Directions For Filing A Mesothelioma Claim
Someone who is not an attorney will typically have a difficult time filing a claim for compensation after receiving a diagnosis of mesothelioma. Without sufficient knowledge and experience, an average person will become bogged down in evidence gathering, court rules and processes. But let’s imagine you are going to undertake this serious endeavor on your own. What steps will you take?
Keep in mind that a promising approach is to work closely on your mesothelioma case with a skilled plaintiff’s lawyer. At Savinis, Kane, & Gallucci, you have the opportunity to receive counsel and representation with experienced attorneys who get results.
The Steps To Success In A Nutshell
What follows is a greatly simplified summary of the process of filing a claim for compensation when your alleged exposure to asbestos has resulted in an asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma.
Step one: Confirm that your medical diagnosis indicates asbestos exposure in your past. Mesothelioma, for example, is caused solely by exposure to asbestos, according to medical experts.
Step two: Determine when and where you were likely exposed to asbestos. Most people with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos on the job somewhere, or perhaps by laundering clothes of someone who was working around asbestos regularly.
Step three: Do the legal work that has been proven to yield good results. Ideally, work with a plaintiff’s attorney with experience representing clients in negotiations, in mediation and at trial.
