Mesothelioma Frequently Asked Questions

No attorney can predict how much compensation you will receive, or even guarantee that you will receive compensation, because every case is unique. Having fully investigated your claim, our King Law Firm mesothelioma lawyers will let you know what we hope to achieve with your case

A spouse or family member of a person who has died of mesothelioma can bring a wrongful death lawsuit.

In order to protect your legal rights, you should act as soon as possible.

A King Law Firm mesothelioma lawyer will represent you with no out-of-pocket costs. At King Law Firm, we handle cases on a “contingency fee” basis, which means that you will not have to pay legal fees or expenses until the case is resolved in your favor. Our legal services are not compensated if you do not obtain compensation. We receive our legal fee as a percentage of the total settlement and receive reimbursement for court costs and litigation expenses out of your settlement. By doing so, those without the financial ability to pay for a mesothelioma attorney will be able to receive the legal assistance they need, without worrying about how they can afford it.

When doctors tell mesothelioma patients that the cancer was caused by asbestos, some of the patients are surprised. Asbestos exposure may not be immediately apparent to mesothelioma patients. A wide variety of products once contained asbestos. Mesothelioma lawyers and staff at King Law Firm can review your history and investigate how you were exposed to asbestos.

Mesothelioma cases often settle out of court, but we won’t recommend one unless we think it will benefit you. We have achieved high-value settlements for our clients at King Law Firm. Nevertheless, sometimes it may be necessary to go to trial in order to get the compensation you deserve.

If a company files for bankruptcy, you cannot sue it. However, many currently bankrupt companies that manufactured asbestos products had to establish a trust fund to compensate asbestos exposure victims. While bankruptcy trust funds provide less compensation than what you would have received if the company had not filed for bankruptcy, they may be your only option for compensation. Depending on your eligibility, our asbestos attorneys will evaluate your case and file claims on your behalf through bankruptcy trust funds.

In most states, if a person dies before their asbestos lawsuit has concluded, their loved ones may pursue the case. An individual’s last will and testament can specify who will receive any compensation that is due to them. Family members might also be able to claim compensation for their personal losses, depending on applicable law.
