Who Is Eligible for Mesothelioma Compensation?

Generally, those who may be eligible for mesothelioma compensation can include:

• Mesothelioma patients: When asbestos exposure has occurred without patients’ knowledge and/or as a result of others’ negligence, those with mesothelioma can be entitled to compensation. For example, the negligence of an employer can contribute to mesothelioma when the employer failed to provide protective gear and asbestos safety training to workers who were unknowingly exposed to this toxic mineral.
• Families: After a mesothelioma death, spouses, children, and grandparents may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim and seek financial recovery for their suffering, funeral and burial costs for their loved one, and other losses.

How Much Compensation Is Available for Mesothelioma Claims?

Mesothelioma compensation amounts depend on several factors. Some include:

• The age at which someone is diagnosed with mesothelioma
• The cost of mesothelioma treatments, past and those needed in the future
• The amount of earnings lost due to the diagnosis
• The number of dependents a mesothelioma patient has
• Whether a claim is settled or resolved in court, with court usually presenting a riskier option that can result in higher awards from juries.

What Does Mesothelioma Compensation Cover?

The losses an individual or family has suffered due to the mesothelioma are supposed to be covered by the compensation from these claims. As such, compensation may include awards to cover:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• And more.

How Long Do I Have to Wait for Mesothelioma Compensation?

Generally, the duration of a mesothelioma claim will depend on various factors, like (but not limited to):

• The complexity of the case
• The stage of the condition (with the possibility of fast-tracking cases for those with later-stage mesothelioma)
• Whether someone wants to settle or see their day in court

Regardless of any of the above factors, however, one thing’s for sure—the sooner you file a mesothelioma claim, the sooner you’ll be on track for compensation.
