How Families Can File a Claim on Behalf of a Loved One
Mesothelioma attorney, Jim Kramer explains what family members can do if their loved one cannot participate in the claims process.
[MUSIC PLAYING] In cases where a family member may be a mesothelioma victim and unable to testify or start the process themselves, family members can step into their shoes to start the process. And what that means is talking to a mesothelioma lawyer to begin the process of filing the case, finding other people who could be witnesses in that case, that could speak about the type of work that the mesothelioma patient may have done, the types of products that person may have used, and the types of asbestos exposures that person may have had. After that's completed, a case can still move forward, depositions of those people can be taken, and settlements or even going to trial can still occur. [MUSIC PLAYING]
