Should I file a lawsuit with mesothelioma lawyers immediately after exposure to asbestos?
Depending on where you are in the world, different courts will have different limitation periods. If you look at the terminology used, you are in the United States. You don’t “sue” lawyers, they sue you in court.
However, if you are not suffering, you cannot order attorneys to file a lawsuit on your behalf. Asbestos does not expose itself. After being exposed to asbestos, if you develop pleural plaques or another asbestos-induced disease, you can make a claim after you are diagnosed. It may be many years after exposure to asbestos.
How can I find asbestos lawyers in Boston?
You have all sorts of 1-800 lawyers that refer to you as “free”, but in the end I would just take it, nothing is free. I personally phone the Massachusetts State Bar Association and ask them. If you already have a lawyer or a good person, you can go that way too.
How do you pay for asbestos lawyers?
Asbestos lawyers usually work on a contingency fee basis. That is, they will bring your claim for free, but if you get paid from an asbestos trust fund, the lawyer will cover your costs and take a 25-40% fee on net recovery.
Why does a lawyer lie to me about the money I get in an asbestos lawsuit?
Just because someone gives you false information does not mean they are lying. They could be wrong. Or maybe someone misrepresented them. If inaccurate information is coming from an asbestos company lawyer, the chances of lying are high because they try to minimize your settlement. If it’s coming from your lawyer, that’s a mistake, unless your lawyer is afraid to go to trial and you want to take a lobby settlement offer.
