Can I seek compensation for the cancer now?

If you were previously diagnosed with asbestosis and have recently been diagnosed with an asbestos-related cancer, such as mesothelioma, there is a chance that you can also be compensated for the cancer. Many states recognize that mesothelioma develops many years after a disease like asbestosis, and that a person has the right to seek compensation for both. Baron & Budd has successfully convinced courts in Texas, Florida and Iowa to allow recovery for asbestos victims in such cases, and several other states also recognize this right. There might be other factors involved in whether you can bring a second claim, which your attorney can evaluate for you.
