Mesothelioma Cases Lawsuit

Mesothelioma Cases Lawsuit

Budak Adsense, LLC, understand that being diagnosed with an illness such as mesothelioma can dramatically change an individual’s life. A person suffering from mesothelioma may no longer be able to work, while mortgage, utility and food bills pile up. Some mesothelioma patients are also overwhelmed by bills for medical treatment. Sometimes patients cannot pay these bills because they lack adequate insurance coverage; and, on occasion, medical insurance companies will deny payment for experimental treatment.

When a new client contacts our office for legal advice concerning a recent diagnosis of mesothelioma, we consider a variety of legal remedies, including a third party lawsuit, claims against bankrupt asbestos manufacturers and a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. A third party lawsuit is a court case brought against manufacturers and distributors of asbestos-containing products and, in some cases, against land owners, such as utility companies and chemical factories, where occupational exposure to asbestos occurred in the past. The point of a third party lawsuit is to obtain a recovery for the plaintiff’s pain and suffering, lost wages, and other economic damages. We believe that it is important to coordinate the prosecution of a third party lawsuit with other forms of compensation.

Budak Adsense, LLC, we work hard to make sure that our clients receive all of the benefits to which they are entitled under law. The following are a list of benefits that you may be entitled to depending on your situation:

Claims Against Bankrupt Asbestos Manufacturers

Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Mesothelioma Lawsuit After Death - America’s Toxic Legacy

America’s toxic legacy may leave behind a half-million deaths WASHINGTON, D.C. — The first sign of trouble came as Bill Rogers was mowing his lawn one morning in January 2007. “As I would go back and forth with the mower, I would run out of air,” says Rogers, 67, of Palm Bay, Fla. Rogers went to the doctor and learned that his right lung was full of fluid. Three days later he was diagnosed with mesothelioma , a lethal tumor that occurs in the lining of the chest or the abdomen and is almost always associated with asbestos exposure. “I’d heard of it, but I didn’t really know what it was,” he says. “They told me it’s not a good cancer to get.” That Rogers is alive more than three years after his diagnosis is something of a miracle. To him, the source of his illness is clear: He worked on or around asbestos -containing automobile brakes, mostly at General Motors dealerships, for 44 years. He and his co-workers had used compressed-air hoses to clean out brake drums, where debri

Mesothelioma Lawsuit After Death - Asbestos Exposure

Mesothelioma Lawsuit After Death - Asbestos Exposure Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer affecting the tissue lining the lungs, stomach, heart and other vital organs caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos. Between 3800 and 4000 new cases are diagnosed in the United States each year. Life expectancy for the most common form of the disease is only 4-24 months following the onset of symptoms. Although the link between asbestos and disease has been investigated since the early 20th century, it wasn’t until 1989 that the EPA issued an Asbestos Ban and Phase Out Rule (only to see it overturned two years later.) As recently as 2008, asbestos has been found in Polk County, when the Polk County Sheriff’s Department uncovered illegal dumping of the material in Winter Haven. In St. Petersburg, a real estate developer was indicted for the illegal handling of thousands of square feet of asbestos in 2010. While the EPA has established exposure limits for asbestos,

Mesothelioma Lawsuit Death

Mesothelioma Lawsuit Death The Court of Appeals of California recently resolved a contentious mesothelioma lawsuit in which an asbestos company attempted to deny the children of a deceased man the right to pursue wrongful death claims. The case pitted Elementis Chemicals, Inc. against the adult children of Marty Marteney, who died of mesothelioma in January of 2015. The Marteney’s mesothelioma lawsuit was similar to many others: Marty and his wife Marie filed a claim against Elements, Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), and many other defendants, accusing them of having been involved in the manufacture and marketing of asbestos-containing products that caused his illness. The couple settled with several of the defendants, leaving only Union Carbide and Elementis to litigate their claim, and at trial a jury apportioned a percentage of responsibility to those companies. As per the terms of the settlement with the others (which included language pertaining to wrongful death claim
