To win a mesothelioma or asbestos claim, evidence is everything. Because exposure may have occurred decades ago, proving how and where it happened requires meticulous investigation and documentation.
Medical Evidence
First and foremost, you’ll need medical documentation confirming your diagnosis of mesothelioma. This includes pathology reports, imaging results, and statements from your doctors verifying that your illness is linked to asbestos exposure.
Work and Exposure History
Your attorney will help collect employment or service records that show where and when you were exposed. This might include old job records, pay stubs, union documents, or military service records. These materials establish a timeline connecting your illness to specific locations or products.
Witness Testimony
Coworkers, supervisors, or family members who remember your exposure can provide valuable testimony. Their statements help confirm that asbestos-containing materials were present in your workplace or home environment.
Corporate and Product Records
Law firms experienced in asbestos cases often have access to extensive databases of companies and products known to contain asbestos. These records can connect your exposure to a specific manufacturer or contractor.
