Mesothelioma Victims Center Has Created New List For Family Members: What To Do If A Loved One Has Been Diagnosed With Mesothelioma
(PRWEB) September 17, 2013 -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center has come up with a list of things a family must do, if a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma.
1. Upon learning of a mesothelioma diagnosis, the victim or a family member should contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center at 866-714-6466. The group will prepare a tailor made treatment options report, that will detail the names and specific contacts for the best oncology specialists in the specific area, or region of the victim. This tailor made report is designed for efficiency so that a victim, and their families can make a timely decision about the best treatment option possibilities.
2. Simultaneous to gathering information about treatment options, the Mesothelioma Victims Center will suggest the names and specific contacts of the nation's best mesothelioma compensation attorneys to the diagnosed victim, or their family members. These attorneys are specialized in getting the best possible compensation for victims exposed to: asbestos while serving in the US Navy, or working at a power plant, the construction trades, a factory, a shipyard, a chemical plant, a steel mill, etc. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, “When we say the best mesothelioma compensation attorneys in the nation, we are very serious. The attorneys we suggest represent the victim from start to finish. No middleman law firms.”
3. Upon learning of a mesothelioma diagnosis, the family should have a meeting about wills and assigning a responsible family member with what is called “medical power of attorney”, and “power attorney over the estate.” The Mesothelioma Victims Center also has a tailor made program that aims to educate key topics that should be discussed in this meeting. Most importantly though, the meeting should include making sure everyone is on board and willing to be there for the victim, as much as possible.
This list was the direct result of a phone call they had this past week. "We received a phone call from the son of a victim of mesothelioma who was diagnosed in May and died a quick two months later in July. He told us there was no will in place by his father. Nor did any family member ever think to get a legal opinion about compensation. Because of the victim's work history as a construction worker, and a plumber, this mesothelioma compensation claim could have been worth millions. Hopefully with our hard work, it may still be. With one call to 866-714-6466, we helped this grieving family and put them on the best possible track for what could be substantial financial compensation."http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
In this particular instance the adult son of the victim reached out to the Mesothelioma Victims Center, because he felt the group was the best branded source for mesothelioma financial compensation in his state. He had already spoken with two different mesothelioma marketing firms, who pressured him and wanted to instantly hop on an airplane to get him signed up. Until he talked to the Victims Center no one had asked him the right questions such as power of attorney, estate, how many places his dad had been exposed to asbestos, etc.
According to the CDC, high risk groups for mesothelioma cancer include shipyard workers, power plant workers, oil refinery workers, plumbers, electricians, county or city municipal water district workers, miners, demolition construction workers, railroad workers, and auto brake technicians. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Typically the average US mesothelioma victim is about 72 years old. More often than not mesothelioma is diagnosed three, four, or even five decades after the person was exposed to asbestos.”
Individuals or their family members dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis are encouraged to contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via its web site for their remarkable on the spot services. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
