonable compensation for mesothelioma diagnosis or death, factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, and the cost of future care will definitely come into the picture. This also includes compensation for pain and suffering, and, in wrongful death cases, funeral costs and loss of financial support for the deceased's dependents.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Mesothelioma Case?
The time to settle a mesothelioma case varies from case to case. Some might settle in a few months, while others can take years, particularly those that go to trial. In short, the duration depends on the case's complexity, the parties involved, and their willingness to settle.
What Evidence Do I Need To Prove My Case?
Here, you need medical evidence of your diagnosis, proof of asbestos exposure, such as employment or residential records, and expert medical testimony linking your condition to asbestos. Documentation of financial impact and personal suffering can also help add more weight to your case. One thing you need to know is that each case is different, so whatever evidence you’ll need will depend on the uniqueness of your case, and that’s one of the things we can help you figure out.
What if My Employer Filed for Bankruptcy?
Don’t give up on your claim; might still be able to get compensation through asbestos trust funds. These are accounts established during the bankruptcy process to ensure victims can be compensated and that the companies responsible for this exposure don’t parachute themselves off the case to avoid liability.
