There are usually many defendants in an asbestos case because there are a variety of mining companies that produced asbestos as well as manufacturers of products that contained asbestos. These businesses may also own or have control of asbestos-contaminated properties. Companies that provide services to asbestos-using mines or manufacturers or in the capacity of an employer could be held accountable for the injuries of victims.
Asbestos lawsuits usually fall under the legal category of law governing product liability, which is based on state and common laws that permit damages to be recouped from producers of products if those products cause injury to. In a suit for product liability it is claimed that the injuries resulted from an ineffective design or fabrication, and that the victim was not adequately informed about the risks associated with the products.
Defendants in asbestos cases often argue that they didn't act in a negligent way and that their products are safe, even though doctors have long acknowledged that asbestos-containing products can lead to different diseases. Furthermore, companies that concealed asbestos's dangers to increase profits have been accused of covering up the issue by attempting to suppress claims and attempting to prevent workers from seeking financial compensation for their injuries.
A judge or jury can decide how to distribute the blame between defendants in cases where more than one defendant is identified as being responsible for an asbestos-related injury. This process is referred to as apportionment. The apportionment doesn't affect the amount of compensation the plaintiff can receive from the defendants.
Damages
A lawsuit against a business that produced or sold asbestos can assist victims to recover compensation. This includes the cost for medical treatment and lost wages because of being unable to do their job. Victims may also be eligible for compensatory and punitive damages.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendant acted negligently, meaning it did not take reasonable precautions to ensure the product was safe for its intended use. It is also claimed that the defendant knew that asbestos was dangerous and failed to inform consumers and workers of this risk.
An asbestos lawsuit could be filed by a victim, or the estate of a person who died from an asbestos-related condition such as mesothelioma.

This money is meant to assist the victim and their family in the event of financial losses due to the asbestos exposure. Compensation can cover the cost of suffering and pain.
Asbestos cases tend to settle rather than going to trial, because it is less expensive and easier for defendants to settle the matter this way.

Mesothelioma lawsuits are complex and require lawyers to conduct extensive research into their client's past work history, medical records and asbestos exposure.

During pre-trial discovery and depositions mesothelioma lawyers are able to uncover evidence of asbestos-related companies negligence. Evidence typically is found in internal memos, corporate documents, and testimony of former employees who have worked with asbestos-containing materials. In many instances the documents prove that asbestos manufacturers knew about mesothelioma's risks and other asbestos-related ailments, but didn't disclose this information to their employees or to the public.
A number of states have time limits, called statutes of limitations on the time an asbestos victim can start a lawsuit. These deadlines vary between states, but typically range between one and two years. If the statute of limitation expires before a suit for mesothelioma is filed, victims will lose the right to compensation.
The amount of money victims are entitled to is determined by the severity of their illness the diagnosis, as well as other factors. Attorneys look at treatment costs as well as other expenses in negotiations to ensure that patients have enough money to pay their medical expenses. Asbestos victims can also file claims with trust funds that were established to pay compensation to those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, or other asbestos-related diseases.
Some of these trusts are depleted, but others continue to pay out large amounts of money. For example, in 2018 an appeals court in the United States awarded $70 million to the family of an U.S. Navy machinist who was diagnosed with mesothelioma while working with gaskets made by John Crane Inc.

Trials are a better option for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can also help settle issues that cannot be resolved through settlement negotiations, like the different methods of calculating damages and if the victim's condition resulted from specific exposures.
In a court of law, plaintiffs have to prove that they are entitled to damages including future and past medical costs, lost wages, damage to property or property, pain and discomfort and loss of consortium. The defendant must also prove its liability for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial process is typically long. In the last 10 years, jury awards in mesothelioma cases have risen significantly, and are far more than the amount that is awarded to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma lawyer can help victims understand how to proceed through the trial process and can explain their rights under the law in an open courtroom. A lawyer with experience can also assist in identifying potential defendants. Unlike car accident litigation which is usually easy to determine the responsible parties involved, asbestos cases are more complicated. This is especially true if someone was exposed more than one type of asbestos in various locations. An experienced mesothelioma attorney is able to interview witnesses, such as coworkers, relatives, abatement workers and suppliers to create an exhaustive list of companies as well as the locations of their products and.
The expense of settling asbestos claims eats away funds which could have been used to fund future cases. Furthermore, some claimants believe that settlements should be based on actual injuries and therefore deserve more compensation.
Defendants in asbestos cases can argue for dismissal of claims by summary judgment or a determination of no exposure. These motions are, however, subject to an extensive examination of evidence as well as an expert's opinion that the asbestos doses that were measured by the plaintiff were not enough to cause mesothelioma. An attorney for mesothelioma can help speed up the process and prevent the case from becoming part of the backlog in the courts.
