Legal FAQs

Question: What are my options about filing a lawsuit?

Answer: Many mesothelioma patients have filed a wrongful endangerment lawsuit against former employers, landlords, and even state and local governments for having exposed them to unsafe conditions with asbestos. Others have filed wrongful death suits for a family member. Patients can also file a civil suit.

Question: What information will I need to have to file a lawsuit?

Answer: You will need proof of employment history, health information, and that exposure to asbestos was present in a person’s history. This can be tough to prove and an attorney can help research the background to prove the claims.

Question: How long will the lawsuit take to go through the courts?

Answer: There are many factors that will determine the length of a lawsuit. It is dependent on the amount of cases before the courts, the amount of money that is being sought, and even the amount of money a company can pay. Generally, a lawsuit will take between several weeks and several months.

Question: What if I lose my case? Can I file again?

Answer: If a case cannot be proven, than another claim can be filed. It’s important to understand why the first claim failed and try to find the additional paperwork.
