Damages Our Skilled Attorneys Can Help You Recover

Mesothelioma is a devastating illness, and a diagnosis can have lasting impacts on victims and their families. If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or lost someone you love to asbestos exposure, you deserve to recover the maximum amount of compensation available for your losses. Here are some types of damages we can help you recover:

Current and Future Medical Expenses

A mesothelioma diagnosis comes with substantial medical costs, including surgeries, treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, medications, and ongoing medical care needed to manage the disease. Future medical expenses must also be considered, as mesothelioma often requires long-term treatment and regular monitoring. An experienced attorney can help claim these costs, ensuring you receive the necessary care without financial strain.

Lost Wages and Earning Potential

Mesothelioma often forces individuals to stop working, either temporarily or permanently. Lost wages cover the income you’ve missed out on due to your inability to work, while lost earning potential accounts for the income you could have earned in the future if you had not been diagnosed. An attorney will meticulously calculate these losses to secure compensation that reflects the full impact on your financial stability.

Emotional Distress

The psychological toll of a mesothelioma diagnosis can be immense. Victims often experience anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. Compensation for emotional distress acknowledges these struggles, providing financial support to access mental health services and improve your quality of life. A skilled attorney can effectively argue for these damages, ensuring your emotional pain is recognized.

Loss of Enjoyment in Life

Mesothelioma can significantly reduce your ability to enjoy daily activities and hobbies you once loved. Whether it’s a passion for sports, travel, or spending time with family, the limitations imposed by your illness can diminish your quality of life. Compensation for loss of enjoyment in life aims to address these profound changes, acknowledging the personal losses that accompany a mesothelioma diagnosis.

Loss of Consortium

The impact of mesothelioma extends beyond the individual diagnosed, affecting their loved ones as well. Loss of consortium damages covers the loss of companionship, support, and intimate relations experienced by spouses and family members due to your condition. This type of compensation recognizes the broader emotional and relational impact of mesothelioma, offering financial support to affected families.

Pain and Suffering

The physical pain and suffering caused by mesothelioma and its treatments can be overwhelming. This includes not only the discomfort from the disease itself but also the side effects of treatments like chemotherapy and surgery. Pain and suffering damages aim to compensate for this ongoing physical hardship, acknowledging the relentless nature of mesothelioma. An attorney can help document and present evidence of your suffering to secure a fair settlement.

Who Can Be Held Accountable for Asbestos Exposure in Florida?

Determining liability in asbestos and mesothelioma claims is often complex. In many cases, more than one party may have caused the exposure. A few common responsible parties in asbestos exposure cases include the following:

• Mining Operations: Mining operations that extract asbestos are often the source of initial exposure. These companies may fail to provide adequate safety measures, leading to harmful exposure for workers and nearby communities.
• Asbestos Manufacturers: Manufacturers that produce asbestos or asbestos-containing products can frequently be held accountable for exposure. These companies may have known the risks but failed to warn consumers or workers.
• Manufacturers of Construction Materials: Many construction materials contain asbestos, and manufacturers of these products can be liable if their use leads to your exposure. This includes companies that produce insulation, roofing materials, and other building supplies.
• Employers: Employers who expose their employees to asbestos without proper safety protocols can be held liable. This includes industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing.
• Property Owners: Owners of contaminated properties, such as buildings with asbestos insulation, may also be responsible for exposure.

At The Williams Law Firm, P.C., we will work tirelessly to establish liability and recover damages for the full extent of your physical, emotional, and financial burdens. By identifying all responsible parties, we aim to secure the compensation you deserve and ensure justice is served.
