In short, mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos has sharp fibers that can become lodged in organ lining when breathed in. Eventually, these fibers can cause tumors to form.
Pennsyvlania and New Jersey State law limit the time to file a claim or you lose your right to compensation. The statute of limitations to file a mesothelioma claim in Pennsylvania is two years after diagnosis.
After being diagnoses with mesothelioma, you must contact a specialized firm to determine your eligibility. Remember, you have two years after the date of diagnosis to file a claim. Call (800) 505-6000 for a free case review.
Mesothelioma compensation is specific to each individual filing. The average amount awarded is $1-$1.4 million. The best way to determine compensation is by contacting us for a free case review.
Each mesothelioma case is unique and filed as an individual case. Your case will not be part of any class action lawsuit.
Disability, Workers Compensation, and other benefits will not be affected by any recovery obtained from filing your mesothelioma lawsuit.
Over $30 Billion has been set aside in asbestos trusts to pay mesothelioma victims. At The Halpern Law Firm we will help to figure out which asbestos trust fund money you may be eligible for.
You and your family still have the right to recover compensation even if your loved one who suffered from mesothelioma lung cancer has already passed away.
You do not have to file a lawsuit to recover compensation from the asbestos trusts. At The Halpern Law Firm we will do the work to file a claim with an asbestos trust.
Since the compensation is not income, all mesothelioma compensation is tax-free. The compensatory damages awarded for a mesothelioma diagnosis are not taxed.
Mesothelioma and asbestos-related cases rarely go to trial. The Halpern Law Firm aims to settle every case out of court. However, cases can rarely go to court.
