Asbestos lawsuits often fall under the legal category of product liability law which is built on state and common laws that permit damages to be recouped from manufacturers of products if the products cause injury to. In a suit for product liability it is claimed that injuries occurred due to faulty design or mismanufacture and that the victim wasn't adequately warned about the risks associated with the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants typically argue that they did not act in a negligent way and that their products are safe, even though doctors have long recognized that asbestos-containing products can lead to various diseases. Companies that hid asbestos dangers to increase profits were accused of a cover-up. They tried to deny claims and block workers from seeking an amount of compensation for their injuries.

The apportionment process does not affect the total amount that a plaintiff may receive as compensation from the defendants in the case.
Damages

Settlements
If asbestos victims prevail in their lawsuits, they receive compensation from the companies who knowingly exposed them to hazardous substances. The money is intended to help the victim's family and friends with financial losses resulting from the asbestos exposure. Compensation can also be used to cover pain and suffering.
Asbestos lawsuits are often settled rather than going to trial. This is because it's easier and cheaper for the defendant companies to settle the case in this manner. Settlements also help avoid negative publicity that comes with a trial verdict. It is crucial to select an experienced mesothelioma lawyer that has experience obtaining maximum damages for their clients.
Mesothelioma lawsuits are complicated and require attorneys to conduct extensive research on their client's employment history, medical records and asbestos law exposure. They can help clients identify asbestos-producing companies who may be the cause of the disease. The lawyers can then collect evidence and use it in an effective mesothelioma case.
Mesothelioma lawyers may uncover evidence that asbestos companies were negligent during depositions and discovery. The evidence typically comes in the form internal memos, corporate documents, and testimony from former employees who worked with asbestos-containing substances. In many cases, these documents show that asbestos producers knew about the dangers of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related ailments, however, they did not communicate this information to their workers or the public.
Many states set time limitations which are known as statutes of limitation that define how long an asbestos victim can bring a lawsuit. These time periods vary by state, but they typically range from one to two years. If the statute of limitations expires before a mesothelioma case is filed, the victims lose their rights to be compensated.
The amount of compensation victims can receive is based on the severity of their illness as well as their diagnosis and other factors. Attorneys look at treatment costs and other costs when they negotiate to ensure patients have enough funds to pay their medical bills. Asbestos-related victims can also file claims using trust funds that were established to compensate those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos claim-related diseases.
Certain trusts are exhausted, but others continue to pay out huge amounts of money. For example, in 2018, a federal jury awarded $70 million to the family of the family of a U.S. Navy machinist who developed mesothelioma after working with gaskets produced by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Asbestos victims who go to trial have a better chance of receiving compensation than those who accept the settlement offer. Trials can also help settle issues that cannot be resolved through settlement negotiations, like the different methods of calculating damages and whether the patient's condition resulted from specific exposures.
In a court of law, plaintiffs need to prove they have a right to damages, including future and past medical costs and lost wages, damages to property as well as pain and discomfort and loss in consortium. The defendant must also prove its liability for the asbestos-related injury. The process of trial can be lengthy. In the last 10 years mesothelioma cases, jury awards have increased dramatically and significantly exceeded the amount given by judges in settlement cases.
A mesothelioma lawyer will help victims understand what to do through the trial process and can explain their legal rights in a public courtroom. A lawyer with experience can also assist in identifying potential defendants. Asbestos cases are more complex than car accident litigation, where it is often easy to identify the parties responsible. This is particularly true when the victim was exposed to more than one type of asbestos and in multiple places. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer is able to interview witnesses, such as coworkers, relatives and abatement workers, to create a database of the companies, products and locations.
There is growing concern that the expense of settling claims of asbestos victims who have been in the past can drain funds that could be used to pay for future cases. Some claimants believe that settlements do not accurately reflect their actual injuries and therefore they are entitled to a higher amount of compensation.
Defendants can fight to dismiss asbestos claims by obtaining the process of summary judgment, or by finding that there was not an exposure. However these motions require an exhaustive review of the evidence and a professional opinion that the doses measured of asbestos that the plaintiff was exposed to were not enough to cause mesothelioma. While the process can take time, a qualified mesothelioma lawyer can assist to speed up the process and make sure that it doesn't become part of the long backlog of cases in the courts.
