Mesothelioma Asbestos Claims
Asbestos compensation comes in several forms. Compensation is offered through VA benefits for veterans, or asbestos trust funds.
Compensation amounts vary and are determined by a variety of factors, including how the illness has affected an individual's life. The type of claim submitted will also impact the compensation amount.
1. Medical Records
In a mesothelioma claim, the lawyers will want to look over all of the patient's medical records. These records will contain a patient's test results, diagnosis, and tests performed by a lab, like an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI. These documents will reveal where asbestos has impacted the body of a person for example, in the lungs or heart.
Mesothelioma patients have the right to compensation, including for the loss of income and other care requirements. The most experienced mesothelioma lawyers have a thorough understanding of the different types of compensation available and will determine whether an individual is entitled to certain types of claims.
These may include the possibility of a lawsuit against an asbestos law company or trust fund claims. Some companies who knew about their asbestos-containing products created a trust funds to settle claims, rather than risking lawsuits.
A lawyer will know how to get these and will also look for any other relevant documents. Many people with mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos in the military. Their lawyers will need to locate military documents, pay stubs, and other employment documents.
People with mesothelioma may also be interested in applying for workers' compensation, Social Security disability insurance or veterans' benefits. These benefits can help with medical expenses but they are different from the amount of compensation awarded in a mesothelioma lawsuit.
2. Work History
To get fair compensation for mesothelioma, it's necessary to analyze the history of asbestos exposure for the patient. This may include a thorough review of work sites where the victim was exposed, as well as any other products employed at home or in the work environment. 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 settlements or insurance. These can include claims against asbestos-related companies, trust funds set up by those same firms, worker's compensation and special monthly compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DIC).
The type of claim filed will vary depending on the individual's particular situation. Typically, victims can file a lawsuit against asbestos producers to get compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses. The lawyer representing the victim will help them determine the best types of compensation for their specific mesothelioma claim.
Trust fund mesothelioma claims are filed with the asbestos trusts that were established by asbestos companies that were previously liable to protect themselves from future liability. These funds offer victims to receive compensation for their losses even after the company to which they were exposed declared bankruptcy. The trust fund payouts typically range from the low six-figures to much more.
Workers' compensation claims are filed by those who were injured at work. These claims are filed by workers who worked on ships or shipyards, at power plants or in any variety of other industrial workplaces. Asbestos may be present in the workplaces of schools or churches. In some instances, mesothelioma victims have also filed lawsuits against cosmetics manufacturers such as Johnson & Johnson for using asbestos in their baby powder, and Claire's for selling the harmful product in its beauty products.
