Mesothelioma Lawyer

You must have a confirmed medical diagnosis of Mesothelioma. A biopsy proven diagnosis is the gold standard, but often a diagnosis is made on clinical grounds as a person may not be able to undergo a biopsy procedure.  At law a diagnosis of mesothelioma need only be proven on the balance of probabilities.

Mesothelioma is an indivisible disease. This means you do not need to sue for all your past exposure periods to get 100% of your damages.  A single period of asbestos exposure can be isolated and relied on, as long as that period made a significant contribution to the development of the mesothelioma, whether this is due to past employment-based exposure, self-employment exposure, home renovations, or other family members’ work.

You will need to identify a strong compensable period of asbestos exposure to base a claim on in order to maximise your compensation claim amount. We are experts in identifying the correct period(s) to sue on.

In some jurisdictions there are strict timeframes applied to Mesothelioma claims, so it’s important to act quickly after diagnosis.

You should always speak with an experienced Mesothelioma lawyer to assess your claim and navigate the legal process.

Pleural Mesothelioma is the most common form of mesothelioma. This type of mesothelioma develops in the lining of the lungs. The first sign of this disease process is often a fluid build-up in the pleural space that must be drained, and which is associated with shortness of breath.

Peritoneal Mesothelioma can also develop in the abdomen’s lining. Diagnosing can be a bit trickier, as it is often misdiagnosed as less serious stomach ailments.

Pericardial Mesothelioma is quite rare but no less severe. It involves the heart’s protective lining and leads to symptoms that might seem heart-related at first.

Damages for any physical and emotional pain caused by Mesothelioma. This generally makes up most of the compensation claim.

Expenses like medical treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, and other necessary medical treatments.

Compensation for care (paid or from loved ones) that has or will be necessary as a result of Mesothelioma.

If applicable, compensation for a loss of income due to Mesothelioma, including past and future income.

If you were caring for a loved one prior to being diagnosed with mesothelioma, then a claim can be made in certain circumstances for the lost care and support that would have been provided to that loved one but for the development of the care givers mesothelioma.

Compensation for any other related expenses as a result of the disease, like travel to and from medical appointments.
