When faced with a mesothelioma diagnosis some people focus on getting treatment and don't want to think about financial compensation. This is an understandable attitude. However there are some things to consider:
Limited Time. Once you are diagnosed, the statute of limitations begins. In most states it's 2 to 3 years. If you wait beyond the time limit you will be unable to seek compensation.
Cancer treatments can be very expensive. Compensation can provide for this and in some cases provide for much of a family's future.
