Mesothelioma Resources
While the mesothelioma resources on this website mainly focus on the legal aspects of mesothelioma, there are a few online mesothelioma resources that provide a wealth of useful information on the medical aspects of this asbestos cancer.
If you or your loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma, and you preferred to discuss your problem with a live person, we encourage you to contact one of our experienced mesothelioma attorneys, who will be happy to address any of your questions and concerns about your mesothelioma situation.

malignant mesothelioma, its treatment, causes, clinical trials, and other
pertinent information.

OncoLink is a website run by Abramson Cancer Center of the University of
Pennsylvania where you can get comprehensive resources on mesothelioma
and other types of cancer, as well as updates on treatments and news about
mesothelioma research advances.
Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation
http://www.curemeso.org
The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (formerly known as MARF) is
a national non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for mesothelioma.
ATTENTION: Mesothelioma has no known cure and often causes severe pain, suffering,
and other types of damage, such as loss of consortium, and loss of income.
Additionally, due to the exceedingly high cost of mesothelioma treatments,
many families exhaust savings and accumulate financial debt in order to
pay for the medical expenses of their family member.
Under the law of most states, pain and suffering from mesothelioma may
be compensated through the award of money damages, usually obtained with
the help of experienced
mesothelioma attorneys. In some states other types of damages may also be recovered.
Asbestos litigation affords mesothelioma victims the opportunity to receive
financial compensation and hold accountable the companies that caused
their asbestos exposure.
IMPORTANT: If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer as early as possible to determine if you have a mesothelioma case and to:
- Preserve your rights to bring a legal action against the responsible parties within the limited time frame allowed by law, known as statute of limitations;
-
Obtain maximum compensation in your case by being able to:
- Preserve evidence and establish facts of the asbestos exposure while the claimant is still alive and able to provide information;
- File and resolve a lawsuit against the responsible parties before they file for bankruptcy or, if they already have, to obtain compensation before their bankruptcy trust funds run out of money;
- Expedite your case, as courts tend to give higher priority to mesothelioma lawsuits where the claimant is still alive.
