No, if you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma in New Orleans, you’ll pursue a claim against any of a number of potential parties, from former employers and the VA to the manufacturers of asbestos-containing products, based on those entities’ negligence in exposing you to cancer-causing asbestos.
Wrongful death claims in a mesothelioma context are filed by the survivors of a loved one who has died against the parties whose negligence caused the loved one to develop mesothelioma.
It is possible for you to collect compensation and, if you succumb to mesothelioma, for your family to bring a wrongful death suit against the guilty parties after your death.
These cases are complicated, both legally and emotionally, which is why it’s a good idea to sit down with an experienced mesothelioma attorney who can explain your options to you.
At The Gertler Law Firm, we realize that this is a difficult time for you and your family, and we make it our mission to provide easy, stress-free consultations in whatever place is most convenient to you.
