New York City Law Firm Launches Redesigned MesotheliomaHelp.net Website

The nationally recognized New York City mesothelioma law firm of Belluck & Fox, LLP, has launched an updated and redesigned website to help people better understand mesothelioma, a devastating cancer caused by asbestos.

One of the Web’s leading sources of information about mesothelioma, the site, http://www.MesotheliomaHelp.net, is a comprehensive resource for people trying to find out more about all aspects of the disease, its cause, diagnosis, treatments and legal options for victims.

“The mesothelioma attorneys at our law firm are committed to helping asbestos cancer victims and their families, and this informational website is just one of the ways we reach out to people who are suffering because of asbestos exposure,” said New York City mesothelioma lawyer Joseph W. Belluck, a founding partner of Belluck & Fox, LLP.

Partner Jordan Fox recently led a Belluck & Fox litigation team that secured two verdicts on behalf of mesothelioma victims in the Supreme Court of New York that, combined, totaled more than $51 million. (Dummitt v. A.W. Chesterton, et al., No. 190196/10 and Konstantin v. 630 Third Avenue Associates, et al., No. 090134).

Belluck says the firm’s revamped website will make it easier for users to access the trove of in-depth information about mesothelioma and asbestos exposure that the site provides.

“This website is an informational hub for people with questions about asbestos and mesothelioma. Not only does it provide extensive information about the cancer, but it also provides links to other resources for mesothelioma patients, including a nationwide directory of doctors, hospitals and support groups for asbestos-related cancer patients,” Belluck said.

The advanced website includes information about these topics and more:

  • Mesothelioma — An in-depth description of what the disease is, what the symptoms are, how it is diagnosed, an overview of treatments, what the prognosis is for patients and answers to questions about whether there is a cure.
  • Asbestos— Details about occupational exposure to asbestos in civilian and military positions and asbestos in the home, as well as information about asbestos removal and asbestosis, a non-cancerous disease caused by asbestos exposure.
  • Treatment — A thorough discussion of the various treatments for mesothelioma, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and non-traditional treatments.
  • Support & Help — Nationwide listings to help mesothelioma patients and their families find treating doctors, hospitals and support groups, as well as information on filing Social Security claims and how to seek legal help.
  • Living With Mesothelioma — Information about quality of life and life expectancy for mesothelioma patients, including details about frequently prescribed mesothelioma drugs. There is also a form to request a free care package that contains a booklet containing questions and answers about mesothelioma, a personal medical journal, a nutrition guide, a chemotherapy treatment record book and a medical dictionary.
  • Legal Options — Details about who is responsible for asbestos-related cancer and who can be sued, information about choosing an attorney and questions to ask your lawyer, and an outline of the stages of a mesothelioma lawsuit.

“One key piece of information that mesothelioma victims need to know is that they and their families could be entitled to compensation for their asbestos-related cancer, even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago,” Belluck said. “We hope our redesigned site will help them get the help the information they need to pursue medical treatment and also to secure the legal help they deserve.”
