Mesothelioma Asbestos Claims
Asbestos compensation comes in several forms. Compensation may be received through VA benefits for veterans, asbestos trust funds and settlements of trial verdicts.
Compensation amounts are based on a variety of factors and are determined by a number of factors, including how the illness has affected the individual's life. Compensation amounts are also affected by the type of claims made.
1. Medical Records
In a mesothelioma case lawyers will want to review all of a victim's medical records. These records will contain a patient's results from tests as well as diagnosis and tests performed by a lab, like an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI. These will show where the asbestos impacted a person's body, such as in the lungs or heart.
Mesothelioma patients have the right to compensation, including the loss of income and other care needs. The most effective mesothelioma lawyers have a thorough understanding of the different types of compensation that are available and can tell whether an individual is entitled to certain kinds of claims.
These may include a lawsuit against an asbestos company or trust fund claim. Some companies who knew about their asbestos products set up trust funds to settle claims, rather than risk facing lawsuits.
A lawyer will know how to get these and will also look for other relevant documentation. Many mesothelioma patients have been exposed to asbestos during their time in the military. Their attorneys will need to locate military documents, pay stubs, and other employment documents.
People suffering from mesothelioma might think about applying for workers' compensation, Social Security disability insurance or veterans' benefits. These benefits could assist in paying for medical expenses but are separate from compensation awarded by a mesothelioma case.
2. Work History
Obtaining fair compensation in mesothelioma lawsuits requires an in-depth investigation of the asbestos victim's exposure history. This can include an analysis of the work sites where the victim was exposed and any other products that the person used in the workplace or at home. This can include the type and amount of asbestos to which the victim was exposed. Mesothelioma patients often receive financial compensation from a variety of insurance or settlements. This could include claims against asbestos-related companies, trust funds that were set up by those same companies, worker's compensation and special monthly compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DIC).
The type of claim filed will be determined by the specific situation of each individual. In most instances, victims can sue asbestos manufacturers to recover damages from their medical bills, lost wages and other losses. The victim's lawyer will help them decide on the best type of compensation for their particular mesothelioma claim.
Trust fund mesothelioma lawsuits are filed through asbestos trusts established by formerly liable asbestos companies in exchange for protection from future liability. These funds offer victims to recover their losses even after the company that exposed them declared bankruptcy. Typically the trust fund payouts are in the lower six figures or more.
Workers' compensation cases are filed by people who have been injured at work. Workers who work on shipyards, ships power plants, shipyards, or any other industrial work place are able to file claims. Additionally, individuals may have been exposed to asbestos at work of their schools or churches. In some cases mesothelioma sufferers have filed claims against cosmetics manufacturers such as Johnson & Johnson for using asbestos in their baby powder, and Claire's for promoting the hazardous product in its cosmetics.
