MESOTHELIOMA SUPPORT
There are a handful of possible sources of financial assistance and/or compensation for people with mesothelioma.
Manufacturers of Asbestos Products
Generally, the greatest amount of compensation can be recovered from the asbestos industry. Law firms handling these cases do so on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront expenses and the firm's payment, if any, comes only from the award or settlement amount they secure on your behalf. In the past two years, many major asbestos manufacturing companies have filed for bankruptcy due precisely to these type of cases, and more are expected to follow. It is therefore important to move quickly once the decision to pursue recovery against a manufacturer is made.
Disability Insurance
Disability claims may be filed if one has such insurance either privately or through an employer.
Social Security Disability
Disability claims can be filed with the federal social security system.
Worker's Compensation
Only if asbestos exposure can be linked to a particular job-site can a worker's compensation claim be filed against an employer. It is also possible that a worker's compensation claim will conflict with the pursuit of other legal remedies, so it is advisable to consult with an attorney before pursuing this or any other avenue of monetary recovery.
