How large a settlement or judgment can I expect to recover?

The value of your potential claim depends on many things, such as the medical evidence that confirms your diagnosis, how seriously you have been injured, your actual and potential losses, the strength (or weakness) of the identification of the toxic products that you were exposed to, the companies that made these products, and their financial resources (including insurance coverage.)

I'm not sure about suing. Can I take some time to decide?

This depends on the legal deadlines, called statutes of limitations, which might apply to your potential case. These statutes are complex, they depend on the kind of case you are pursuing, and they vary from state to state. It is prudent to contact an attorney as soon as possible because once your statute has expired or "run," you are forever barred from pursuing your claim.

Then you'll know how much time you have to make up your mind about what you want to do.

How do I know if I have an asbestos related disease / mesothelioma?

See your doctor.  Tell your doctor about your history of exposure to asbestos so that he or she knows how to monitor your health and whether or not to order any necessary tests.
