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 it can be challenging to connect a company’s negligence and a mesothelioma diagnosis, 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 that the case will result in a big enough settlement or jury award to the plaintiff, it could be rejected.

It can cost a lot of money to do research, hire expert witnesses, and do the other work necessary to prepare and follow through with a case.

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 it will be 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 being rejected 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 Our Legal Team Can Do for You

Our qualified attorneys are standing by to help you. Asbestos and mesothelioma cases can be complicated and lengthy, and to have the best chance of success, you need expert lawyers.

Here’s what our team can do for you:

  • Our mesothelioma lawyers have the expertise and the experience to help you understand your case.
  • We will find the evidence to prove you were harmed by asbestos. We will then negotiate a settlement or take your case through the courts to get a jury award.
  • The right mesothelioma lawyer will guide you through the process and help you make the best choices. You will need to decide if you should file a claim with an asbestos trust fund or file a lawsuit against the company that caused your exposure.
  • A good lawyer with experience in asbestos cases will help you determine if a past employer or a manufacturer of materials you worked with is to blame.
  • Most importantly, the right lawyer with the right experience will be your advocate. They will always make decisions and take actions that are in your best interest.

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 precisely 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.

We fight for all victims of mesothelioma. If you or someone you care about has gotten this diagnosis, you can rely on our lawyers to not only take your case but to provide the guidance, expertise, and support you need to get the compensation you deserve.
