Asbestos lawsuits usually fall under the legal category of product liability law which is founded on state and common laws that permit damages to be sought against producers of products if those products cause injuries. In a product liability lawsuit it is claimed that the injuries were caused by an ineffective design or fabrication, and that the person who was injured wasn't adequately warned about the dangers associated with the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants typically argue 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. Additionally, companies that concealed asbestos's risks to boost profits have been accused of engaging in a cover-up by attempting to suppress claims and also to prevent workers from seeking compensation for their injuries.
If more than one defendant is found to be liable for the victim's asbestos-related injuries the judge or jury could decide how to split the burden of responsibility among them through a process known as allocation. The apportionment process does not alter the amount of money a plaintiff could receive as compensation from the defendants in the case.
Damages

This includes the cost of medical treatments for their condition and the loss of wages due to inability to work. Victims also may receive compensatory and punitive damages.
The lawsuit asserts that the defendant acted negligently, which means that it did not take reasonable steps to ensure that the product was safe for the intended use. The lawsuit further alleges that the defendant knew that asbestos could be dangerous, but failed to inform consumers and workers about the risk.
An asbestos lawsuit can be filed by a victim or the estate of a person who passed away from an asbestos-related condition such as mesothelioma.

Settlements
When asbestos victims win their lawsuits, they are awarded compensation for the companies who exposed them to hazardous substances. The money is intended to help the family members of the victim with the financial burdens resulting from the asbestos exposure. Compensation can also be used to cover the pain and suffering.
Asbestos cases are often settled rather than going to trial, because it is more cost-effective and easier for defendant companies to settle the case in this way. Settlements can also help avoid the negative publicity that is associated with a verdict at trial. It is crucial to find mesothelioma attorneys who have expertise in obtaining the highest amount of damages on behalf of their clients.
Mesothelioma lawsuits are complex and require attorneys to conduct extensive research into their client's past work history, medical records, and asbestos exposure. They can help clients identify asbestos-producing firms that could be responsible for the illness. Lawyers can gather evidence and use it to build a solid mesothelioma lawsuit.
Mesothelioma lawyers may uncover evidence that asbestos companies were negligent in depositions and discovery. 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 documents, they show that asbestos manufacturers knew about the risks of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related ailments, but did not divulge this information to their employees or to the public.
A number of states have imposed a time limit, also known as a statute of limitations, on how long asbestos-related victims can file a lawsuit. The length of time varies by state, but they typically vary between one and two years. If the statute of limitations runs out before a mesothelioma case is filed, the victims lose their rights to be compensated.
The amount of compensation that victims will receive is based on the severity of their illness, their diagnosis and other factors. Attorneys take into account treatment costs and other expenses when negotiations to ensure that patients receive enough funds to pay for medical expenses. Asbestos victims might also be able to file claims through trust funds established for patients diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.
Certain trusts are depleted, but others continue to award significant awards. For instance, 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 the better option for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can also help in resolving problems that cannot be resolved through settlement negotiations, for instance the different methods of calculating damages and whether the victim's condition was caused by exposures specific to the victim.
In a court of law, plaintiffs be required to prove that they are entitled damages, including future and past medical expenses loss of wages, damages to property, pain and discomfort, and loss in consortium. In addition, the defendant must show that it is accountable for the asbestos-related injury. The trial can take a long time. In the last decade mesothelioma-related jury awards cases have increased significantly and far exceeded the amount that is awarded to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma lawyer will help victims understand what to do through the trial process and can explain their rights under the law in a courtroom that is open to the public. An experienced attorney can assist in identifying potential defendants. As opposed to the litigation in car accidents, where it is often easy to determine the responsible individuals involved, asbestos litigation can be more complex. This is particularly true when a person has been exposed to asbestos in multiple locations and at different times. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer is able to interview witnesses, such as coworkers, relatives and asbestos workers, to build a database of employers, products and the locations.
The cost of resolving asbestos claims drains funds that could have been used to pay future cases. Some claimants also believe that settlements are not just based on injuries that actually occurred and deserve more in compensation.
In asbestos cases, defendants can seek to dismiss claims through summary judgment or a conclusion of no exposure. However the motions must be based on an extensive review of evidence and an expert's opinion that the measured doses of asbestos the plaintiff took were insufficient to cause mesothelioma. While the process could take a while, a seasoned mesothelioma attorney can help accelerate the process and ensure that it doesn't become part of the aforementioned long backlog of cases in courts.
