Mesotheliioma Awareness, Mesothelioma History

How We Charge
We charge on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will never have to pay unless we recover money for you through bankruptcy trusts, settlement negotiations, or jury verdicts.

If we recover in your case, we charge a percentage that depends on how much effort, time, and resources we expend.

 For example, the fee for some bankruptcy settlements is 25%. The fee for a settlement with a trial defendant can range from 33% to 40%, depending on the facts of the case. We negotiate the fee structure with each client, so that we can tailor the pursuit and timing of settlements to coincide with your needs. You may choose to pursue early settlements in order to finance expensive mesothelioma treatment options, or to cover the cost of travel, housing, and other expenditures related to your treatment.

Every case is different, but the number of defendants in a mesothelioma case can range from as few as five defendants to as many as fifty-five in the case of a construction worker, refinery worker, or navy veteran. You have the freedom to decide early on whether you want to settle with certain liable companies even before the case is filed. The earlier we resolve your claim against a particular company, the less we charge. Your case can be resolved in these ways:

You can settle with asbestos bankruptcy trusts. There are about fifteen trusts now offering settlements, and another thirty-five trusts in the process of establishing claims resolution facilities.

You can authorize Roger Worthington to pursue settlement negotiations from select, potentially liable asbestos mesotheioma defendants before filing your third party civil lawsuit.

You can pursue settlements with defendants in litigation, after testifying in your deposition, or after we depose your coworkers, and after motions to mesothtelioma dismiss have been resolved in your favor. Most defendants will not enter into negotiations until the case is actually filed.

You may wish to resolve with 90% of your liable defendants and then take select defendants to trial where you can defer to the judgment of the jury on your damages as well as the defendant's liability.
