Mesothelioma Compensation

Compensation for People Diagnosed With Mesothelioma

What is Mesothelioma Compensation?

Mesothelioma compensation is the combined total of all financial help our firm can collect for asbestos victims diagnosed with any type of malignant mesothelioma.

This overall package of mesothelioma compensation may include payments and benefits from many (or all) of the following:

• Asbestos Trust Fund Claims (Mesothelioma Trust Funds)
• Mesothelioma Lawsuit (optional)
• Administrative Defendants (settlement without a lawsuit)
• Workers' Compensation
• Social Security Disability (SSD)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Veterans' Benefits

Most of the potential benefits to victims are available without us filing a lawsuit in court. For example, Dickey Law Firm can collect your compensation from Asbestos Trust Fund Claims by submitting claim forms with affidavits, work records, or other evidence.

We Provide Access to Asbestos Trust Funds

Asbestos trust funds (sometimes called mesothelioma trust funds) are funds that the court-ordered negligent asbestos companies to set aside.

These trust funds were created to ensure that future victims of mesothelioma would receive compensation after these companies filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.

Over the past thirty years, 60+ trust funds were created, and the total value available for mesothelioma victims is over $30 billion.

This thirty-billion dollars is spread across numerous funds, all worth different amounts.

Why We Recommend Filing a Mesothelioma Lawsuit

To help ensure that your mesothelioma case can receive maximum compensation, our experienced mesothelioma lawyers will recommend filing a mesothelioma lawsuit.

Sometimes the largest settlements for a mesothelioma case come from filing a mesothelioma lawsuit. These settlements or verdicts can be in the multi-million dollar range.

Filing a Mesothelioma lawsuit also adds to the number of defendants from which you could potentially seek compensation.

A mesothelioma lawsuit gives the court and jury a way to hold the asbestos companies accountable for causing this deadly disease. They can also award you punitive damages to punish the asbestos company for their wrongdoings.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mesothelioma Compensation

How long do I have to start a mesothelioma lawsuit?

How long you have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit will depend on where you live, where you were diagnosed, and where (and how) you were exposed to asbestos.

‍That deadline is called the statute of limitations.It can range from one year up to more than six years, depending on your unique circumstances.

Our mesothelioma law firm will help you sort this out and take action to protect your legal rights.

Why do all lawyers say they can get maximum mesothelioma compensation?

Not all lawyers can get the maximum compensation for your mesothelioma case. It takes years of experience to learn the industry-specific processes, products, and exposures.

Not all law firms are paid the same by the asbestos trust funds. Also, the amount of time and care the lawyer puts into your mesothelioma case affects the monetary result.

How long do mesothelioma claims take?

There are three main components to a mesothelioma case; bankruptcy trust claims, settlements, and trials.

Bankruptcy trust claims can be filed immediately and sometimes can be resolved within a few short months. Settlements can happen anytime after filing but usually involve an investigation that takes 6-8 months to complete.

Trials can take up to a year to 18 months for a trial date to be assigned and can be appealed. This may seem like a long time, but in comparison, asbestos litigation is faster than other legal cases.
