Legal Remedies & Medical Coverage
Nationwide Mesothelioma Lawyers – Fighting for the Medical Care You Urgently Need
The clock is ticking. A diagnosis of mesothelioma requires a prompt diagnosis so that (a) the disease can be aggressively treated and (b) a lawsuit can commence to cover the substantial financial burden of that care.
Throneberry Law Group is committed to vigorous legal representation for people who received the shocking diagnosis of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related disease. Our principal attorney, Michael Throneberry, can relate on a personal level to victims and their families because of his own experience with mesothelioma — his own father-in-law lost his life to the disease.
Legal Advocacy and Personal Service for the Hard Times Ahead
Mesothelioma treatment to control the cancer and manage the pain is costly. Our priority is getting those costs covered, so that clients and their caregivers are not burdened by financial problems when all their energy and focus is needed to fight the disease and improve the quality of life of the person living with asbestos cancer.
Contacting an attorney as soon as possible is critical. We commonly file lawsuits here in Madison County, Illinois because the court has an expedited docket for mesothelioma cases. Even then, a trial is at least nine months away, and mesothelioma patients need treatment immediately. Our advocacy is focused on securing medical coverage as soon as we have a verified mesothelioma diagnosis and we have preliminarily established the likely source(s) of asbestos exposure.
Other Compensation
Mesothelioma litigation begins as a personal injury lawsuit. We seek damages from the employers, manufacturers and corporations responsible for exposing workers or consumers to toxic asbestos fibers. In addition to medical bills, damages can include anticipated future medical care, lost earning capacity, and the personal pain and suffering. We also pursue any government disability (VA, Social Security), private insurance or workers’ compensation medical coverage and wage benefits.
All too often, mesothelioma patients die before their case gets to trial. The lawsuit must then be converted to a wrongful death suit on behalf of the surviving family members for the economic damages and for the loss of that person’s companionship and contributions. A separate survival action may be filed on behalf of the victim’s estate for that person’s pain and suffering prior to death.
