Mesothelioma Attorney in Murfreesboro

You may be entitled to various damages, starting with medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and sometimes travel expenses for treatment. There's also compensation for pain and suffering, which covers the physical pain and emotional distress you've gone through. 

Suppose you lost a loved one to mesothelioma. In that case, you may be able to recover their medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and other damages, such as the loss of financial support and companionship.

Not really. To file a claim, you need a mesothelioma diagnosis. Just being exposed to asbestos might not be enough for a claim. However, if you've been exposed to asbestos for a while, you should keep track of your health and consult a doctor regularly. That's because mesothelioma can take years to develop.

Some of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma include:

• Shortness of breath
• Persistent coughing
• Chest or abdominal pain
• Fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Difficulty swallowing
• Swelling of the face or arms
• Fever or night sweats

Keep in mind that the symptoms above are not conclusive; you should get checked by a doctor if you suspect you've been affected.

Mesothelioma symptoms can take a long time to appear, usually between 20 and 50 years after asbestos exposure. This delay is one reason why mesothelioma often gets diagnosed at a later stage. It also explains why pursuing compensation for this cancer is usually challenging since the other side could easily argue that they were not responsible for the asbestos exposure. 

It depends on factors like medical costs, lost income, and the severity of your diagnosis. Each case is unique, so it's best to discuss this with an attorney who can give you a more personalized estimate.

Our army of attorneys works on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, so you won't have to worry about paying anything upfront.

Mesothelioma lawsuits can be filed against former employers, manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, or owners of premises where asbestos was present. Again, as mentioned earlier, each case is different, so it's generally a good idea to have it reviewed by an expert to establish when and who to sue.
