What are my Legal Rights?

You and your loved ones may have legal rights related to your mesothelioma cancer diagnosis. You should consult an attorney as soon as possible if you are diagnosed with mesothelioma and you wish to seek compensation. You need to act quickly to preserve your testimony concerning your asbestos exposure. Additionally, the law of most states institutes a deadline, known as the statute of limitations, by which you must file your claim if you wish to pursue legal action. Time is of the essence for a number of reasons and you should act quickly to protect your rights.

The law of most states allows you to seek compensation for the physical pain, suffering and mental anguish you are suffering as a result of your mesothelioma diagnosis. Additional potential areas of recovery include: medical expenses, lost wages and punitive damages. In cases of wrongful death, these can still be pursued in many instances as well as claims for family members for the loss of their loved one. The facts of each case determine what types of damages or potential areas of recovery are available.
