(PRWEB) April 14, 2014 -- The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, “This week we are expanding on our mission of helping families obtain the best possible compensation after the loss of a loved one to the rare form of cancer known as mesothelioma. We've put together some tips that we know will help the grieving family through the difficult times ahead.

“We also want any family who recently lost a loved one to mesothelioma to call 866-714-6466 so that we can immediately assemble a team of some of the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys. All the effort we put in is done to ensure that the family actually gets what could be significant financial compensation. In most of these instances, the family did not have time to begin the mesothelioma compensation claim's process. We are hoping that the following tips can help prevent the loss of compensation from happening to anyone else." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Mesothelioma Victims Center's Vital Tips For A Family Who Recently Lost A Loved To Mesothelioma:

  • The very first thing that needs to be in order is having a pathology report confirming the cause of death was attributed to mesothelioma. An additional way of proving mesothelioma is to have a biopsy or autopsy completed. Without confirmation the victim actually died from mesothelioma, compensation becomes difficult, if not impossible.
  • The second thing we suggest the family takes care of is establishing power of attorney. It is important that a responsible family member is appointed with this task.
  • Call the Mesothelioma Victims Center at 866-714-6466 for any questions related to finding the right type of attorney to deal with a potential mesothelioma compensation claim. The center also has resources on how to go about wills, probates and other legal matters, and this information can be found at http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
  • Don't wait too long to begin the compensation process. It's crucial that you act sooner versus later because if you wait too long you could potentially loose out on compensation all together.

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "At least once a week we get a phone call from a family member of a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma inquiring about mesothelioma compensation. In many instances the victim was initially diagnosed with pneumonia, but after more careful review, the doctor determined rather than pneumonia, that it was a rare form of cancer called “mesothelioma.” The problem is frequently the mesothelioma was discovered at such an advanced stage the victim only had days or weeks to live. If this is you, or if this has happened to a family member, please call us at 866-714-6466 so we can try to assemble a national caliber team of extremely skilled mesothelioma attorneys for you, in the hopes a mesothelioma compensation claim can be developed. Like we said, in many instances like the family never had time to begin the mesothelioma compensation claims process." http://MessotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Information About Mesothelioma For Diagnosed Victims And Their Families From The Mesothelioma Victims Center:

The average age for a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma is 72 years old. Victims of mesothelioma are frequently misdiagnosed with pneumonia. This year between 2,500 and 3,000 US citizens will be diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is 100% attributable to exposure to asbestos.

One-third of diagnosed victims of mesothelioma served in the US Navy. Other high-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos include: shipyard workers, oil refinery workers, manufacturing workers, plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics, machinists, or construction workers. Typically the exposure to asbestos occurred in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
