Settlements
If asbestos victims prevail in their lawsuits, they receive compensation from companies that knew about and exposed them to dangerous substances. This money is meant to assist the victim's family and friends with financial losses resulting from the asbestos exposure. Compensation can cover pain and suffering.
Asbestos cases tend to settle rather than going to trial because it is easier and cheaper for the defendant company to settle the case this way. Settlements can also avoid the negative publicity that is associated when a jury verdict is handed down.

Mesothelioma lawsuits can be complex and require attorneys to conduct extensive research into the history of their clients' employment as well as medical records, and asbestos exposure. They can help clients identify asbestos-producing firms that could be responsible for the condition. Lawyers can then collect evidence and use it to create a strong mesothelioma lawsuit.
Mesothelioma lawyers may uncover evidence that asbestos companies were negligent during discovery and depositions. The evidence usually comes in the form of internal memos, corporate documents and testimony from former employees who worked with asbestos-containing products. In many instances these documents, it is clear that asbestos producers knew about mesothelioma's risks and other asbestos-related diseases, but did not disclose this information to their employees or the general public.
Many states set time limits also known as statutes or limitations on the time an asbestos victim has to bring a lawsuit. The durations vary by state, but generally vary from one to two years. If the statute of limitation expires before a lawsuit for mesothelioma is filed, the victims will lose their right to compensation.
The amount of money that victims will receive is contingent upon the diagnosis of their asbestos-related disease as well as how serious their condition is, as well as other aspects. Attorneys consider treatment costs and other costs when negotiations to ensure that patients have enough funds for their medical bills. Asbestos sufferers can also file claims using trust funds that were established to compensate those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related ailments.
Certain trusts are exhausted, but others continue to award large amounts of money. In 2018 an appeals court in the U.S. awarded $70,000,000 to the family of an U.S. Navy machinist diagnosed mesothelioma as a result of working with gaskets made by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Asbestos-related victims who go to trial have a greater chance of receiving compensation than those who accept the settlement offer. Trials can resolve issues that aren't resolved through settlement negotiations. For example, there could be differences in the calculation of damages, and the extent to which a person's condition is caused by a particular exposure.
In a court of law, plaintiffs be required to prove that they are entitled to damages including future and past medical expenses, lost wages, damage to property as well as discomfort and pain and loss in consortium. In addition, the defendant must prove that it is responsible for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial process is often lengthy. In the past decade mesothelioma-related jury awards cases have increased dramatically and far exceeded the amount of money awarded to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma lawyer will help patients understand how to proceed in the trial procedure and will explain their legal rights in an open courtroom. A licensed lawyer can assist in identifying potential defendants. Unlike car accident litigation where it is typically easy to identify the individuals involved, asbestos litigation are more complicated. This is especially true if the person has been exposed to asbestos in multiple locations and at different dates. A mesothelioma lawyer with experience can interview witnesses such as co-workers and relatives, abatement workers and suppliers to create a detailed list of companies products, locations and other information.
There is a growing concern that the cost of resolving claims from asbestos victims in the past is draining funds that could be used to pay for future cases. Some claimants are also of the opinion that settlements don't accurately reflect their actual injuries and therefore they deserve more compensation.
Plaintiffs can challenge dismissal of asbestos claims using summary judgment or a finding that there was no exposure. However they must be able to provide an exhaustive review of the evidence and an expert's view that the doses measured of asbestos that plaintiffs received did not cause mesothelioma. While the process may take time, a qualified mesothelioma lawyer can help accelerate the case and make sure that it doesn't become part of the aforementioned long backlog of cases in courts.
