WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The Mesothelioma Victims Center believes the vast majority of diagnosed victims of mesothelioma in the United States get significantly shortchanged due to hiring the wrong type of lawyer.

The Mesothelioma Victims Center is the only group advocating for the best possible compensation for diagnosed victims of mesothelioma and their family. They are also the only group in the nation that is actively trying to educate all victims of this rare form of cancer about how incredibly vital it is to have a specialist mesothelioma lawyer advancing their mesothelioma compensation claim. This is especially true if the diagnosed victim is a Veteran of the US Navy or a former industrial worker.
The Center says, "On a weekly basis we hear from family members of a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma who are trying to find an alternative to the law firm representing them on a mesothelioma compensation claim. What we tell them is that if the diagnosed victim of mesothelioma was exposed to asbestos while serving in the US Navy or in an industrial workplace, these types of compensation claims can be worth over one million dollars. What we also have to tell them is that only a select few attorneys in the nation have the skill and experience to earn compensation claims like that.
"However, if the diagnosed victim or their family decide to go with the less experience law firm, the error could cost them severely. We don't want to happen. This is why we are fighting so hard to educate all diagnosed victims who contact us at 866-714-6466 or http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com on the differences between your local personal injury attorney and the nation's top mesothelioma compensation attorneys.
"As they say, 'measure twice and cut once.'"
