Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Re: Finding a Lawyer for a Mesothelioma case

First, sorry to hear about your grandfather. As for any legal action he may have, there will be several factors to look at, most notable pinpointing the source of the asbestos disease. Because of the number of asbestos lawsuits that have occurred over the past several years, many companies have gone bankrupt and are not viable defendants. Some that are left are on the brink of bankruptcy. So the first order of business is to determine the defendant to see if they are financially viable. If so the next step would be to get one or two top medical experts to confirm the asbestosis and connect it to the exposure, also to try to nail down the time when the exposure occurred. Bottom line, these are difficult and expensive cases, and they could take several years to complete, so be prepared to be in it for the long haul. My firm deals only with catastrophic injury and death cases and we would be happy to discuss this with you further. Please feel free to check my web site to see our credentials.

Re: Finding a Lawyer for a Mesothelioma case

Your best bet in finding a qualified lawyer is asking a lawyer you know (or the lawyer of a family member or friend) if they are aware of local lawyers with experience in this specific type of case. There are plenty around, but finding one just because they advertise or list it as a specialty is hit or miss, at best. Ask them how many of these cases they have handled. Mesothelioma cases have become somewhat of a sub-specialty.

You need to consider who will look out for your grandfather's best interests overall while not trying to take an unfair portion of the compensation that he may obtain. I am a registered nurse and an attorney who is experienced in assisting individuals facing personal health challenges, and I do not try to maximize my profits at my client's expense. I would be happy to discuss questions that you may have related to the selection of representation.
