How Can a Mesothelioma Lawyer Help You?

Mesothelioma and asbestos-exposure cases are complex. They involve medical, legal and industrial evidence stretching back decades. A lawyer who focuses on mesothelioma cases understands the challenges, such as missed trust fund claims, strict statutes of limitations and the difficulty of proving exposure.

Without experienced counsel, mesothelioma patients risk losing access to important compensation sources. A mesothelioma attorney identifies asbestos exposure sources, accesses trust funds, manages deadlines, builds strong cases with expert medical and industrial evidence and helps maximize compensation to cover treatment costs and lost wages. Nemeroff Law’s specialized team navigates these complexities to ensure clients get the compensation they deserve.

Types of Mesothelioma & Asbestos Claims We Handle

Nemeroff Law guides clients through filing, pursuing compensation and navigating complex legal requirements. We handle many types of asbestos-related claims, including lawsuits and  asbestos trust fund claims.

• Asbestos trust fund claims: These are claims filed directly with trusts bankrupt companies create during the Chapter 11 process to provide compensation to patients and their families.
• Personal-injury lawsuits: Patients file these lawsuits to seek compensation when injured on the job, as a result of secondary exposure (when a loved one accidentally brings asbestos fibers home from work) or when using asbestos-contaminated products (e.g. flooring, insulation or talc)
• Premises liability claim: A lawsuit against property owners for asbestos exposure and resulting illness as a result of their failure to maintain safe conditions, disclose asbestos presence or properly remediate hazardous materials on their property.
• Wrongful death lawsuits: Family members who lose a loved one as a result of asbestos exposure can file a lawsuit seeking compensation for medical debt, lost wages, funeral costs and loss of companionship.

Most asbestos personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are product liability cases because nearly all exposure comes from asbestos-containing products like insulation, brake linings or construction materials. Product liability is the legal theory that explains why manufacturers can be held responsible when their products harm people. Personal injury lawsuits allow living patients to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering, while wrongful death lawsuits allow surviving family members to recover compensation for funeral costs, loss of financial support and loss of companionship.

Our attorneys hold manufacturers and sellers accountable. We have a record of success proving asbestos-containing products caused harm and companies failed to warn or protect the public despite knowing the risks.

Potential Compensation in Mesothelioma Cases

Compensation for mesothelioma can cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and funeral expenses. Award amounts vary depending on case details like exposure history, disease severity and the number of defendants involved.

Mesothelioma lawsuit settlements typically range from $1 million to $2 million. Trial verdicts can be higher, averaging between $5 million and $20.7 million. Trust fund payouts tend to be lower, often ranging from $300,000 to $400,000, but they offer faster access to compensation.

Factors affecting compensation include the companies responsible, length and type of asbestos exposure, jurisdiction and available evidence. Most settlements provide quicker, guaranteed payment without the uncertainty of trial outcomes. Nemeroff Law’s experienced mesothelioma attorneys work diligently to maximize compensation to ease financial burdens and improve quality of life for clients and their families.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mesothelioma Lawyers

Q. How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim?

A: The time to file your claim, called the statute of limitations, varies from state to state. It can be as short as one year from diagnosis or the death of a loved one. Acting quickly can protect your right to compensation. Nemeroff Law can help you understand deadlines for your case.

Q. What costs will I pay to hire a mesothelioma lawyer?

A: Nemeroff Law works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. You won’t have upfront fees or out-of-pocket expenses. If we secure compensation, our fee comes as a percentage of your award.

Q. Can family members file a claim if a loved one dies from mesothelioma?

A: Yes. Eligible family members, such as spouses and dependent children, can file wrongful death claims. These claims seek damages for funeral costs, loss of care and other related expenses.

Q. How will you determine how my asbestos exposure occurred and who is liable?

A: Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation. We review your work history, medical records and exposure sites. We gather evidence and consult experts to identify the companies responsible for your asbestos exposure.
