FAQ

    What Does a Mesothelioma Lawyer Do?

    A Morgan and Morgan mesothelioma lawyer represents clients who've been diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure. Their role involves more than just legal representation in court; they also help:

    • investigate the case;
    • identify where and how the asbestos exposure occurred; 
    • determine the liable parties;
    • gather and prepare necessary evidence, including medical records and employment history; 
    • negotiate settlements;
    •  and, if necessary, represent clients in court. 

    What Damages Can Mesothelioma Attorney Help Me Recover?

    Where applicable, our mesothelioma attorney can help recover the following damages:

    • medical expenses related to mesothelioma treatment;
    • the wages you lost while receiving treatment or recovering;
    • the loss of your future earning capacity, especially if you can no longer work;
    • compensation for the pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life you've endured; and
    • funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship in cases of wrongful death.

    Remember, each case is unique, as are the damages you may be entitled to.

    Against Whom Do I File a Claim With?

    Depending on where you were exposed to asbestos, liability can fall on various parties. This could include former employers, manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, or companies responsible for installing or maintaining those products. If your exposure was due to living or working in a building with asbestos, the property owner or management company might be liable.

    When Is a Class Action Lawsuit Preferred in Mesothelioma Cases?

    A class action lawsuit works best in a scenario where a large group of people has been similarly affected by exposure to asbestos, typically from the same source, usually through employment or residential reasons. This approach can be efficient for handling many similar claims together and can be beneficial in cases against large companies. 

    When Is It Advisable To File a Private Lawsuit?

    Filing a private lawsuit works for cases with specific characteristics that might not align with those of other plaintiffs in a class action. This includes unique circumstances of asbestos exposure, different levels of illness severity, or particular legal needs.
