4 Reasons to Hire a Mesothelioma Lawyer

By Heidi Wingrain

If you've been diagnosed with Mesothelioma and are facing the bills left by lost wages and medical expenses, you may wonder why you'd want to take on the additional expense of hiring a lawyer who specializes in filing Mesothelioma lawsuits. You may think there's no proof of company negligence, that it's been too long since you worked for the company that is at fault, or that you just plain don't want any more bills. By this type of thinking you could be denying yourself and your family benefits that rightfully belong to you. Hiring a Mesothelioma lawyer is probably the best move you'll ever make in your life for the following reasons:

1. You aren't to blame for having contracted Mesothelioma. What you are is the victim of negligence caused by the company you worked for failing to advise you about the risks you were taking. It isn't because they didn't know, either. Information was available clear back in the 1920s telling them about hazards associated with workers who were in environments where asbestos was present. By the 1940s they were even getting warnings telling them to eliminate asbestos from their workplace. Many of them chose to turn a deaf ear to these admonitions, though, because to comply would mean smaller profits. Therefore, they chose to sacrifice your health to put more money in their pockets, and now you're suffering because of it. Hiring a Mesothelioma lawyer will help put the blame where it belongs.

2. If you're the surviving family member of someone who got Mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos in the workplace, you need to hire a Mesothelioma lawyer to file a wrongful death lawsuit on your loved one's behalf. You may well still be fighting to pay medical bills this person incurred or struggling due to the loss of the person's wages in addition to the emotional suffering you've gone through, and your lawyer will help get you the compensation you need so badly.

3. Mesothelioma may have already robbed you of your life's savings and possibly many of your other assets. It may be forcing you to sell your home and live on a shoestring budget. After all, the disease has kept you from working which means you've lost wages, and you probably have incurred medical bills which insurance just doesn't pay for. Why shouldn't you hire a lawyer who will work on a no win, no pay basis to go after what you have coming to you and help you meet your financial obligations? What this means is that the lawyer will only take payment if he's successful in getting a settlement for you. Otherwise his services won't cost you anything.

4. Corporate negligence as far as employee health is concerned has been going on far too long and needs to be stopped. Companies have been allowed to give profits a higher priority than health issues surrounding their employees, and this practice is totally unacceptable. It has caused hundreds of employees to become victims as employer greed took the forefront. A Mesothelioma lawyer will seek restitution for what you have endured and will also ask for punitive damages. This is additional money the company will be forced to pay as a punishment for their negligence. When companies are forced to pay punitive damages, other companies are being warned that no one is going to tolerate such irresponsible behavior any longer.

When you hire a Mesothelioma lawyer and present your case to the world, you end up helping yourself, your family, and workers everywhere. - 17269
