Common Questions About Mesothelioma Settlements
How much are mesothelioma settlements?
They vary by jurisdiction, evidence, and defendants. Many resolved matters fall in the high six figures to multi-millions. Some trust fund claims can also pay in parallel with lawsuits. Learn more: https://dandell.com/mesothelioma-compensation/
Do I get less if another firm joins my case?
No. Any fee split is between the firms with your written consent. You keep the same recovery, and having co-counsel often increases results.
Can I pursue trust funds and a lawsuit at the same time?
Yes. Trust claims and lawsuits are separate and often pursued in parallel to maximize recovery.
Do VA benefits reduce my settlement?
No. VA benefits are independent of private settlements or trust fund recoveries. Learn more: https://dandell.com/mesothelioma/va-mesothelioma-claims/
