Asbestos Claims

An asbestos claim is a legal action pursued by individuals who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer, cancers primarily caused by exposure to asbestos. These claims aim to secure compensation for the significant medical expenses, lost income, pain, suffering, and other damages resulting from the illness. There are several types of asbestos claims: personal injury claims filed by the patients themselves, wrongful death claims filed by family members of deceased victims, and asbestos trust fund claims for compensation from funds set up by bankrupt asbestos companies.

 

To file a claim, a mesothelioma or lung cancer diagnosis from a qualified medical professional is required. After the diagnosis is established, the affected individual or their family should consult The National Asbestos Claim Center, which specializes in mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer cases. We operate on a contingency basis, meaning we only receive payment if compensation is awarded.

 

Compensation from a mesothelioma claim can cover a variety of costs, including medical expenses for treatment and medications, lost wages due to the inability to work, pain and suffering, the impact on family relationships, and funeral expenses in wrongful death claims. On average, mesothelioma claims can be worth between $750,000 and $1.3 million, although this can vary based on individual circumstances.

 

Several factors can influence the outcome of an asbestos claim. These include the severity of the illness, the extent and duration of asbestos exposure, the number of defendants involved, and specific state laws. Filing an asbestos claim is complex and requires thorough documentation and legal expertise. Our goal at The National Asbestos Claim Center is to obtain the maximum financial compensation to help cover the high costs associated with treatment and to provide assistance to affected individuals and their families.

Asbestos Claim Process

Mesothelioma Claims

Types of Asbestos Claims

1

Personal Injury Claim

Individuals who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer as a result of asbestos exposure may file personal injury claims against the companies or entities responsible for their exposure.

2

Wrongful Death Claim

If a person with mesothelioma or lung cancer passes away, their surviving family members may file wrongful death claims against the responsible parties. These claims seek compensation for the family's losses, including funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress.

3

Asbestos Trust Fund Claim

Many companies that were heavily involved in asbestos-related industries filed for bankruptcy due to the large number of asbestos-related claims. As a result, some established asbestos trust funds to compensate victims. In addition to a personal injury claims or wrongful death claims, asbestos victims may file claims with these trust funds to receive compensation.
