Question: Can I sue for Asbestos exposure?
In short, yes. On this page, we’ll dive deeper into that question, discuss an overview of Mesothelioma Lawsuits, explain what you’ll need to prove in these asbestos exposure lawsuits, cover average mesothelioma lawsuit settlements, and much more.
Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause many medical complications, the most serious being mesothelioma.
People exposed to asbestos can develop this incurable, life-threatening cancer that involves significant, costly medical care to manage.
Fortunately, mesothelioma victims may be eligible to receive compensation through a Mesothelioma Lawsuit.
When it comes to suing for an asbestos-related illness, the primary concerns are proving that asbestos exposure occurred and that you developed mesothelioma because of it.
You’ll need an experienced Mesothelioma Attorney from one of the top Mesothelioma law firms in the nation to help you prove these facts and expose the responsible party’s negligence or liability.
If you or a loved one was exposed to asbestos and subsequently diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be eligible to file a Mesothelioma Lawsuit or Mesothelioma claims to the Asbestos Trust Funds.

According to the National Cancer Institute, malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer of the mesothelium, which is the thin tissue surrounding internal organs, such as the lungs, chest wall, heart, and abdomen.
More commonly known as mesothelioma, this cancer can take decades to develop after heavy or prolonged asbestos exposure.
There are four types of mesothelioma depending on the location of the cancer:
Depending on the type, mesothelioma victims can suffer from difficulty breathing, chest pain, nausea, abdominal pain, coughing up blood, unusual lumps under the skin, sudden weight loss, and other symptoms.
Here are some critical facts and information about this asbestos-related disease that you should know:
This alarming data further confirms the staggering, lethal effects of asbestos exposure, whether direct or indirect.
Asbestos is a natural mineral that is incredibly resistant to heat and fire.
It was used for building materials, insulation, fireproof clothing, automobile brakes and clutches, shipbuilding materials, roofing shingles, and other asbestos products — until the public discovered the health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
When inhaled or swallowed, asbestos fibers can lodge themselves in the lungs and cause medical issues, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases.
People can get exposed to asbestos because of asbestos-containing products, but workplace asbestos exposure is the most common cause.
The following workers in asbestos companies and industries are more likely to develop asbestos-related illnesses:
While these people have a significantly higher risk of asbestos exposure, they can also carry asbestos fibers on their clothes, which they can take home to their families and communities.
Those diagnosed with mesothelioma may file a Mesothelioma Lawsuit to seek financial compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and other economic and non-economic damages.
They may also have access to asbestos trust funds which asbestos companies created to pay for mesothelioma expenses.
For a successful Asbestos Lawsuit, you must prove that your mesothelioma is directly connected to asbestos exposure.
You must provide evidence of asbestos exposure history, medical reports, financial records, and other documents to prove your mesothelioma case.
Those who are eligible to file a Mesothelioma Lawsuit include the following:
A mesothelioma patient may file a mesothelioma personal injury lawsuit to recover financial compensation from the asbestos companies or people responsible for their asbestos exposure.
They may also file a claim to asbestos trust fund claims. However, the legal process for mesothelioma claims is complex, and they will need the help of their family members and experienced mesothelioma lawyers to protect their rights.
Family members may also file a mesothelioma cancer lawsuit on behalf of their loved one.
Their mesothelioma claim focuses on the mesothelioma patient’s inability to provide for their family and on the damages they received, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, decrease in quality of life, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Spouses may also file a lawsuit based on loss of consortium, which is the loss of companionship in a relationship.
The surviving family members of a deceased mesothelioma victim may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
This mesothelioma claim centers around the financial losses and damages due to losing a loved one, such as funeral expenses, lost wages, and other economic losses.
Wrongful death lawsuits can help prove the negligence of an asbestos company and provide financial support for the family.
In the past, asbestos cases piled up because of new, numerous asbestos victims filing a mesothelioma lawsuit.
The asbestos lawsuits were compiled into class action lawsuits for asbestos litigation to be more efficient.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) was another legal approach to managing pending asbestos cases.
