You or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma cancer. Do you want to let the party responsible get away with it? No! Here is how to go about selecting a Mesothelioma lawyer.
Let's be honest. A Mesothelioma diagnosis is crushing. Not only is it a form of cancer, but it is a form that usually is only discovered in the very late stages when treatment options are very limited and the five year survival rate is, well, below 10 percent. Given this, it is natural to just want to crawl into a ball. You can't do this? You must fight medically and legally! Asbestos exposure is nearly always the cause of Mesothelioma. Well, guess what. A company made a buck selling that asbestos. To make matters unconscionable, many believe the manufacturers knew about the health risks associated with the material and decided to go ahead and sell it anyway. Think about that for a minute. Some corporate executive decided that your life or the one close to you who has the cancer wasn't worth holding back this money making product for. That should really make you furious and suing them is one way to make them pay.
The asbestos-Mesothelioma relationship is a complex one from a legal perspective. Given this, you want to make sure that you select a lawyer who is not just familiar with the field, but an absolute specialist in it. This means the number one thing to look for is a lawyer who just prosecutes these types of cases. The law is changing all the time as the appellate courts make rulings and such. You need to be sure that the lawyer you hire is up on all the changes and can provide you with the representation you need.
So, what questions should you ask the perspective lawyers? Well, you should speak with at least three different ones. All should provide you with a free consultation. During the consult, you should ask how long they have been an attorney, what percentage of their practice is devoted to Mesothelioma litigation, how many total cases of this type they have filed, how many have gone to trial and their record in them and whether they have any awards or certifications in the field? Comparing each lawyer's answers to these questions should give you a pretty good feel for which counsel is best for your case.
Mesothelioma is a brutal diagnosis, particularly since it didn't have to happen if some executive of an asbestos company had displayed any humanity and decided against selling the material. Fortunately, you have rights. Make sure you exercise them by selecting a Mesothelioma lawyer that can represent you with competency and passion.
