After filing lawsuit against the company, it will be necessary to prove the following:
* My father’s employer was responsible for the exposure
* The case of my father contracting the disease is too old because the State and federal laws require legal claims for asbestos related diseases to be undertaken within a short period of time after diagnosis. According to law, it should be done within 1-3 years of the time of diagnosis or death.
When both my parents developed this deadly disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I thought of the option of filing for bankruptcy. However, I checked out the option of compensation prior to going for bankruptcy. I would not have been eligible for compensation for following reasons:
* If the employer company is bankrupt and is without any funds, the compensation cannot be claimed unless it was taken over by another company. In order to avoid giving compensation for family members of the affected people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most companies declare bankruptcy protection in spite of having millions of dollars with them.

* Mental trauma and emotional anguish
Now my mother has developed Mesothelioma because she handled his clothing. In spite of this disease being quite rare, it can be developed even if one member of the family is exposed to asbestos and brings it home on the clothes. It can affect family members through secondary exposure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just as it happened in my family. Though it occurs more among men than women and the risk of developing it is more for older people, there are chances that it can appear among either gender at any age.
* Medical expenditures for the treatment of my mother
As my mother has also developed this disease, there are only a few options for me to be able to take care of the family financially. One option is to file lawsuits against the company where my father was exposed to asbestos.
