Mesothelioma Compensation

Let Us Fight for the Compensation You Deserve

Mesothelioma is a debilitating cancer whose only known cause is exposure to asbestos.

People who are diagnosed with mesothelioma may have worked with or around asbestos-containing materials, or they may have been exposed secondhand through a family member who worked with asbestos.

No matter your circumstances, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you have a right to demand compensation from the asbestos companies that put you at risk.

Can a Mesothelioma Patient’s Family Recover Compensation?        

If you have lost a family member to mesothelioma, our legal team can go over your options for pursuing compensation through a wrongful death claim. This could help you recover payment for your loved one’s medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering he or she was put through.

 

How Do Mesothelioma Asbestos Cases Work?

In mesothelioma cases, the key is identifying who is responsible for your asbestos exposure. This is generally not your former boss or the military (if you were exposed in the service). Rather, our lawyers will work to track down the companies that originally manufactured or supplied the asbestos products you were exposed to.

When you contact our New York mesothelioma law firm about your case, you can expect:

  • A partner in our firm will meet with you for a free case consultation. This can be done over the phone, at your home, or at a treatment facility ─ wherever is easiest for you. During this initial consultation, we will discuss your work history or service history to get an idea of how you may have been exposed to asbestos. We will also discuss your diagnosis, your treatment plan, and what you can expect from us.
  • Our mesothelioma attorneys will immediately begin researching your case. Because we have spent decades handling asbestos claims, we have a vast pool of resources at our disposal to track down information on the types of products you were exposed to. We may interview your former coworkers and/or obtain blueprints of the buildings, shipyards, or vessels where you worked. The evidence we gather will ultimately point to the asbestos companies that should be held accountable.
  • We will aggressively pursue compensation by filing a mesothelioma lawsuit and/or claims from asbestos trust funds. When filing these claims, we will provide extensive documentation showing who is responsible for your exposure, as well as records detailing your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatments. Many mesothelioma lawsuits end with settlement offers, rather than going all the way to a jury verdict. However, our litigation team is always prepared to argue for maximum compensation before a judge and jury if that’s what it takes.

During the claims process, our mesothelioma attorneys will keep you informed as your case progresses. In addition, partners Joseph Belluck and Jordan Fox are always available to answer your questions and discuss any concerns you may have.
