Do I Need a Mesothelioma Lawyer for My Claim?
Asbestos exposure causes mesothelioma. Despite being aware of its risk, many companies used asbestos anyways and hid the dangers from the public to protect their profits.
Powerful corporations may try to use their deep pockets and expensive legal teams to avoid responsibility for the harm they’ve caused — but our mesothelioma lawyers can level the playing field and help you fight back.

A mesothelioma lawsuit is just a little more complicated than a motor vehicle accident lawsuit. The concept is still the same: you hire a lawyer, he determines what products you are exposed to, oftentimes with your help, and then we'll file a lawsuit against the company who made those products. First thing we do, is just trying to get a feel for what disease do you have and then we talk about all the things that a case can bring, the benefits of it, what's the expectations of you, which is very little other than to give us information and then you know what the next steps are. Which the next steps, if you say yes to them, is within 24 hours — but we do it at the client's convenience — we'll go to your home and meet with you. You'll feel like you're in a small office because once you're on your team those are the people you talk to every day. Well, your team is going to be who's going to reach out to you. That team member is going to be the same person that you talk to on day one, two, three, four, and it's gonna be the same person who's sitting next to you at trial, if it goes to trial. Your team will then start investigating to see how you were exposed. Gather all your medical records, etc. Sometimes you have a choice as to where you can file your case, but certain jurisdictions in the United States that move faster by law, that people with mesothelioma must have their cases heard sooner. The national firm, we have that ability to do it wherever is best for you wherever we think is best for you and most of the time we think is best for you is where you can get justice sooner. Our clients could receive compensation in as little as six weeks. The more likelihood is, it would be two or three months, and then you'll probably continue receiving various compensation for another year. The treatment for mesothelioma is extremely expensive. It adds up in travel for treatment, etc. You can relieve some of the stress on the family if you can help them find funding for all of their needs, which may eventually be home care for their loved one. That's where we come in. You know, what are we very good at, is trying to find justice for them, but we're also there to comfort and guide them through their care and through the court system. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, Sokolove Law is here to help, call us today at 800-647-3434.
