What is expected of me if I file a lawsuit?

Many mesothelioma patients are understandably apprehensive about the litigation process. At Baron & Budd, our attorneys and staff try to make the process as easy as possible for you. For example, we will travel to your home, rather than have you come to our office, to meet with you. Much of the paperwork in your case can be handled by mail.At the beginning of your case, you will meet with Baron & Budd staff to discuss the facts of your case, such as your history of exposure to asbestos. You will also be asked to sign authorizations for gathering medical and other records important to your case. You may be asked to give a deposition, whereby the attorneys for the defendants have the opportunity to ask you questions. Your own attorney might also take your deposition to preserve your testimony, in the event you are later unable to testify at trial. Such depositions typically take place at or near your home, and at your convenience. It is also common for your attorney to make a video of what a typical day in your life is like while you battle mesothelioma.
