Choosing the Best Mesothelioma Lawyer

Legally Reviewed and Edited by: Terry Cochran

In the United States, asbestos litigation has grown to include a stunning number of asbestos companies and mesothelioma patients. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma in Michigan, it’s possible to get the justice and compensation you deserve by engaging mesothelioma attorneys at our law firm to help you fight your case.

Every attorney has a specialization, and many attorneys focus on fields that don’t have anything to do with workplace injuries or mesothelioma. Hiring a lawyer at Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. who specializes in mesothelioma injuries and wrongful death cases is critical to winning your case.

A mesothelioma lawyer at Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. can help you understand all your legal options and work with you to prove the merits of your case and win compensation. Choosing the best mesothelioma lawyer requires establishing trust by asking about the lawyer’s track record and experience. A free initial consultation is the first step to establishing that relationship and making sure an attorney at our law firm is a good fit for you.

Legal Knowledge

Asbestos cases are complex, especially since they involve patients who may have been exposed to asbestos many years ago. Winning compensation from asbestos trust funds requires extensive documentation of the victim’s work experience, medical history, and other factors that prove exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos attorneys must be up-to-date on all case precedents and changes in law that may affect their cases. In Michigan, the statute of limitation on asbestos cases is three years from the time the victim learns of their asbestos related disease. Establishing that a case is within the statute of limitations sometimes requires specialized knowledge pertaining to medical documentation. At Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. senior partner, Eileen Kroll is also a registered nurse and can help alleviate the burden of medical proof from your shoulders as well as decipher unfamiliar medical jargon.

The limits and rules for compensation are complex, and attorneys need thorough understanding of the rules in order to maximize victims’ compensation. There are also different laws regarding personal injury lawsuits, wrongful death lawsuits, and asbestos trust fund claims.

Wrongful death lawsuits can be particularly difficult, as they require an attorney to establish a chain of events pertaining to a deceased victim. This level of detective work requires both legal and technical knowledge in order to gather enough evidence to win a case.

Technical Knowledge

Attorneys must know what questions to ask victims in order to prove exposure to asbestos. While workplace history is sometimes sufficient, attorneys often need to be able to establish which specific tools or job duties would have exposed the victim. This practical knowledge comes after years of experience in mesothelioma cases, and cannot be replicated by attorneys with other specializations.

The best mesothelioma attorneys also recruit testimony from a number of experts, including doctors and technical experts on asbestos and mesothelioma cancers. Although attorneys have substantial knowledge themselves, they must also present testimony from experts to win in court.
