In asbestos cases, defendants usually claim that they were not negligent and that their products are safe. This is in spite of the fact that doctors have known for years that asbestos-containing products have been linked to a myriad of illnesses. Moreover, companies that hid asbestos's dangers to boost profits have been accused of covering up the issue by attempting to suppress claims and by trying to prevent workers from seeking financial compensation for their injuries.
If more than one defendant is found liable for a victim's asbestos-related injuries, a jury or judge may determine how to divide the blame between them in a process known as apportionment. The apportionment does not affect the amount of compensation the plaintiff is entitled to from the defendants.

The money is meant to compensate the victim as well as their family members for financial losses caused by asbestos exposure. Compensation may cover the suffering and pain.
Asbestos cases usually settle rather than go to trial, as it is easier and cheaper for defendants to settle the matter this way. Settlements also can help prevent the negative publicity that can come with a verdict in a trial. It is essential to choose an experienced mesothelioma attorney with experience in obtaining maximum damages for their clients.
Mesothelioma cases are complicated and lawyers must conduct extensive research about the medical records of their clients as well as their work history and asbestos exposure. They can assist clients in identifying asbestos-producing businesses that could be responsible for the condition. Lawyers can then gather evidence and use it to build a strong mesothelioma case.
In the course of pre-trial discovery and depositions, mesothelioma lawyers can uncover evidence of asbestos-related companies negligence. Evidence usually comes in the form internal memos, corporate documents, and testimony of former employees who worked with asbestos-containing materials. In many instances these documents, it is clear that asbestos manufacturers were aware of mesothelioma's risks and other asbestos-related illnesses however, they did not communicate this information to their workers or to the public.
A number of states have imposed a time limit, known as a statute of limitations for the length of time asbestos victims can bring a lawsuit. The length of time varies by state, but they typically range between one and two years. If the statute of limitation expires before a case for mesothelioma is filed the victims will lose their right to compensation.
The amount of compensation victims will receive is based on the severity of their illness and their diagnosis as well as other factors. Attorneys take into account the cost of treatment and other expenses when negotiating to ensure that patients receive enough funds to pay for medical expenses. Asbestos victims may also file claims with trust funds which were created to compensate people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.
Some of these trusts are empty, while some continue to pay substantial awards. In 2018, a federal court awarded $70,000,000 to the family of an U.S. Navy machinist diagnosed mesothelioma as a result of working with gaskets produced by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Trials are a better option for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can resolve issues that aren't easily resolved through settlement negotiations. For example, differences in the calculation of damages, and the extent to which a person's condition is caused by an exposure.
In a court trial, plaintiffs must show that they have the right to damages, such as future and past medical expenses as well as loss of earnings, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. In addition, the defendant has to demonstrate that it is responsible for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial process can be lengthy. In the last 10 years mesothelioma jury awards cases have risen significantly 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 explain their legal rights in a courtroom with an open door. A licensed lawyer can assist in identifying potential defendants. Contrary to litigation involving car accidents where it is typically easy to identify the responsible individuals involved, asbestos litigation can be more complicated. This is especially true when an individual was exposed to more than one kind of asbestos and in multiple locations. An experienced mesothelioma attorney can interview witnesses like coworkers family members, abatement workers, relatives and suppliers to create a comprehensive list of companies as well as their products and locations.
The expense of settling asbestos claims drains funds that could have been used to pay future cases. In addition, some claimants believe that settlements should be based on actual injuries and should be compensated more.
Defendants can fight to dismiss asbestos claims by obtaining summary judgment, or a finding that there was no exposure. However, these motions require a thorough review of the evidence and a professional opinion that the doses of asbestos that the plaintiff was exposed to were insufficient to cause mesothelioma. While the process may take a while, a seasoned mesothelioma lawyer could help to accelerate the process and make sure that it doesn't become part of the aforementioned long backlog of cases in courts.
