What You Need to Know

Mesothelioma

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you have by now almost certainly been confronted with the harsh reality of the disease. The internet is brutally honest about patients’ prognoses and the last thing most people want to think about after being diagnosed with mesothelioma is a lawyer. Yet, everywhere the patient turns, there is another print, radio or television advertisement or attorney website encouraging folks to hire a mesothelioma lawyer in San Diego and to do so quickly. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to search for critical information about state of the art medical treatment and prognoses without first sifting through San Diego mesothelioma attorney websites and advertisements. Even the most informative websites are maintained by law firms seeking clients with mesothelioma. This is frankly because of the high value associated with prosecuting mesothelioma cases. The onslaught of information is overwhelming for the patient and for his or her family, and they truly don't know who to trust.

San Diego mesothelioma attorney Donald R. Oder has personally worked with hundreds of people suffering from mesothelioma and other asbestos related cancers. He has personally worked with the patients and their families through the litigation process and understands too well the personal toll mesothelioma takes. The litigation process can be daunting, requiring time and effort from patients at a time when they are struggling to fight a terrible disease. A typical mesothelioma case requires the patient to sit through initial and follow up interviews often trying to remember decades of exposure history, a cumbersome deposition (sometimes days or even weeks of testimony depending upon what the patient remembers about his or her exposure history), requests for documents going back decades and a trial. Surprisingly, it is most often the patients who are committed to the process despite the toll it takes on them and on their families. This is because they seek justice. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos and those diagnosed are almost always perplexed that they were never told of its hazards. In some cases, the patient has no clue how they might have been exposed and are baffled that they have contracted an asbestos disease.
