Q: I’m not quite sure if my mesothelioma was caused by asbestos exposure. Should I still talk to a lawyer?
A: It is always a good idea to reach out to an attorney if you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. Our nationally acclaimed team at The Ledger Law Firm has the nationwide resources to conduct a thorough evaluation of your case that utilizes proven investigators who will find out who or what is responsible for your disease.
Still, it is worth knowing that the primary cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. We will find out whether a company’s jobsite or any other responsible party exposed you to asbestos, thereby giving you the right to receive legal compensation.
Q: I worked at many jobsites, and I’m pretty sure one or more of them exposed me to asbestos. Can I still sue?
A: This is a fairly common issue for military veterans or industrial workers whose career spanned many years at jobsites that used asbestos. You can absolutely reach out to The Ledger Law with help filing a legal claim. We will do our due diligence to determine which companies were responsible for your disease, and those companies will be held legally accountable.
Q: I am a veteran who was exposed to asbestos while serving the country. What are my legal options?
A: Mesothelioma lawsuits are generally reserved for holding companies accountable, as the military itself cannot be sued for asbestos exposure. Still, there are legal paths available that we can utilize to get you the compensation you need and deserve.
One option is assistance through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Another meaningful option is to sue the companies that supplied toxic asbestos to the military during your time of service.
Our team has a proven track record of helping mesothelioma victims like you receive the compensation you need, and we will help you pursue the best legal option based on the facts of your case.
Q: Where can I file a lawsuit for my mesothelioma case?
A: Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to file a lawsuit beyond the state where you were exposed. The reason you may want to do this is because some jurisdictions are more friendly to mesothelioma victims than others. Effectively, this means you can receive more compensation for the injuries suffered.
The Ledger Law Firm will provide you with effective legal counsel that gathers the information needed to let you know where the best options to file a legal claim are.
However, each state has set limits for how long you have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit, so the time to act is now. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your mesothelioma lawsuit today.
