Who Is Eligible To File A Mesothelioma Claim?

Generally speaking, anyone who suffers from mesothelioma due to repeated exposure to asbestos may be eligible to file a claim. For decades, Alpert & Fellows, has helped individuals and their loved ones recover compensation for health care expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering stemming from mesothelioma.

Our lawyers are experienced helping individuals and their loved ones in Sheboygan, Green Bay, Manitowoc and throughout Wisconsin resolve their mesothelioma claims.

Understand Your Options Under The Law

Mesothelioma victims and their families have several legal options to recover compensation:

  • Bankruptcy trusts: When the liabilities from asbestos exposure are more than a company can pay, that business may file Chapter 11 bankruptcy trust to payout present and future mesothelioma claims. If you have evidence of an asbestos-related illness, you may be able to file a claim. However, each trust has different rules for determining the amount of compensation that will be paid.
  • Personal injury: If a company was negligent when warning employees about the risks of asbestos exposure or in providing a safe work atmosphere, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Wrongful death: If your loved one tragically passed away from mesothelioma, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased.

Working with an attorney with an in-depth understanding of mesothelioma cases can increase the chances of reaching a successful outcome to your claim. We will thoroughly analyze your situation to help you determine your best options for recovering full compensation.

Don’t Delay Taking Action

Wisconsin has a three-year statute of limitations from the date of the original diagnosis for mesothelioma cases. Failing to take action within this time frame could leave you without the benefits needed to help you and your family move through this difficult period.

Contact our attorneys today at 866-376-8603 or by sending us an email to schedule a free, confidential consultation. We bill on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will not face any legal bills until we recover compensation on your behalf.
