How Gori Law Can Help You with Your Mesothelioma Case
Mesothelioma is an aggressive type of cancer that attacks the lining of internal organs, especially the lungs. Though asbestos exposure causes 80 percent of mesothelioma cases, the cancer takes a long time to develop, and it may be years before you’re diagnosed. How can you seek legal recourse and prove who’s responsible?
Pursuing a mesothelioma case isn’t easy, but our law firm will support you every step of the way. First, we’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation consultation, where a mesothelioma attorney will evaluate your case. We’ll answer your questions about the process and talk about your legal options and potential compensation.
As our client, you can expect personalized representation tailored to your situation. There may be several paths for you to access mesothelioma compensation, and we’ll help you explore them all. An asbestos exposure lawyer can also connect you to mesothelioma resources and non-profits in the area.
No matter what challenges your case presents, we’re ready to take them on. Different asbestos lawyers have different strengths, which is why our whole team works together on every case. We have the resources to handle evidence collection and lengthy trials, plus years of experience handling complex asbestos litigation.

Types of Compensation Available for Mesothelioma Victims
Depending on your case, you may have multiple routes to receiving compensation for asbestos exposure:
- Asbestos trust funds: Bankrupt asbestos manufacturers are required to set aside a trust fund to compensate victims of their products. An estimated $30 billion remains in various trusts.
- Mesothelioma lawsuits: If the company responsible for your asbestos exposure is still operating, you can pursue a lawsuit against them. A lawsuit can provide compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuits: If your loved one passed away due to mesothelioma, you can pursue a wrongful death suit against the company responsible for their asbestos exposure. These suits can provide compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and more.
- Mesothelioma VA claims: If you were exposed to asbestos in the military, you can apply for VA disability or a VA pension. Surviving spouses, parents, and children may also be eligible for benefits.
No matter which route you take, we’re here to help you get results. We recovered $2.2 million for a plastics worker diagnosed with mesothelioma and $3.2 million for a production control supervisor.
How To File a Mesothelioma Lawsuit
Most asbestos lawsuits follow the same general procedure:
- Initial consultation: During your first meeting with one of our asbestos attorneys, we’ll help you determine what your options are for getting compensation and how much you might expect.
- Evidence gathering: We’ll do a thorough investigation to determine when you were exposed to asbestos and who might be responsible. We’ll also examine your medical records to prove the severity of your condition.
- Legal action: We’ll help you file a claim with an asbestos trust fund, negotiate a settlement, or take your lawsuit to court.
Mesothelioma lawsuits are subject to the statute of limitations, or a deadline on pursuing legal action. Each state sets its own statute of limitations, which can be as little as one year from the date of your diagnosis or your loved one’s death.
Our firm can connect you with resources and help you explore alternate routes for compensation, such as VA disability. We have deep connections with both local and national mesothelioma charities that can help provide support.
