Why Do Mesothelioma Lawsuits Matter?
A lawsuit cannot reverse your illness or give you back your loved one, but it can make a difference for you, your family, and countless other asbestos-exposure victims.
Empowerment and Accountability
You or your loved one’s mesothelioma occurred because asbestos product manufacturers continued producing products they knew were harmful. Despite knowing the harm, these companies refused to inform the public to maximize profits. They have gone on to become incredibly wealthy companies today, in large part because of asbestos, while thousands of workers and consumers have developed devastating illnesses like mesothelioma.
These companies shouldn’t be allowed to benefit for even one more day from their harmful conduct against millions of workers and consumers. Filing a mesothelioma asbestos lawsuit is the best way to fight back, publicly expose the wrongdoing, and make these companies pay for the suffering they have caused.
Monetary Relief
The financial cost of mesothelioma can become overwhelming, particularly as the disease progresses to late stages. Even if you have insurance that covers medical expenses, you may be left with significant copays, uncovered costs, and incidental costs, including the following:
- Medical expenses
- Durable medical equipment costs
- Caregiver costs
- Lost earnings of family caregivers
- Your lost earnings
- Transportation to treatment
Your damages from a mesothelioma lawsuit can provide compensation for all of these costs, as well as the intangible losses related to your illness, such as pain and suffering.
Peace of Mind
You may be worried about what will become of your family after you are gone. A mesothelioma lawsuit can cover the medical bills and other costs associated with your illness so your family is not left with the bills after you are gone. Mesothelioma compensation is often high enough to provide your family with financial security after your death.
An Opportunity to Make a Difference
If enough people file suit, wealthy companies will find that the cost of harming people outweighs the profits from producing harmful products like asbestos.
Lawsuits are also a matter of public record. They increase awareness of corporate wrongdoing and create a layer of public accountability.
Mesothelioma lawsuits can drive policy change and prevent others from suffering a similar fate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been restricting asbestos since the 1970s. In March of 2024, the EPA issued a final rule banning chrysotile asbestos, the only form of the toxic material still being imported into the United States.
How Can A Mesothelioma Lawsuit Help Me?
Compensation from a mesothelioma lawsuit could help you access the most advanced care available and make you as comfortable as possible. It may also allow your family to spend more time with you without worrying about money.
If you have lost a loved one to mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation for your loved one’s final expenses, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. You may also be entitled to compensation for the losses your family has suffered because of the death, such as loss of companionship, loss of parental guidance, and loss of your loved one’s financial support.
