Asbestos exposure claims involve a lot of hard work, as they are very complex to prepare for submission.
Your lawyer, along with their legal team, will need to gather sufficient pertinent and reliable evidence to support the connection between your asbestos exposure and your diagnosis, as well as take care of many other necessary documents that must accompany your claim.
In general, victims of asbestos exposure who struggle with serious diseases such as lung cancer or mesothelioma will receive compensation within the shortest period of time, as the people who are in charge of asbestos trust funds are aware that they are often in urgent need of money to afford healthcare and treatment.
However, please keep in mind that the process of preparing your asbestos claim for submission can take several months, depending on factors such as:
Therefore, you should be patient after you send an expert evaluator your employment or military records and your medical records, as they will have to invest plenty of hours into thoroughly preparing your asbestos claim. Your asbestos claim will be submitted with the asbestos trust funds, with the companies that exposed you to asbestos, and with the VA. If you are a veteran, you will have to wait between 6 months to 2 years to receive your financial compensation, depending on the number of asbestos trust funds your claim was filed with, how many claims the asbestos trust funds have to process, and how severe your diagnosis is.
If you have lung cancer or mesothelioma, your asbestos claim will be expedited so that you can benefit from the compensation you need as soon as possible. On the other hand, if you have a non-malignant disease caused by asbestos exposure, the waiting time will be longer, as your claim will not be prioritized.
