Do You Have a Mesothelioma Cancer Claim?
The connection to asbestos exposure is clear for many individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma – but proving liability can feel like an uphill battle. This aggressive cancer is directly linked to inhaling or ingesting asbestos fibers, often decades before symptoms arise. Even brief exposures, whether from a workplace or secondhand through a family member, have also been correlated to life-altering consequences.
Despite the clearly documented dangers of asbestos, companies continued to use it anyway in the industrial, manufacturing, and construction sectors well into the late 20th century.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 3,000 new mesothelioma diagnoses occur each year in the U.S. Many of those affected were exposed to asbestos in work environments where safety warnings were either inadequate or absent.
Asbestos exposure victims who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma have legal options. Employers and manufacturers who failed to disclose the known risks should be held responsible for the harm they’ve caused. With decades of experience in mesothelioma litigation, SWMW conducts in-depth investigations to determine exposure history, identify liability, and build solid claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Asbestos Mesothelioma Lawyers Receive
How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a mesothelioma lawsuit varies by state, typically ranging from 1 to 3 years after the diagnosis or, in wrongful death cases, from the date of a loved one’s passing. Because legal deadlines can be complex, speaking with an experienced mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible is vital to ensure you don’t miss your window. Our team can quickly determine your eligibility and guide you through the asbestos lawsuit filing process.
What compensation can I recover?
Compensation amounts vary widely based on factors such as the extent of your asbestos exposure, the severity of your illness, lost wages, and medical expenses. Victims may recover compensation through settlements, verdicts, or asbestos trust funds.
While past results cannot guarantee future outcomes, several mesothelioma lawsuits have resulted in multi-million-dollar settlements. Our mesothelioma law firm is committed to maximizing the compensation available to you and your family.
Do I need to travel for my case?
No. We understand that a mesothelioma diagnosis is physically and emotionally exhausting, and traveling for legal proceedings shouldn’t be an added burden. Our mesothelioma lawyers will come to you, whether at your home or in a medical facility, to discuss your case. We handle everything on your behalf, from gathering evidence to negotiating settlements and preparing for trial so that you can focus on your health and family.
Can I file a lawsuit if a loved one passes away from mesothelioma?
Yes. If you’ve lost a loved one to mesothelioma, you may be eligible for a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf. These lawsuits help surviving family members recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and emotional suffering. Our compassionate asbestos lawyers will work closely with you to seek justice and hold negligent companies accountable for their actions.
What if I don’t know how or when I was exposed to asbestos?
Many individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma are unsure exactly when and where their asbestos exposure occurred. Our experienced attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation, examining your work history, military service, and other potential exposure sources. We work with industry experts and use extensive databases of known asbestos-containing products to help pinpoint where and how exposure happened. Even if you don’t have all the answers, we will work diligently to uncover the facts and build a strong case.
How long does a mesothelioma lawsuit take?
The timeline for a mesothelioma lawsuit varies based on jurisdiction, available evidence, and whether a case goes to trial. Some may resolve in a matter of months through settlements, while others may take longer if they proceed to trial.
Given the aggressive nature of mesothelioma, courts often prioritize these cases to expedite compensation. Our attorneys move quickly, frequently filing cases within weeks, to ensure you recover the compensation you need as soon as possible.
Will my case go to trial?
Most mesothelioma lawsuits result in settlements before reaching trial, allowing victims to receive compensation without the stress of a courtroom battle. However, if the opposing party doesn’t offer a fair settlement, our trial-ready mesothelioma personal injury lawyers will present your case before a jury. We will always provide honest advice on whether accepting a settlement or proceeding to trial is in your best interest.
What costs are involved in filing a mesothelioma lawsuit?
At SWMW Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We advance all case-related costs, and you only pay if we successfully secure compensation for you. This ensures that financial concerns never stand in the way of seeking justice.
Can veterans file an asbestos exposure claim?
Yes. Veterans are among the most commonly affected groups due to widespread asbestos exposure in the military, particularly in shipyards, aircraft, barracks, and other infrastructure.
While VA benefits are available, they may not cover all costs associated with mesothelioma treatment. Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit against asbestos manufacturers can provide additional compensation. Our asbestos lawyers have extensive experience representing veterans and their families
What if the company responsible for my asbestos exposure is no longer in business?
Even if the company that exposed you to asbestos is no longer operational, you may still have legal options. The companies that filed for bankruptcy were required to establish asbestos trust funds to compensate victims.
Our mesothelioma attorneys will identify all available sources of compensation, whether through trust funds, asbestos lawsuits, or other legal avenues, to ensure you receive the financial support you deserve.
