After the initial shock of a mesothelioma diagnosis has subsided, the patient and their loved ones may wish to see compensation to help with medical expenses incurred. Utilizing a qualified attorney may result in monetary gains that can greatly alleviate these burdens. The first question a patient and their family may have is "what is our case worth?"

The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "This week we want to talk about SOL (statue of limitations). It is directly related to diagnosed victims of mesotheliomaspecifically those who are thinking about putting the compensation process on the back burner. We want victims, or family members acting on behalf of a severally sick loved one, to know that if they wait too long to begin the compensation process, they run the risk of not receiving compensation at all. In some states the statute of limitations is limited to just one year.

Because of compelling evidence that asbestos makers and companies that used asbestos containing products knew of asbestos's serious risks and hid them from those they exposed (i.e. employees, armed service members, their families), injured individuals have the right to seek compensation from these negligent parties for their losses and suffering. While legal action cannot be taken against the government, compensation can be sought through government organizations in cases where government work resulted in asbestos exposure and subsequent disease. In cases of private employment asbestos compensation can be sought from the makers of the asbestos containing products and your employer.

The time required to receive compensation depends on the severity of your condition. If you have been diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma and are still living, there is a good chance that you will begin to receive compensation within 4 months. In addition, it is likely that your case will be completed within 6 to 12 from the start. Due to the unique circumstances of mesothelioma, many courts have been set up to give preference to those living in order to provide for treatment and other expenses. Thus, you can reasonably expect your case to be complete within 1 year.
