Mesothelioma is a very aggressive disease that usually requires expensive cancer treatments, travel to specialists and caregiving costs. Health insurance may not cover all of these costs, putting patients and their loved ones at risk of financial hardship.
Compensation for mesothelioma victims and their families can be used for:
The cost of medical expenses and medications
Travel costs to hospitals or medical specialists
Any lost wages for you and your caregiver
Your family’s financial future
Funeral expenses
Additionally, filing a mesothelioma case can hold the companies that knew of the dangers of asbestos accountable for their corporate greed, which can help reduce future wrongdoing.
