4. When we sit down with you and your family to discuss your claim and your legal options, we will talk about your history in the
service and other jobs you may have worked. You may not remember when or where you were exposed to asbestos, and that’s
OK. Our lawyers have compiled extensive information about asbestos equipment on ships, specific Navy vessels, and Navy
shipyards where veterans were exposed. Visit our FAQ page to answer your questions.
Although mesothelioma compensation amounts vary by case, a thorough investigation of your history of exposure will reveal all
your options. It is extremely important to note that you will not be suing the military or your commanding officers. Rather,
mesothelioma compensation payouts come from companies that manufactured and sold asbestos products that were used in
ships or shipyards.
There are several options our knowledgeable attorneys will explore in developing a strategy to pursue compensation for you:
Asbestos trust funds. Many companies that manufactured products containing asbestos were required by the courts to put
aside money for mesothelioma victims in special trust funds. These trust funds help ensure patients can still pursue
compensation, even if the company itself went bankrupt. Seeking compensation through these trust funds is not the same as
filing a lawsuit, but it does require you to file a claim proving your illness was caused by exposure to the company’s products.
As our lawyers identify how you were exposed to asbestos, we will be able to determine which trust fund (or trust funds) could
be held responsible for providing a payout, and we will submit strong evidence to support your claim.
Mesothelioma settlements. In addition to pursuing compensation through asbestos trust funds, we could identify companies
that are still in business and should be held responsible for the harm they caused you. Our skilled mesothelioma lawyers will
aggressively negotiate with these companies to demand a full and fair settlement offer. In most mesothelioma cases,
companies will offer a settlement to avoid the risk and expense of going to trial.
Mesothelioma lawsuits. In certain cases where the company refuses to offer a fair settlement, our committed mesothelioma
attorneys will take our fight for justice to court. Because mesothelioma is such a debilitating disease, we can generally ask the
courts to resolve your case quickly ─ usually within one year. Our seasoned asbestos litigators have successfully argued many
cases before a judge and jury, including a recent $22 million verdict in June 2016.
VA benefits. In addition to pursuing compensation from the companies that are responsible for exposing you to asbestos, our
committed legal team can help you apply for VA benefits and connect you with the medical treatment services you need. The
VA prioritizes care for veterans who are coping with mesothelioma, and it can coordinate your travel to the top treatment
facilities.
