A person diagnosed with mesothelioma that has been exposed to an asbestos product during their lifetime has the right to recover both against the manufacturer of the asbestos and the product utilizing asbestos. Very often, someone diagnosed with mesothelioma will have been exposed to multiple asbestos products over the course of their lifetime. The person will have the ability to pursue compensation directly with the manufacturers (defendant companies) and will also be able to administratively file for money against the $30 BILLION dollars of asbestos trust fund money that has been set aside for asbestos victims.
Asbestos was widely used in hundreds of products and on thousands of jobsites throughout most of the 20th century. Further, the latency period between exposure to asbestos and the development of mesothelioma can be as long as 20 to 70 years. Courts recognize this and most states have a provision that allows for the filing of a claim once the mesothelioma has been diagnosed. For example, if a person was exposed to asbestos during WWII the person will likely still be able to file a claim today if they were only recently diagnosed with mesothelioma.
This is a question that many families understandably have. Obviously when someone is diagnosed with mesothelioma the most important thing to a family is making sure that the person spends their time on medical treatment. The last thing anyone wants to do is get involved in a long protracted legal battle. The good news is that the 'legal' process for a mesothelioma lawsuit is relatively simple and very often does not require a great deal of time and energy from the injured. An experienced mesothelioma law firm can make the process even simpler. With the help of a law firm, the injured will likely be required to fill out some paperwork regarding asbestos exposure history and may also be required to answer some questions at a formalized questions and answers (known as deposition) in order to memorialize their testimony for the record. The law firm should handle the rest and will work to secure settlements from the defendants. Recoveries often exceed a million dollars and can go far to ensuring that the family has money for necessary medical treatments. It will also ensure financial security for the family in the future.
