Mesothelioma Compensation

Why Seek Compensation for Mesothelioma?

Asbestos companies knew that their products were dangerous, but they chose to prioritize their profits over the well-being of innocent people.

Pursuing mesothelioma compensation may allow you to hold companies accountable for causing your illness and provide for your family during this difficult time.

Mesothelioma compensation can be used for:

• Medical care: Treatments and procedures can slow the progression of mesothelioma, but medical expenses for this disease can cost over $400,000 a year — and insurance won’t cover everything.
• Travel costs: Cancer specialists may be located in other states, and the costs of traveling and securing a place to stay can add up quickly.
• Lost wages: Mesothelioma symptoms may prevent you from working, resulting in a sudden loss of income.
• Financial security: The financial burden of a serious diagnosis can quickly wipe out potential savings, but mesothelioma compensation can secure your family’s financial future.
• Funeral expenses: If a loved one passes away from mesothelioma, the cost of a funeral or memorial service may be significant. Mesothelioma compensation can help alleviate this financial strain.

With over 25 years of experience working on mesothelioma cases, our team has compiled warehouses of evidence dedicated to asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma Financial Compensation Options

Depending on what asbestos products you were exposed to and who made them, you may be eligible for mesothelioma financial compensation from multiple different options.

When you work with our asbestos exposure lawyers, we can pursue compensation from every available option in your case.

Mesothelioma Personal Injury Lawsuits

Personal injury lawsuits allow a victim with mesothelioma to hold the manufacturer(s) of the asbestos-containing products they were exposed to accountable.

Compensation from these lawsuits may help a victim pay for medical bills, transportation to treatment centers, and more.

Mesothelioma Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuits can provide families with financial security after an unexpected loss, allowing them time to grieve the death of their loved one without worrying about funeral expenses, hospital bills, or other costs.

A lawsuit for mesothelioma death compensation may be filed by:

• A victim’s child, parent, or spouse
• The victim’s estate representative

Find out if you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit and seek justice on behalf of your loved one.

Asbestos Compensation Claims with Mesothelioma Trusts

An asbestos trust fund is money set aside by a company that made, used, or sold asbestos products and has since declared bankruptcy. An estimated $30 billion is still available across every asbestos compensation fund.

Your attorney can pursue compensation from each of the mesothelioma trust funds you qualify for — without you ever having to leave the comfort of your home.

“I strive to achieve the best possible outcome for the people I represent because they deserve justice for the harm done to them and their loved ones.”
– Crystal Foley, Firm Partner

VA Compensation for Mesothelioma

Veterans with mesothelioma qualify for a 100% disability rating with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which awards more than $3,700 per month. Veterans may also be able to access health care benefits through the VA.

Our firm has VA-accredited mesothelioma attorneys on staff who can help veterans prepare their VA claims for benefits.
