FAQ
Morgan & Morgan
What Should I Do if I Have Been Diagnosed With Mesothelioma?
First things first, take care of your health. You should seek the best medical treatment you can. Secondly, start documenting everything related to your diagnosis and potential asbestos exposure. Then, as soon as you are able, contact Morgan and Morgan to have your case reviewed by a mesothelioma expert.
What Are My Rights After a Mesothelioma Diagnosis?
You have the right to seek compensation if your mesothelioma is linked to asbestos exposure, especially due to someone else's negligence. This can include filing a lawsuit against responsible parties, claiming workers' compensation, or applying to asbestos trust funds, depending on your exposure history.
Is Workers' Compensation Enough To Settle My Claim?
Workers' compensation can help, but it's just like a drop of ink in the ocean compared to what you need to sustain your treatment and other expenses. Also, keep in mind that while workers' comp might cover medical expenses and lost wages, it may not fully address things like pain and suffering or future treatment costs. That's why you need someone with experience handling these cases to maximize your claim.
Who Else Can I File a Claim With?
Besides your employer (if you were exposed to asbestos at your place of employment), you might be able to file claims against manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, property owners, or asbestos trust funds. It all depends on how you were exposed to this harmful material.
What Do I Need To Prove My Mesothelioma Case?
Your medical records confirming your mesothelioma diagnosis, evidence of asbestos exposure, and a link between the exposure and your diagnosis are possible proof of asbestos exposure. When you involve a powerful injury firm like Morgan and Morgan, we can help obtain testimonies from occupational experts and medical professionals and also dig into the defendant's past to unravel the truth about your diagnosis and their responsibility.
Can I Sue a Landlord for Asbestos Exposure?
Yes, if your landlord knew about the asbestos and didn't take proper action to remove it or warn you, you might have a case against them for your exposure and subsequent illness.
How Much Will It Cost To Hire a Mesothelioma Attorney?
Our mesothelioma attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. In other words, we only get paid if we win.
Who Receives Compensation for Mesothelioma?
Compensation for mesothelioma usually goes to the individual diagnosed with the disease. In the case of wrongful death caused by mesothelioma, their family members or the executors of their estate can pursue compensation.
