As someone whose health has been affected by asbestos, you may be asking yourself, How will I juggle my finances?
Weitz & Luxenberg has heard this concern voiced by many of our
asbestos clients.
After learning you have an asbestos-related illness, you may now be
considering issues related to your finances, among them medical bills that will
arise as you obtain treatment.
Medical treatments can be very costly
and can strain your finances. However, our firm would like to assure you that we
take asbestos cases only on a contingency
basis. This means that you will not need to pay anything until your case ends
with a successful verdict or settlement.
Weitz & Luxenberg would
also like you to know that you don’t have to worry about expensive medical tests
or additional visits to your doctor for your case.
During your
lawsuit, we may need to send you to a doctor or ask a specialist to evaluate an
x-ray, PFT, ILO, medical narrative or other test or reports. Rest assured, the
Firm has the financial resources to cover these medical exams and other
necessary tests.
Inability to travel due to illness will not affect
your case.
We know flights are expensive, and that you would prefer
to be with your family. We’ll find a doctor in your area. If we need to meet
with you to discuss your case, we will come to you.
Your case can
succeed against the big multimillion dollar asbestos firms.
Our
winning strategy is a simple one that comes from personally delivering for each
and every client. Or, as chief trial lawyer Robert Gordon says:
“Clients want somebody who is in their corner 100 percent; who will
fight for them as if they were a member of their own family. They want someone
who is smart, experienced, and who won't rest until they get the most they can
for their client. And that is exactly what we do."
How can I stay
ahead of medical bills before I see money from a settlement or verdict?
Cases can take years. There are support groups that can offer
financial advice and even assistance during this difficult time. You can find
them here. Because this is a lengthy process, it is in your financial interest
to start any legal action sooner.
What if I don't see a multi-million dollar verdict?
While our
firm has had many successes in securing millions of dollars in verdicts and
settlements, not every client can obtain this.
For tens of thousands of clients, Weitz & Luxenberg has been able to recover money that helps pay for substantial portions of medical costs and other related expenses. We have done this even in cases where the companies who caused you to be exposed to asbestos are bankrupt.
