Mesothelioma

A mesothelioma lawsuit is a legal claim filed against companies that manufactured asbestos-containing products, which can be filed by patients or their families. There are three types of mesothelioma lawsuits: 

• Personal injury lawsuit: Filed by the patient diagnosed with mesothelioma. The patient must prove that their exposure to asbestos caused the mesothelioma. 
• Wrongful death lawsuit: Filed by the family or dependents of a victim who died from mesothelioma. This type of lawsuit seeks to compensate the family for financial losses, such as medical bills and funeral costs. 
• Product liability lawsuit: A general term for both personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.
