WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Every week the Mesothelioma Compensation Center receives phone calls from family members of a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma who passed away before pursuing compensation and this week the group has decided to answer this question for potential individuals in these circumstances. The group says, "Provided the death has occurred within the last twelve months, we will assemble a team of legal experts that travel directly to the victim's family to better assist in the retrieval of compensation, but only for those that reach out for help by contacting us at 866-714-6466 or http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com."

The Mesothelioma Compensation Center says, "If an individual has or had been diagnosed with mesothelioma and passed away before the compensation claim process could begin, we are urging the victim's family to call us immediately at 866-714-6466, provided it has been less than one year since the death. We fear that hundreds of families nationwide incorrectly believe that if their loved one passes away from mesothelioma, the prospects for compensation are gone altogether. This couldn't be further from the truth."

"We also want to speak one-on-one with individuals on the incredible importance of having a legal team that knows what they are doing. We only assemble the nation's most skilled mesothelioma compensation attorneys to fight for victims, as these attorneys have a passion that goes above and beyond simply winning the case. We want to make sure you're taken care of and fully understand every step along the way. This is a service only we provide and can be found at http://MesotheliomaCompensationCenter.Com."
