If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, you deserve compensation. You or a loved one was exposed to a carcinogen through no fault of your own. It is important that if you decide to pursue a claim, that you find a mesothelioma attorney to help fight for justice.
The Importance of a Mesothelioma Attorney
It is vital that you find a law firm that specializes in asbestos cases. They will know the ins and outs of the asbestos industry and will most likely be familiar with the products that you used and/or the companies that you worked for that exposed you to asbestos. At The Halpern Law Firm, asbestos-related disease cases, such as mesothelioma, are all we do. We have over 30 years of experience working on these cases, and we will be able to determine which companies can be sued. A firm that also handles other types of cases may not be as familiar with asbestos cases.
Trust Funds
Mesothelioma attorneys are also familiar with how the asbestos trust funds work. There is over $30 billion set aside by companies for mesothelioma victims and it is very likely that if you have mesothelioma, you are eligible for a portion of these monies. At The Halpern Law Firm, we will get your work history and your exposure history and determine which trust funds we can put in a claim to, to get you the most amount of compensation possible.
