Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer primarily caused by asbestos exposure. It affects the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue covering most internal organs, including the lungs (pleural mesothelioma), abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma), heart (pericardial mesothelioma), and testicles (testicular mesothelioma).
Early symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent cough, abdominal swelling, pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. These symptoms are often mistaken for less severe conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis.
Mesothelioma is diagnosed using imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, combined with biopsies where a tissue sample is examined for cancer cells. Blood tests and other diagnostic tools may also detect biomarkers associated with mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is primarily caused by inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers. These fibers become lodged in the mesothelium, causing inflammation and scarring that can lead to cancerous cell growth. Occupational exposure, especially in industries like construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing, is the most common source.
The prognosis for mesothelioma patients varies depending on the stage at diagnosis, the type of mesothelioma, and the patient’s overall health. Early-stage mesothelioma has a better prognosis, with some patients living several years after diagnosis. However, advanced stages often have a poorer prognosis, with average survival ranging from 12 to 21 months.
To file a mesothelioma lawsuit, consult with a specialized mesothelioma attorney who will help gather necessary medical records, work history, and evidence of asbestos exposure. The attorney will then file the claim within the legal timeframe, negotiate with defendants, and represent you in court if necessary. Most victims receive numerous settlements and trust payouts depending on their work history and age.
Eligibility for compensation from a mesothelioma trust fund depends on factors such as your diagnosis, work history, and the specific criteria set by the trust. Generally, if you can prove exposure to asbestos from the company responsible for the trust and have a mesothelioma diagnosis, you may be eligible.
Our law firm has over 30 years of extensive experience in asbestos litigation, a proven track record of successful mesothelioma cases, and a commitment to providing compassionate and personalized client support. We’ve recovered over $2 billion for our clients, ensuring they receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
Compensation from a mesothelioma lawsuit can cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. Our average client receives approximately $1 million, with settlements typically ranging from $1 million to $2.4 million, but amounts can be higher or lower depending on the specifics of the case
Mesothelioma lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Their fees are usually a percentage of the settlement or judgment amount, so there are no upfront costs for their services
