You may have recently been diagnosed with the terrible and devastating disease mesothelioma. After talking with your doctor and receiving your test results and your prognosis and diagnosis, there is another step to take that can change your life and the life of your family forever. The next crucial step to take is to hire a mesothelioma attorney immediately. It may even be beneficial to speak with a mesothelioma lawyer before getting confirmation from your doctor. At least you’ll have the groundwork ready, and your mesothelioma attorney can begin to find out more about when and where you were exposed to asbestos.
Most mesothelioma attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means there is no expensive retainer fee and the attorney works for a percentage of the settlement. If the mesothelioma attorney fails to win you any compensation, they don’t get paid. This is what is more commonly known as a no-win, no-fee court case. Always read the fine print when accepting the help of a mesothelioma lawyer at no cost. You may have to pay reduced fees if you are on the losing end. If this is the case, you may need to find court costs and attorney costs for the other party. This is something that fails in your favor because a contingency attorney will do the best possible job of presenting your case. Many companies have been created especially to deal with mesothelioma cancer cases. This is simply because the cases are long and drawn out and can take years to resolve. This means that you need someone who is not only qualified to handle your case, but someone who is also dedicated and truly cares about your cause.
Meeting with potential mesothelioma attorneys
When you consult with mesothelioma lawyers, describe your problems in depth and then ask if they can take your case. If they agree, ask them about fees and if they are willing to work on a contingency basis. You will need to provide your mesothelioma lawyer with a lot of information about when and where you came into contact with asbestos. Who you were working for at the time, how long you were in contact with them, unknowingly or knowingly, and whether security measures were taken.
The final decision
You should meet with at least 3-5 mesothelioma lawyers to make sure you are dealing with someone you can trust and someone you like. When you have met with three to five mesothelioma lawyers, it is time to make a decision based on what you have discovered by talking to all the mesothelioma lawyers. Use the notes you have previously made and then you must ask yourself the following very important questions.
– Did the lawyer seem genuinely interested in my case?
– Did you listen to me and respond appropriately?
– Did the lawyer explain alternative courses of action if any?
