Mesothelioma Cases Rejected – Why it Happens
Mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer, is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Proving that a person or a company is negligent in causing the exposure is not always easy. Proving that another party failed to warn you about asbestos can also be complicated.
Since connecting a company’s negligence and a mesothelioma diagnosis can be challenging, some lawyers will turn down cases. They don’t want to put in the work or the money it takes to fight for justice for the victim.
Money is generally the main issue when a lawyer or law firm rejects a mesothelioma case.
If the lawyer does not believe the case will result in a big enough settlement or jury award to the plaintiff, it could be rejected.
Researching, hiring expert witnesses, and doing the other work necessary to prepare and follow through with a case can cost a lot of money.
Even if the case is strong and easy to prove, if a lawyer doesn’t believe the payout, in the end, will be enough, they will turn clients away.
Why All Mesothelioma Cases Should Be Accepted
As long as you or someone you care about has received a legitimate diagnosis of mesothelioma, you should be able to seek justice with appropriate representation.
No one should have ever been exposed to harmful asbestos. Nearly every diagnosis of an asbestos illness was preventable.
There is always a case to make against one or more companies that exposed people to asbestos.
Some cases will be more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive than others. Some will result in smaller payouts. These issues are not good enough reasons to prevent victims from seeking justice.
Everyone who has suffered harm from being around asbestos, who has to live with a deadly mesothelioma diagnosis, should have lawyers on their side.
How Can I Ensure My Asbestos Claim Is Not Rejected?
There is no way to guarantee a firm will take your case. You can take some steps before talking to a lawyer to make it easier for them to accept your case.
The most important thing you can do is provide information. The more information you have, the easier for a lawyer to evaluate your case.
This doesn’t mean you need to know where or how you encountered asbestos. Provide your complete employment history and medical records, and an experienced lawyer will be able to track down your exposure details.
Also important is the choice of a law firm or lawyer. Your chances of rejection are higher if you consult with a firm with limited or no experience working on asbestos cases.
Do a little research to find the lawyers in your area with proven track records of working with and winning cases for people with mesothelioma.

What Kind of Settlement Can a Lawyer Get Me for Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma lawsuits almost always end in settlements, a negotiated compensation amount the defendants agree to pay the plaintiff.
There is no way to determine how much you can get in a settlement. Several factors come into play, including the extent of asbestos exposure, the severity of the illness, medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
The average mesothelioma settlement is between $1 million and $1.4 million. The best way to determine how much you may be eligible for is to talk to an experienced asbestos attorney.
