Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma, and about 3,000 cases are diagnosed in the US each year. Electricians may encounter asbestos insulation, pipe coverings made with asbestos, and various other risks while working, especially in older buildings. Asbestos-containing materials are often found inside walls, crawlspaces, boiler rooms, and utility rooms. Any level of asbestos exposure is enough to cause mesothelioma.

Wallace & Graham, PA will work diligently to gather the evidence you need to prove the most likely source of the asbestos exposure that caused your mesothelioma. You may be eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer, a claim against a mesothelioma injury trust fund, or file a personal injury case for toxic exposure against a specific defendant responsible for your condition.

Claiming Compensation for Mesothelioma in Mississippi

Workers’ compensation benefits may only cover a fraction of your total damages when you have received a terminal cancer diagnosis. A successful claim could provide medical expense coverage and compensate a portion of your lost income, and your attorney can guide you through the claim-filing process. Similarly, if you are eligible to file a claim to a mesothelioma injury trust fund, your attorney can guide you through this process as well.

If you have grounds to file a personal injury claim for toxic exposure, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, lost future earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Success with your case hinges on your ability to prove that the defendant is directly responsible for causing your claimed damages. A skilled Mississippi electricians’ mesothelioma lawyer on your side greatly increases your chances of success.

Receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis is life-changing for the victim and their family. The average five-year relative survival rate for all stages of mesothelioma is only 15%, so there is little time to build and file this type of case. When you choose Wallace & Graham, PA to represent you, you will have a dedicated legal advocate ready to guide you through every step of your proceedings.
