Executive summary by James Howell
Because mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos, usually on the job, in most cases there will be grounds for a lawsuit against the person's employer at the time of the exposure. Additionally, the companies who produced the asbestos products are liable for the damage their products cause, and a mesothelioma lawsuit may be filed against them as well. If a person has died of mesothelioma, a lawsuit can be filed on their behalf by a family member or the executor of their estate.
Time Limits
It is important that you see a specialized mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible, as there is often a time limit for filing a claim.
Compensation
Make sure you find a lawyer that specializes in mesothelioma. Often mesothelioma lawyers advertise on television, as well as the Internet. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer will be able to offer you the best advice based upon your individual circumstances. Fortunately, mesothelioma lawyers typically don't get paid unless they win the case or reach a settlement out of court, so you will not have to worry about being unable to finance your mesothelioma lawsuit.
