Why Seek Compensation for Mesothelioma?
Pursuing mesothelioma compensation may allow you to hold companies accountable for causing your illness and provide for your family during this difficult time.
Asbestos companies knew that their products were dangerous, but they chose to prioritize their profits over the well-being of innocent people.
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.
Simmons Hanly Conroy is deeply committed to giving you a powerful voice in the legal system. As a national mesothelioma law firm, we have the resources and experience necessary to stand up to large asbestos companies on your behalf.
“The financial freedom that came from filing a lawsuit was the one good thing that came out of something bad. It’s made the time I have left even better.”

Mesothelioma Financial Compensation Options
Depending on what asbestos products you were exposed to and who made them, you may be eligible for multiple different types of mesothelioma financial compensation.
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
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.
VA Compensation for Mesothelioma
Veterans with mesothelioma qualify for a 100% disability rating with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which is more than $3,600 per month. Mesothelioma 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.

- Whoever represents the victim’s estate
Mesothelioma death compensation claims are time-sensitive, so it’s crucial to contact an experienced asbestos law firm as soon as possible if you have lost a loved one due to mesothelioma.
How long do I have to pursue mesothelioma financial compensation?
Mesothelioma victims and their families only have a limited amount of time to pursue mesothelioma financial compensation due to laws known as the statutes of limitations.
These laws set a deadline for taking legal action, and they vary from state to state. However, some are as short as 1 year after the diagnosis or death of someone with mesothelioma
Once this time limit passes, you won’t be able to pursue mesothelioma compensation again. Don’t miss out on the financial compensation you deserve. Call (800) 326-8900 now to get started.
How long does a mesothelioma case take?
Because mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer, a mesothelioma case is often expedited for trial and can get scheduled in as few as 6-12 months.
However, if your case settles before going to trial, you may receive compensation for mesothelioma much quicker. Whether or not a case goes to court, it’s crucial to act quickly.
The sooner you move forward with your case, the sooner your family can achieve peace of mind and potentially start receiving mesothelioma financial compensation.

Will a legal claim affect my VA compensation for asbestos exposure?
You will still be able to pursue VA benefits for asbestos exposure after filing a mesothelioma legal claim for compensation. VA benefits can allow victims to receive additional compensation and access to health care.
Additionally, we won’t take legal action against the U.S. government. Instead, our mesothelioma lawsuits are filed against the asbestos companies that made the dangerous products you were exposed to.
