MESOTHELIOMA LAWYER MINNEAPOLIS – WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR A MESOTHELIOMA SETTLEMENT?


Asbestos litigation is a unique process, from the date of filing the case to the settlement. This is because mesothelioma cases typically have a short statutes of limitations (the time in which you’re allowed to file a lawsuit) but require a long legal process.

Due to the nature of the illness and life expectancy of the claimant courts generally believe that such cases should be handled with expediency and go forward as quickly as possible. Here are the steps that lead up to your settlement:

  • Interview and information gathering: To get started you will consult with attorneys who will speak with you about your health and confirm your official medical diagnosis. The Mesothelioma Lawyer Minneapolis makes this process as simple and stress-free as possible. Attorney Dean Salita has spent nearly 25 years representing victims and the families of asbestos exposure and is compassionate and understanding of your pain. During your consultation we will discuss your work history and identify where and when you were exposed to asbestos and assess the damages caused by your asbestos related illness.
  • Filing your Mesothelioma claim: There are laws regarding where you can make your claim, and only when we know the facts can we determine where your suit should be filed. We represent Minnesota workers exposed to asbestos in their jobs, if needed, we’ll recommend the most appropriate attorney in our long-established network of legal specialists in different states with whom we have worked before.
  • Discovery:  The Mesothelioma Lawyer Minneapolis will have an opportunity to question the companies responsible for your asbestos exposure in a deposition. Their attorneys will also have the opportunity to question you. During this process both sides will gather information that may be used in court if necessary. Court is considered a last resort and most asbestos lawsuits end in settlement because the evidence is usually very strong and on our victims’ side.
  • Reaching a fair settlement: If the companies responsible for your asbestos exposure make settlement offers, we will advise you on whether or not you should accept. This is where having an experienced mesothelioma attorney is essential. Mesothelioma Lawyer Minneapolis has decades of experience in asbestos litigation ensure that he knows a fair mesothelioma settlement amount. Furthermore, he understands the financial impact that fighting a asbestos illness has. He knows how much you’ll need to take care of your family, pay your bills and maintain the standard of living you have earned. He also knows what he can successfully obtain as compensation for the mental and physical pain that comes with a asbestos-related disease.

Having the wrong attorney evaluate your settlement offer could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, possibly even millions.
