During the twentieth century one of the most common industrial materials used was also one of the most lethal: Asbestos. Breathing in asbestos fibers can cause many different kinds of ailments including, but not limited to, asbestosis and mesothelioma cancer.
Due to asbestos being a complicated tort that involves statutes of limitation among other stipulations, it is important mesothelioma patients and their families get the right legal representation when filing a claim for financial recovery.
If you feel that more research is warranted then you may want to consider asking the following questions.
Ask any potential mesothelioma attorney that you are considering hiring how many mesothelioma cases they have actually handled. Asbestos cases in general are just too broad a category. You want to know the specific number of mesothelioma cases the attorney has represented. Obviously, the more experience they have the better off you are.
Research the different mesothelioma law firms, inquire how many cases they accept and reject. A firm that accepts all cases may not be devoting sufficient time and attention to each case. Most firms offer free case consultations, which can be beneficial for the mesothelioma patient and their families in order to ask questions and get the right answers. It would also be helpful to ask the attorney to walk them through the legal process involved when filing a mesothelioma claim.
Ask to look at the firm's track record on their mesothelioma cases. Have they settled majority of them? If not, were they able to obtain a winning verdict in court? If they do not have a track record, or not enough to base a decision on, then it is advised you search for another firm to handle your case. A firm's track record shows you their history with cases like yours. If their records show they are unable to show you any consistent results, they probably lack the experience needed to have a successful case.
