Mesothelioma Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one to mesothelioma is devastating. The companies responsible for their asbestos exposure should be held accountable.

When Mesothelioma Takes a Loved One

When a family member dies from mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, surviving family members have the legal right to pursue compensation from the companies that caused their loved one's exposure. These wrongful death claims can provide financial security during an incredibly difficult time.

Wrongful death claims have strict time limits. In Texas, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of death. In California, it is two years. Contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

  • Spouses — surviving husbands and wives
  • Children — both minor and adult children
  • Parents — in some circumstances
  • Personal representatives — of the deceased person's estate

Compensation Available

Wrongful death compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses incurred before death
  • Lost future income and benefits
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and support
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Pain and suffering experienced before death

In addition to wrongful death lawsuits, surviving family members may also file asbestos trust fund claims on behalf of their loved one.
