How Do I Know I Have a Mesothelioma Case?
Mesothelioma is often an aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis, but those impacted by this disease could be eligible to file a case for compensation.
Since every case is unique, our legal team is unable to provide a definitive answer until we are able to review your situation. This is why we encourage you to consult with one of our licensed attorneys to evaluate your legal options and determine whether you may have grounds for a mesothelioma case.

How Much Could My Case Be Worth?
The value of a mesothelioma case will depend on certain factors. If you and other fellow co-workers have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, you may be able to pursue compensation through a mesothelioma trust fund.
Mesothelioma trust funds are usually managed by trustees who are responsible for figuring out how much compensation is allocated to those who file a case against the company. To be eligible for compensation, you need to prove your exposure to asbestos. This process could include meeting certain medical requirements, providing information on the stage of your disease and outlining the extent of your exposure to asbestos.
If a loved once has passed since being diagnosed with mesothelioma, there is no cap or limit to the amount of damages you could recover on his or her behalf in a wrongful death lawsuit. A qualified Avondale mesothelioma attorney is prepared to advocate for your rights. There is no risk or obligation involved.

Deadline for Taking Legal Action
The majority of mesothelioma cases must be filed typically within a two-year period starting from the date you were diagnosed by a doctor. This is in accordance with Arizona’s statute of limitations. There are certain instances where you may be asked to file sooner or later. These types of cases are complex and take time, which is why it is in your best interest to retain the services of a lawyer who can build a strong case for you.
Should you have questions about the legal process or are not sure if your deadline has passed, reach out to our legal team for advice. Our experienced Avondale mesothelioma lawyers are standing by to take your call.
Types of Mesothelioma Cases We Handle
The most common types of mesothelioma are defined by the location of the cancer. Our lawyers at Philips Law Group are prepared to take on cases involving many different kinds of mesothelioma, such as:
Pleural Mesothelioma
This cancer forms in the pleural lining or chest and is the most common type, accounting for 70 to 75 percent of mesothelioma cases. Victims often experience pain in the chest, difficulty breathing, weight loss, fatigue and fever. Life expectancy for those with a stage one diagnosis is about three years with treatment while those with a stage four diagnosis can expect to live for about one year with treatment.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
This cancer forms in the peritoneum or lining of the abdomen, accounting for about 10 to 20 percent of mesothelioma cases. Victims often experience pain in the abdomen, along with bloating, swelling, a decreased appetite and bowel changes. Half of those with this diagnosis can live for six weeks to 15 months with surgery.
Testicular Mesothelioma
This cancer forms in the lining of the testes and is the most rare, accounting for no more than 100 reported mesothelioma cases. Victims often experience swelling in the scrotum and lumps in the testicles that are painless. Those with this diagnosis can live for about two years with surgery and chemotherapy.
While there are several treatments options available for mesothelioma victims, there is currently no cure. If you have received a diagnosis and think you may have a valid case, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation in a free, no-obligation legal consultation. There is nothing to lose to see if you qualify.

Mesothelioma Signs and Symptoms
Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms generally do not manifest until 20 to 50 years after being initially exposed to asbestos. This makes it very hard for victims to obtain an early diagnosis, which often results in the disease progressively getting worse and not getting diagnosed until an advanced stage.
Common signs and symptoms of mesothelioma include the following:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Dry or wheezing cough
- Respiratory issues
- Abdominal pain
- Fever or night sweats
- Fluid buildup around the lungs
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
When these symptoms are identified and treated as soon as possible, mesothelioma victims often have a better prognosis. They can have a greater life expectancy. A biopsy would detect if you have the disease.
Occupations With a Risk of Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral commonly used throughout the U.S. in construction building materials, commercial products and household items. It was used in concrete and cement, drywall, insulation, roofing, paints and flooring, as well as in plastics, rubber, gloves and electrical appliances.
Today, asbestos-containing products has been proven to cause cancer and other serious diseases. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) of 1970 was created to help regulate asbestos exposure in the workplace. Although regulations have limited asbestos exposure, there is still some risk in certain jobs.
These occupations include:
- Boiler mechanics
- Construction workers
- Factory workers
- Firefighters
- Industrial workers
- Insulators
- Iron workers
- Miners
- Plumbers
- Power plant workers
- Roofers
- Shipyard employees
- Steel mill workers
- Welders
If you previously worked in one of these occupations or believe that you were exposed to asbestos in a similar field, you may be eligible to file a case and seek compensation for the damages you have suffered.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.
