What You Need to Know About Mesothelioma Law Firms & Mesothelioma Attorneys
A mesothelioma law firm, or a law firm that specializes in asbestos cases, files claims on behalf of those suffering from diseases triggered by asbestos, which includes mesothelioma. These firms develop a deep understanding of the nitty-gritty details involved in bringing justice to the victims and families impacted by these devastating diseases.
“Torts,” as they’re known, or, more commonly, “civil actions,” are part of an extremely complex area of the law. This is the area where asbestos litigation falls. All U.S. states have their own unique statutes, and these statues can vary on things like burden-of-proof, meaning one state’s requirements could be different – or even more demanding – than another’s.
That’s why it’s best to work with an experienced lawyer. Firms like Sokolove Law have for years prioritized keeping up with the latest mesothelioma research and asbestos-related legal developments. Sokolove Law maintains massive databases containing information related to virtually every aspect of the asbestos industry.
Frequently Asked Questions for Mesothelioma Law Firms & Mesothelioma Attorneys
Whenever you’re considering legal action, it’s vital that you interview a potential law firm and check their past experience in mesothelioma claims, settlements and specialized legal experience.
Here are some questions you might ask if you were looking to partner with a mesothelioma law firm:
– How many years of experience does your mesothelioma law firm have?
– Will you take my case on a contingency basis?
– What are the typical outcomes of your mesothelioma cases? Out-of-court settlement? Win? Loss? Appeal?
– Will I be able to speak with members of your law firm as needed? Will my calls be returned promptly and your questions answered clearly?
– How many mesothelioma (not just asbestos) cases or claims has your law firm handled?
– Will my case be handled on an individual basis, or “bundled” with several other similar cases? (This may hurt you if your case is a strong one, but could be helpful with “weaker” cases.)
– Does your mesothelioma law firm have a nationwide network of attorneys and lawyers who will share their research and expertise in order to build a solid case on my behalf?
– Will your law firm be handling my case personally? (At times law firms may refer your case to another firm that may be better suited to help in your situation — often providing you with the services of both their firm and another at no extra cost to you.)
Remember, it’s in your best interest to be comfortable with the mesothelioma law firm and attorneys that handle your case.

Sebagai negara yang berada di lingkaran cincin api, Indonesia sering sekali diguncang bencana, entah itu gempa, longsor, hingga tsunami. Dari setiap bahaya yang mengancam nyawa tersebut, ada saja keajaiban yang Tuhan tunjukkan kepada kita. Contohnya, masjid Baiturrahman Aceh yang kokoh meski ribuan manusia meninggal dihantam tsunami 2004. Atau masjid terapung di pinggir pantai Palu yang masih tersisa.
Kisah kali ini juga tak kalah menakjubkan. Saat ribuan orang berjuang menyelamatkan diri dari hantaman air laut yang tiba-tiba menerjang Selat Sunda, Sabtu (22/12) lalu, para santri rombongan dari SMA Islam Nurul Fikri Boarding School (NFBS) Serang Banten malah selamat dari maut. Sebanyak 65 orang, 30 perempuan dan 35 laki-laki ini berada dalam lindungan Yang Maha Kuasa.
Melansir dari berbagai sumber, para santri dari SMA Islam Nurul Fikri atau dikenal sebagai Pesantren Ibnu Salam ini sedang menjalani karantina (sebelum berangkat ke Turki) di Resort Umbul Tanjung Kabupaten Serang, Banten, yang posisinya di pinggir pantai.
Salah satu guru merek, Ai Nuraeni menceritakan apa yang terjadi pada mereka di malam terjadinya bencana tersebut. Sore harinya, santri perempuan sempat melihat adanya asap hitam yang keluar dari anak Krakatau dari Vila lantai 2. Meski khawatir mereka memilih tetap melanjutkan aktivitas seperti biasanya. Setelahnya, santri laki-laki mendengar suara gemuruh diikuti dengan air yang naik. Merasa panik, merekaberlari katakutan dan memberitahukan kepada para Pembina. Para guru mendapat kabar bahwa pengelola pantai menghubungi Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG) untuk menanyakan apa yang terjadi. Ternyata, menurut BMKG saat itu hanya air pasang biasa. Mereka pun merasa sedikit tenang, seperti dilansir dari republika.com.
Merasa masih khawatir semua santri dikerahkan ke mushola dengan berpakaian lengkap. Mereka bersama-sama mendengungkan ayat suci Al-quran, berdzikir, dan beberapa melakukan salat taubat. Suara riuh bacaan ayat suci berlomba dengan air dan gemuruh anak Krakatau.
Tak lama, pengelola villa mengatakan bahwa masyarakat sekitar sudah diinstruksikan untuk mengungsi. Hal tersebut didengar oleh para guru. Mereka kemudian memutuskan meninjau keadaan untuk kemudian memutuskan perlu atau tidaknya mengungsi. Alangkah terkejutnya saat dua orang ustaz yang keluar dan melihat kondisi sekitar mereka sudah hancur dan porak poranda, jalan-jalan sudah rusak, bahkan jembatan yang biasa dilalui kendaraan tak lagi berfungsi.
Rombongan santri ini kemudian memutuskan mengungsi di daerah Cipanas. Tak lama setelahnya mereka dijemput oleh pihak pesantren untuk dibawa kembali menuju pondok. Perjalanan ini pun ditempuh denganmelewati jalur alternative, melewati hutan dan kurang lebih tiga jam sampai ke pesantren.
Hingga sekarang para santri sudah kembali ke pesantren dan melanjutkan proses karantina menghapal Al-quran mereka. Salah satu guru SMA Islam NFBS, Andriono, mengatakan bahwa proses ini akan berakhir pada 18 Januari 2019, sebelum mereka nantinya diberangkatkan ke Turki pada 23 Januari. Maha suci Allah yang sudah menyelamatkan mereka yang benar-benar berniat menjaga kalam-Nya. Di dunia saja mereka sudah dimuliakan, apalagi di akhirat nanti.
