A mesothelioma diagnosis often brings more questions than answers. Many patients and families wonder not only how the disease developed, but also whether anyone can be held accountable. The good news is that mesothelioma victims and their loved ones have legal rights — and compensation may be available for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering.
At Savinis, Kane, & Gallucci, LLC, we’ve helped countless families across Pennsylvania and beyond pursue justice against the companies that exposed them to asbestos. Our attorneys understand both the legal and emotional challenges of these cases and are ready to guide you through every step of the process.
Am I Entitled to Compensation?
If your mesothelioma or asbestos-related illness was caused by exposure at work, in the military, or through consumer products, you may have a valid claim for compensation.
Our page on Am I Entitled to Compensation? explains the factors that determine eligibility, including where you were exposed, who was responsible, and how long ago the exposure occurred.
Even if you’re unsure where or how exposure happened, our firm can help investigate your background and identify potential sources.
Compensation for Family Members
Family members of mesothelioma victims may also be eligible for financial recovery. Surviving spouses, children, or dependents can often file wrongful death claims to recover compensation for medical costs, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship.

Bankruptcy Trusts for Mesothelioma Claims
Over the years, many asbestos manufacturers and employers filed for bankruptcy — but before doing so, they were required to set aside money in trust funds for victims. These funds allow patients and families to receive compensation even when the original company no longer exists.
