Once I Find a Lawyer, What Are My Legal Options?

Asbestos Trust Funds

Asbestos trust funds continue to grow as more and more companies associated with asbestos can’t keep up with the ongoing lawsuits against them. You don’t necessarily have to be an a former employee of the company to be compensated via an asbestos trust fund. It could be that the company supplied asbestos to another business, and because of this, the company with the trust fund is liable for any asbestos injuries that happened at the business that they supplied asbestos to.

Settlement

Most mesothelioma lawsuits result in a settlement. A settlement occurs when you settle the case out of court after the defendant offers a compensation amount that you agree with. Most defendants, when presented with the proof, are more likely to settle rather than go through a lengthy and financially exhausting trial. Learn more

Veterans Benefits

Military veterans who developed mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related illness during their time in service are eligible to apply for VA healthcare and VA disability benefits. If you can prove your illness is connected to your time in the military, it’s extremely like that you’ll get approved for VA benefits. Learn more

Common Legal Misconceptions

After you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or any other asbestos illness, you’ll likely run across myths online or hear them through word-of-mouth. These untrue statements can be dangerous, and can even end up costing someone their life.

I Was Exposed in the Military and Can’t Sue the Government

Another myth that’s actually prevented veterans from filing an asbestos lawsuit is that you cannot sue the government. While that is true, it’s not the government that will be held liable for your asbestos exposure. Instead, it’s the manufacturers that supplied asbestos products to the government that veterans can file against.

I Can’t Afford a Lawyer

The majority of mesothelioma lawyers don’t charge you anything up-front. They only get paid when you win, which is known as a contingency-based payment plan.

If I Don’t Know Where I Was Exposed, I Don’t Have a Case

There have been many cases in which people have won their lawsuits after an attorney uncovered where the asbestos exposure occurred, and it wasn’t always in the workplace.

Do I Have Time to Wait Before Filing My Claim?

Sadly, mesothelioma is an extremely aggressive disease with no cure. An average life expectancy after diagnosis is somewhere around 18 months. This isn’t always true, as some people are still living quality lives even 5-10 years after diagnosis.

It’s also important to keep your state’s statute of limitations in mind. Statute of limitations vary from state to state.

What If My Case Goes to Trial?

Although going to trial is not exactly an ideal way to spend your days, it becomes necessary if you can’t agree on a settlement amount, if the defendant refuses to settle, or if you don’t qualify for trust funds or VA benefits. On a positive note, trials tend to pay out more than settlements. Learn more

Will My Employer Get Sued?

Your lawyer usually will not file a lawsuit against your employer. Instead a lawsuit would be filed against the companies that manufactured asbestos products. Going as far back as the 1930’s, asbestos companies knew that their products caused many health issues, but opted to put profits over people, and hid their information.
