Mesothelioma cases are often settled outside of the courtroom. However, if the other side offers you a settlement, make sure you figure out if this offer is fair before you accept it.
The other side may provide claimants with a meager settlement amount because they believe these individuals will accept it without asking questions or looking into whether the amount is fair to them. However, if you accept a settlement offer and determine later that more money is needed to cover your losses and expenses, you will not be able to return to the other party and ask for more.
For these reasons, if the other side offers you money, review the amount with an attorney before you agree to anything. These lawyers can determine not only if the offer is fair, but if it is not, they can go back to the other side and fight for a higher amount or go to trial to seek the compensation you deserve.
