When should I contact a mesothelioma lawyer?
Due to statutes of limitations, families have only a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit. Statutes of limitations vary by state — and some are as short as one year from your date of diagnosis. Determining the statute of limitations for your unique case is complex and relies on many factors. For this reason, it is crucial to contact an experienced mesothelioma lawyer to determine your legal options.
My family member has died from mesothelioma. Can I file a lawsuit on their behalf?
Yes, a claim may still be filed — this is known as a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death lawsuits can be filed by the estate of someone whose life was needlessly taken by asbestos exposure. However, to file on behalf of the estate, you need to be the court-appointed estate representative.
What are the typical outcomes of mesothelioma cases?
If eligible, some mesothelioma victims may see an average settlement of $1 Million for a mesothelioma case settlement.
