People who have developed mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos are often left with unanswered questions about their condition and what they can do about it. With the assistance of one of the asbestos and mesothelioma attorneys at our office in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, victims of asbestos exposure can find the answers they are seeking. Contact Siegfried & Jensen if you would like to meet with one of our lawyers.

How is mesothelioma diagnosed?

Unfortunately, mesothelioma is very difficult to diagnose as its symptoms can easily be mistaken for symptoms of other, less serious respiratory diseases and conditions. Some of these symptoms include chest pain, coughing, and wheezing, all of which are relatively common. Even worse, many of the symptoms of mesothelioma do not become evident until the disease has spread, which can occur anytime between a few years and multiple decades after first exposure to asbestos.

Family members of individuals who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma should also check for the disease, as asbestos dust can be easily transported on clothes, skin, and hair. Our mesothelioma and asbestos attorneys are ready to help residents of Salt Lake City and other areas throughout Utah pursue the compensation we believe justice demands. Contact Siegfried & Jensen to hear more about how we can help you and your family recover damages.

As a victim of mesothelioma, what legal rights do I have?

Due to the fact that the development of mesothelioma is almost exclusively connected with exposure to asbestos, people who have are afflicted by the disease have a legal right to pursue monetary compensation. In order to file for damage recovery, the victim must first identify the party responsible for the asbestos exposure. While it may prove difficult for an individual to track down the offending party, the asbestos and mesothelioma attorneys at our Salt Lake City, Utah-area law firm are trained in finding out who should be held liable.

Though the victim has the legal right to file for compensation, actually winning a case is incredibly difficult without the help of legal representation. With the aid of our mesothelioma and asbestos attorneys, residents of Salt Lake City and other areas throughout Utah will be ideally positioned to recover damages for the financial, emotional, and physical struggles they have endured as a result of the disease. Our lawyers have gained substantial experience and success litigating asbestos and mesothelioma cases and hope to be given the chance to fight for your rights.

How much compensation can I expect to receive?

If the defendant or defendants are found liable for having exposed victims of mesothelioma to asbestos, substantial compensation is typical. Even though liability in asbestos and mesothelioma cases can be difficult to prove, our team of attorneys has garnered the experience and knowledge necessary for doing so. Because exposure to asbestos can lead to the deadly mesothelioma that severely harms the lives of victims and their families, our lawyers have each dedicated themselves to engaging in the diligent, aggressive pursuit of compensation.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Utah, people who have been afflicted by mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos have up to four years to file a claim for monetary compensation against the parties responsible. If a claim is not filed within four years, however, the victim loses the right to pursue compensation for physical, emotional, and financial damages. Because mesothelioma can develop decades after the initial exposure to asbestos, the four year time frame starts after the initial development of the disease. Even though victims have these four years after the onset of mesothelioma, contacting our asbestos attorneys in the Salt Lake City, Utah area is very beneficial, as it gives our team of experts a better chance to seek out the source of exposure and identify the responsible parties.
