Filing A Mesothelioma Lawsuit In New York NY
If you’re coping with a serious disease due to asbestos exposure, the thought of filing a mesothelioma lawsuit can be daunting. But you and your family deserve restitution for the harm you’ve suffered at the hands of large asbestos companies that failed to warn the public of the dangers of their products.
The NY mesothelioma lawyers at Belluck & Fox work with patients and their families to review all available options for pursuing compensation. Although not every case requires filing a lawsuit, we think it is important for our clients to have a general understanding of the process so they know what to expect.
Our first contact with you will be a phone call with Mr. Belluck or Mr. Fox. If we determine during that call that you should pursue a legal claim, we will schedule an appointment to meet with you in person as soon as possible, frequently within 24 hours. During this initial meeting, we will explain the process of filing and prosecuting a lawsuit, take notes on your work history and medical history, and obtain signed authorizations to obtain copies of your medical and employment records.
Our mesothelioma lawyers will begin an investigation to start building your case
Because a mesothelioma diagnosis can come decades after your exposure to asbestos, we compile detailed information about where you worked or served in the military. We also review what you remember about the types of products you handled or worked nearby. Our goal is to determine which companies are responsible for your exposure so we can hold them accountable.
Once we’ve gathered all our evidence, we will file a complaint with the court
This complaint will provide details about your mesothelioma diagnosis and treatment plan, and it will name the companies or other parties that we plan to hold responsible. (A mesothelioma lawsuit typically is not filed against a former employer or the military. Instead, it is filed against the manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, or installers of asbestos products.)
We will exchange information with the opposite side during the discovery process
This is a chance to show the at-fault parties how strong our case is. We may take testimony from you in a deposition about your case, but you will not be asked to travel to court. Our New York mesothelioma lawyers understand based on prior results that medical issues can make travel difficult, so we can arrange for a deposition at a location that is most convenient for you. A lawyer also may conduct interviews with your former coworkers, as well as medical and other experts, to include as evidence.
Our attorneys are fully ready to pursue a lawsuit before a judge and jury, even though most cases are resolved by a full and fair mesothelioma settlement
Frankly, most mesothelioma claims result in settlements from asbestos trusts because the companies would rather avoid the risk of a trial. Our attorneys will present you with mesothelioma settlement offers and discuss your options for moving forward.
From the first time we meet with you, we consider and act in your best interest. We provide the best legal advice so that you can make the best decisions for your case. Some clients want a trial to have their case heard by a jury. Other clients do not prefer a trial for a variety of reasons, so we advise them closely about different options for resolving their claims in a satisfactory manner. Regardless, at all stages, including the decision about proceeding to trial, our top priority is you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mesothelioma and the Law
When your family faces mesothelioma, your lives feel as if they’ve been turned upside down. But while you’re struggling with pressing medical issues, it’s also necessary to find legal help to protect your rights. There are deadlines for filing claims in New York, and evidence needs to be preserved.
Mesothelioma can be a difficult disease to understand, and you no doubt have numerous questions. We can help you find the answers.
Can I Contact a Lawyer on Behalf of My Parent, Spouse or Other Relative?
Yes. Please contact Belluck & Fox, LLP, if your father, mother, husband, wife or other relative has been diagnosed. We will help your family protect your legal rights and pursue full and fair compensation. We have significant experience working with asbestos victims and their families.
What Will a Lawsuit Cost?
If you retain our services, we will work for you and your family on a contingency basis. This means that we do not receive a fee unless we recover compensation for you. If you receive no money, you will not be billed any fees or expenses.
While your case is pending, we advance the costs of working on your behalf. Once the case is completed, the legal fees and expenses are deducted from the money we recover for you. You and your loved ones receive the remainder of the award.
An attorney can sit down with you and answer detailed questions you may have about a contingency agreement. It is vital to us that you are fully aware of this contract before we begin to work on your claim. You will receive a copy of the retainer contract so that you can review it and discuss it with us at any time.
What If My Loved One Has Died or Is Too Sick to Speak to an Asbestos Lawyer?
Sometimes a person is too ill to participate in his or her own case. In other cases where loved ones have already passed away, a wrongful death lawsuit can still be filed on their behalf.
Regardless of the reason an individual is unable to testify, we work closely with relatives, friends and coworkers to establish the facts we need for a successful outcome. We also have access to an array of resources to secure information about the asbestos products to which your loved one was exposed.
If your family member has died, we can file a claim on behalf of his or her relatives, as well as through the administrator or the executor of the estate.
