Why Is It Important to Hire an Experienced Mesothelioma Lawyer?
Daniel Wasserberg, partner at Meirowitz & Wasserberg, emphasizes the importance of hiring an experienced mesothelioma lawyer.
It's very, very important to hire an experienced diss lawyer. I can't overemphasize this. There are people who have hired non asbestos lawyers to do their cases and their non asbestos lawyer has come to us as the statute of limitation is about to expire and said, I have no idea what I'm doing. I've tried to figure it out. I can't figure it out. Can you please help me? And these are people who are competent lawyers. This is a very, very well developed area of the law, but within that well developed, there is just an enormous amount of information. It's a sea of information. The attorneys need to understand the products. They need to understand which companies are viable, solvent companies that can be named in a lawsuit, They need to understand which companies are bankrupt and have a trust and cannot be sued. You know, we see lawyers suing bankrupt companies and then getting hit with, costs because the they're they were not supposed to sue these bankrupt entities. So you really need to hire an expert in the field. I recently met with a man with mesothelioma, and he told me that his nephew was an attorney. And he told me that his nephew did, like wills and trusts and probate type work locally. And I wasn't sure where the conversation was going. And he told me that his nephew said to him, uncle Brian, this is not the kind of work that I do. I wish I could help you, but I wouldn't really even know where to start. And I was like, good for that attorney because, you know, everybody wants to be able to handle one of these kinds of cases. But most people, anyone who's never done one doesn't know how to handle it. And most people, even if they have done a few, still have a lot to learn. So it's very, very important for you to hire an experienced mesothelioma free.
