Best Mesothelioma Lawyer
Asbestos disease solicitors will provide free initial advice. If you or your family decide to work with them, they will ask you to sign a conditional fee agreement, which is commonly known as a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement. This means that whether the compensation claim is successful or not, you and your family will not be asked to pay any fees.
Most asbestos cases are heard in state court and each state is different in terms of its speed of processing cases and their historical values. In addition a legal “nexus” must exist between a plaintiff and defendant in order to file a complaint in a specific jurisdiction. Since most mesothelioma victims are exposed to a variety of asbestos containing products from different defendants, there may be more than one jurisdiction available. You want a law firm that has the resources to select the legally appropriate venue that offers you the greatest advantages in speed and value. Some firms have this flexibility, others do not.

Did you know that even brief or minimal exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma? Unfortunately, it’s true. For example, in several cases, we have represented mesothelioma victims who are wives and children of workers who unknowingly brought asbestos dust into their homes on their work clothes (called second-hand asbestos exposure).

If you hire a reputable law firm, there will be no up-front costs to file a mesothelioma lawsuit. In the vast majority of cases, mesothelioma lawsuits are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not have to pay anything unless and until you receive compensation owed to you.
There are over 62 asbestos trust funds with an estimated $25 billion in trust for asbestos victims. Some of these funds may be available to you. Today, these trust funds comprise a larger and larger percentage of overall compensation for most mesothelioma victims. To maximize the value of your claim it can be helpful to treat your claim individually by submitting for individual review and arbitrating to get a better value when necessary. Unfortunately, many law firms do not do this. This is something you may want to ask about.
Goldberg, Persky & White P.C. Client“It has been a pleasure working with you. You handled my father’s case very professionally and, considering the emotional aspects, very personally. Over a year ago, prior to the diagnosis, my father handed me a page torn from the Yellow Pages showing the ad for Goldberg, Persky & White. He told me that Goldberg, Persky was the company that I should contact if he gets sick. As usual, he gave me good advice.” 2017 Goldberg, Persky & White P.C. Client“When my husband and I had our first meeting with an Attorney from your office I had no idea of the excellent service that I was about to receive. It has been 12 years since my Husband died and thanks to your firm I have been able to live a comfortable life. Six years ago I found that I no longer could continue to take care of my home, that is when I moved to Calif to be near my youngest son. I moved into a 55+ Village, a very unusual one with over 18000 residents, 210 clubs and organizations, so I am able to keep quite active.”
