Can The Company I’m Suing In A Mesothelioma Case Delay The Case So They Don’t Have To Pay?

Many people, when facing the decision of whether to pursue a claim after being diagnosed with mesothelioma, struggle with the idea that the company that harmed them will make the matter an ordeal.

In practice, that’s usually not what happens.

There are a variety of routes to obtain the compensation that negligent companies and employers owe to those they’ve injured, including asbestos trust funds and special VA benefits for veterans who suffered service-related asbestos exposure.

Sometimes a lawsuit is called for, and while that process can be more complex, it can also yield a more substantial settlement or award, depending on the specifics of your situation.

More good news is that most companies choose to settle a lawsuit rather than drag it out, especially if its public image may take a hit.

An experienced mesothelioma lawyer can walk you through your options and help identify the likely paths to access the resources you’re entitled to if you’ve been injured through asbestos exposure on the job or through a loved one’s job.
