Asbestos Litigation
A significant amount of asbestos litigation has been handled by courts across the country. Research has proved that exposure to asbestos can cause lung damage as well as disease.
It is important for an attorney to understand how to recognize asbestos-related products in each case. This can be accomplished by talking to co-workers, getting records, or analyzing samples from homes or asbestos workplaces.
Liability
You may be entitled to compensation if you or someone you know is diagnosed with a health condition that is linked to asbestos. Compensation can be used to pay for lost wages, medical costs and other costs associated with mesothelioma. You can make a claim for compensation or an offer to settle the case with the defendants in the case.
In asbestos cases, there are typically multiple defendants because there are numerous mining companies that manufacture asbestos and also manufacture products that contain asbestos. These businesses may also own or have control of asbestos-contaminated properties. Businesses that provided services to asbestos-using mines or manufacturers or who acted as employers could be held accountable for the injuries sustained by victims.
Asbestos lawsuits typically fall into the legal category of product liability law which is based on state and common laws that allow damages to be recovered against producers of products if those products cause injuries. In a lawsuit involving product liability it is claimed that injuries occurred due to an ineffective design or fabrication, and that the person injured wasn't adequately warned about the risks associated with the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants often argue that they did not behave negligently and that their products are safe, even though doctors have long acknowledged that asbestos-containing products can cause various diseases. Companies that concealed asbestos risks to increase profits were accused of cover-up, and they attempted to thwart claims and stop workers from seeking financial compensation for injuries they sustained.
If more than one defendant is found responsible for the asbestos-related injuries sustained by a victim the judge or jury can decide how to divide the responsibility among them in a process called apportionment. The apportionment does not alter the amount of compensation that the plaintiff may receive from the defendants.
Damages
A lawsuit brought against a firm that manufactured or sold asbestos products can help victims obtain compensation for the losses they suffered. This includes the cost for medical treatment and lost wages because of being unable to perform their job. Victims may also receive punitive and compensatory damages.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendant was negligent, meaning that it didn't take reasonable steps to ensure that the product was safe for its intended use. The lawsuit also alleges that the defendant knew that asbestos could be dangerous and failed in educating consumers and workers about the dangers.
The estates or victims of those who have passed away from asbestos-related illnesses like mesothelioma are able to file an asbestos lawsuit. A person can start a personal injury suit to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including emotional suffering and suffering, loss of enjoyment life and suffering and pain. Additionally, the surviving family members of a person who died due to an asbestos-related illness may bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
After an asbestos case is filed, both sides share information in a process known as discovery. This process can take several months and may involve interviews with family members, coworkers, members, abatement workers, and others to identify potential defendants.

Settlements
If asbestos victims prevail in their lawsuits, they are awarded compensation from the companies who knowingly exposed them to dangerous substances. The money is intended to compensate the victim and his or her family for financial losses caused by asbestos exposure. Compensation can also be used to cover the cost of suffering and pain.
Asbestos cases usually settle instead of going to trial because it is more cost-effective and easier for defendants to settle the matter in this manner. Settlements also can help prevent the negative publicity that can come with a verdict in a trial. It is important to hire a mesothelioma lawyer who has expertise in obtaining the highest amount of damages for their clients.
Mesothelioma cases are extremely complex and lawyers must conduct extensive research on their client's medical records, work history, and asbestos exposure. They can assist clients in identifying companies that could produce asbestos that could be the cause of their illness. Lawyers can then gather evidence to use in a strong mesothelioma case.
Mesothelioma lawyers may uncover evidence that asbestos companies were negligent during discovery and depositions. Evidence typically is found in internal memos, corporate documentation and testimony of former employees who have worked with asbestos-containing material. These documents often reveal that asbestos manufacturers knew about mesothelioma's risks, and other asbestos claim-related illnesses but did not inform their employees or the general public.
A number of states have set a time limitation, also known as a statute of limitations for how long asbestos victims can bring a lawsuit. The time frames vary from state to state but typically range between one and two years. If the statute of limitation expires before a suit for mesothelioma can be filed, victims will lose their right to receive compensation.
The amount of compensation victims are entitled to is determined by the severity of their condition as well as their diagnosis and other factors. Attorneys consider treatment costs and other expenses during negotiations to ensure patients have enough funds to pay their medical expenses. Asbestos sufferers can also file claims with trust funds that were set up to pay compensation to those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos law-related diseases.
Some of these trusts have been wiped out, but others continue paying out substantial awards. For example, in 2018, a federal jury awarded $70 million to the family of the family of a U.S. Navy machinist who contracted mesothelioma from working with gaskets made by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Trials are an option that is better for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can also help in resolving issues that cannot be resolved through settlement negotiations, including differences in how to calculate damages and whether the condition was caused by a specific exposure.
In a court trial the plaintiffs have to prove that they have the right to damages, including future and past medical expenses as well as loss of wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. The defendant must also prove their responsibility for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial process is typically lengthy. Over the past 10 years, jury awards in mesothelioma cases have increased dramatically and far exceeded the amount given to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma lawyer can help victims understand what to do in the court process and can explain their legal rights in an open courtroom. A lawyer with experience can also help to identify potential defendants. As opposed to the litigation in car accidents where it's usually easy to identify the parties, asbestos cases can be more complex. This is especially true when the victim was exposed to more than one kind of asbestos and in multiple places. An experienced mesothelioma attorney is able to interview witnesses like coworkers family members, abatement workers, relatives and suppliers to compile an extensive list of companies products, locations and other information.
The expense of settling asbestos claims eats up funds that could have been used to pay future cases. Some claimants believe that settlements do not reflect actual injuries and they are entitled to a higher amount of compensation.
Defendants in asbestos cases can fight to have claims dismissed by summary judgment or a determination of no exposure. These motions require a thorough examination of the evidence and an expert's opinion on whether the asbestos doses that were measured by the plaintiff were not sufficient to cause mesothelioma. While the process can be lengthy, a knowledgeable mesothelioma lawyer could help to accelerate the case and ensure that it doesn't become part of the long backlog of cases in courts.
