Mesothelioma Legal Advice

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma lung cancer, you face an uphill battle to preserve your quality of life. When your insurance does not cover all your expenses—or you have no insurance at all—finding a way to pay for expensive mesothelioma medications only adds to the anxiety and fear you and your family may already be feeling.

Fortunately, there are ways to get help with the costs of these medications. Certain hospitals have financial aid programs and several of the larger pharmaceutical companies offer patient assistance programs for those who meet specific income and eligibility requirements.

• Bristol-Myers Squibb, which makes one of the leading mesothelioma treatment drugs Cisplatin, has several patient assistance programs available.
• Eli-Lilly, manufacturer of Alimta and Gemzar, has its PatientOne oncology patient assistance program.
• Pfizer, which makes components of several chemotherapy medications, also makes Ellence for treating mesothelioma and offers help through itsFirstResource program.

Whether you have insurance or not, be sure to contact the appropriate department of your hospital to find out about possible financial assistance programs—for medications, hospital treatment, and doctor care. That kind of assistance is often available if your income and circumstances fit their requirements. And many non-profit hospitals are required by federal law to offer some degree of financial assistance to eligible patients.

If you have mesothelioma lung cancer and you believe you may have suffered asbestos exposure some time during your work—or if you lived with someone who may have had such exposure—do not hesitate to speak confidentially with a qualified mesothelioma attorney. Only an attorney experienced in pursuing successful asbestos lawsuits can give you the kind of solid mesothelioma legal advice you need at this time. Don’t hesitate to consult an expert to find out if you may have a viable case and may potentially be able to receive significant compensation for you and your family’s suffering.
