What to Know About Mesothelioma Lawsuits for Asbestos Exposure

According to the American Cancer Society, about 3,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer induced by asbestos exposure, and it is the deadliest of all asbestos-related cancers. Asbestos fibers can cause cancer to develop within the membrane, resulting in mesothelioma.

Those who have been exposed to asbestos and have been diagnosed years later may ask if they can sue for damages. Mesothelioma lawsuits are meant to assist victims and their families in obtaining financial compensation from negligent asbestos-containing product manufacturers.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, our mesothelioma attorneys can assist you in pursuing compensation from the manufacturers.

Who Can File an Asbestos Lawsuit?

Mesothelioma lawsuits may be eligible for those who have been affected by the mesothelioma disease. Mesothelioma cases obtain significant financial compensation from irresponsible asbestos product manufacturers, which can be used to assist in payment for treatment and other costs.

Your case must prove that asbestos exposure caused your or your family member’s mesothelioma diagnosis. If the victim is too ill or dies of cancer, an adult child, a spouse, or another estate representative may be allowed to file a case on their behalf.

The best approach to discover whether you are eligible to make an asbestos claim is to speak with an experienced mesothelioma lawyer. To learn if you qualify, contact a lawyer who specializes in mesothelioma litigation.

Types of Mesothelioma Lawsuits

There are several types of asbestos mesothelioma cases that you can pursue to seek financial compensation. Your lawyer will be able to choose which form of mesothelioma lawsuit to bring in your case.

Mesothelioma Wrongful Death Lawsuit

On behalf of loved ones who have died from mesothelioma, estate representatives may be entitled to file a wrongful death case. These wrongful death lawsuits are typically product liability claims made against dishonest manufacturers who sold their products, all while knowing that this contained asbestos.

The estate representative is frequently a family member, such as a spouse or adult child, the court can appoint anybody. It is also important to note that wrongful death laws differ from state to state, so speak with a lawyer to see if you have a case.

Mesothelioma Personal Injury Lawsuit

Mesothelioma personal injury lawsuits are filed when a person diagnosed with mesothelioma is still alive. In this case, the plaintiff is the mesothelioma patient, while the defendants are asbestos-containing product manufacturers.

Furthermore, if the mesothelioma victim dies before the case is completed, the estate can usually continue the personal injury action.

Compensation amounts for personal injury verdicts are computed using the standard factors:

  • The victim’s age
  • Medical treatment costs
  • Wage lost if the victim is unable to work anymore
  • The total number of defendants in the lawsuit
  • The number of dependents (spouse and children)
  • Travel expenses
  • Suffering and pain

With a free case analysis, an expert mesothelioma lawyer can help you estimate the potential worth of your personal injury case.
