Mesothelioma Attorney in Southfield

The elements of a mesothelioma claim typically involve proving:

• a diagnosis of mesothelioma;
• exposure to asbestos with evidence of when and where the exposure occurred;
• negligence or fault of the defendant;
• demonstrating they knew or should have known about the asbestos risk; and
• damages resulting from mesothelioma, such as medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

If your case meets these four elements, it’s likely that you may be eligible for compensation.

It depends on the specifics of your case. Generally, such claims are usually filed against the parties responsible for the exposure to asbestos.

This could be — and is not limited to — former employers, manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, or other entities that failed to protect you from asbestos harm.

If you win your mesothelioma case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses related to mesothelioma, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. The specific damages you're entitled to will depend on the details of your case, and that’s one of the things a Southfield mesothelioma lawyer from our team can help determine.

If you’re ready to hire an attorney from our team but are concerned about the costs involved, rest assured we won’t charge you anything unless we win. And if we win, we’ll only take a small percentage of the settlement or court award.  

That doesn’t necessarily mean you can't get compensation. Many companies that have declared bankruptcy due to asbestos-related lawsuits were required to establish asbestos trust funds. These funds are set up to compensate victims of asbestos exposure.

Our attorneys have fought for more than 500,000 families nationwide and recovered over $20 billion as compensation. Some of the families we’ve fought for have been impacted by mesothelioma in one way or another, just like you. If you believe you may have a valid case, please contact us today for a free evaluation.
