Mesothelioma Lawsuit

A mesothelioma lawsuit is a type of legal action taken against the companies that made or used asbestos-containing products.

Those diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases can hold asbestos companies liable for the injuries they suffered as a result of exposure to the company’s products.

Filing a mesothelioma cancer lawsuit can also secure compensation that can help patients pay for treatment and more.

If you or someone you love was diagnosed with mesothelioma — or recently passed away from this cancer — you may be able to file a lawsuit for mesothelioma.

Each state has a law, called the mesothelioma statute of limitations, that limits how long you have to take legal action, which makes it very important to act quickly if you think you have a case.

Contact Simmons Hanly Conroy today to see if you can file a claim to pursue compensation.

There are many reasons to file a mesothelioma lawsuit. While no amount of compensation can give you back your health, a mesothelioma lawsuit settlement may help cover your medical expenses and ensure your family’s financial security for years to come.

Asbestos exposure is the main cause of mesothelioma. This mineral was used by companies to make durable and fire-resistant products throughout the 20th century. However, these companies knew the health dangers of asbestos exposure as early as the 1930s.

Because of this, mesothelioma patients and their families are able to hold these companies accountable through mesothelioma cancer lawsuits. Call (800) 326-8900 now to learn more for free.

Compensation from a mesothelioma claim may or may not be subject to taxes. We recommend you consult a tax attorney regarding your specific situation.

No. While asbestos class action lawsuits may have been an option historically, your case will not be handled as a class action mesothelioma lawsuit.

All asbestos cases will be filed and prosecuted individually, instead of as a mesothelioma class action, so your case receives the individual attention and compensation it deserves.

Mesothelioma class action lawsuit settlements were unable to take into account the various different factors that can influence compensation amounts in individual claims, such as the:

• Duration of exposure
• Number of asbestos products and work sites involved
• Severity of the illness
