WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Because of a recent experience we want to talk to the family members of a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma, who wants nothing to do with attorneys, or mesothelioma. Potentially mesothelioma compensation can be in the hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars. We recently spoke to the son of a lifetime residential and commercial construction worker diagnosed with mesothelioma who wanted nothing to do with attorneys, or compensation for this rare form of cancer."