However, class action lawsuits were not the best option for asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits.
In 1993, the Center for Claims Resolution (CCR), comprising 20 asbestos manufacturers, set a $1 billion fund for 100,000 future mesothelioma lawsuit settlements.
While they claimed to have mesothelioma victims’ best interest, the fund limited financial compensation and eligibility.
The Supreme Court also ruled against the CCR’s proposed mesothelioma settlements in 1997, stating that a global settlement would not be feasible for mesothelioma victims with various circumstances and interests too different to fall under one mesothelioma lawsuit.
Since then, court systems have managed asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits individually.
Fortunately, this course of action is more favorable as individual mesothelioma lawsuits allow asbestos victims to seek full and fair financial compensation.
Mesothelioma lawsuit compensation varies on the specifics of the case.
This includes factors such as:
While each mesothelioma case is unique, the average mesothelioma settlement can range from $1 million to $1.5 million.
These estimations are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for your mesothelioma lawsuit. They are projections based on previous mesothelioma lawsuit settlements.
Contact a mesothelioma lawyer from TorHoerman Law for more information on mesothelioma settlements.
Having an expert mesothelioma lawyer from an experienced mesothelioma law firm is crucial to ensure a successful mesothelioma lawsuit.
When choosing between asbestos lawyers and mesothelioma law firms, look for the following:
Mesothelioma victims must find the best asbestos attorneys who will ensure they receive a fair asbestos settlement so they can focus on their health and family.
Once you have found the right asbestos lawyer, they will help you navigate the mesothelioma lawsuit process.
Here’s an overview of the mesothelioma lawsuit timeline:
Mesothelioma lawsuits and processes are complex and lengthy, but an expert asbestos lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and prioritize your health needs.
Before you begin the process of your mesothelioma lawsuit, you should mitigate your injuries by removing yourself from any potential asbestos exposure areas, seeking proper medical treatment, and following your doctor’s orders.
The first step to filing a mesothelioma lawsuit is hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent you as your mesothelioma lawyer.
After you have found a mesothelioma lawyer, you should familiarize yourself with the steps of a civil lawsuit, so that you understand the timeline and process of a mesothelioma lawsuit.
Your mesothelioma attorneys will help you to gather evidence to prove asbestos exposure occurred and to support your mesothelioma lawsuit claim.
Mesothelioma patients often have lengthy medical documentation that details the extent of their illness.
These documents are crucial for your mesothelioma lawyer to consider as evidence.
Evidence for Mesothelioma cases may include, but is not limited to:
This evidence will help to prove your damages – in many mesothelioma lawsuits, the plaintiff will demand both compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Your mesothelioma lawyer will determine liability – the party or parties are at fault for your asbestos exposure and subsequent injuries.
After gathering evidence, establishing liability, and outlining damages, your mesothelioma will seek compensation through a mesothelioma lawsuit settlement or verdict.
Damages refer to the total cost of an incident, accounting for both economic and non-economic losses of an individual or estate.
If you are wanting to file a mesothelioma lawsuit, a lawyer can help you determine your damages.
Damages in mesothelioma or asbestos lawsuits may include:
Contact an attorney who specializes in asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits to learn more about your options.
Law firms across the country offer free consultations and will file a lawsuit with no up-front payment necessary.
Our Mesothelioma Lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means that our experienced mesothelioma lawyers do NOT charge for legal representation unless you win financial compensation in your case.
Another source of compensation for asbestos exposure is the asbestos trust fund. Asbestos trust funds are set up by bankrupt asbestos companies.
A mesothelioma lawyer can submit a claim against an asbestos trust fund, which contains funds to pay out set amounts to individuals who were exposed to asbestos and developed mesothelioma or other injuries.
Asbestos trust funds originated in the 1970s, when it became clear that asbestos was the primary cause of mesothelioma.
Many of the companies that produced or sold products containing asbestos began going bankrupt because of the mesothelioma lawsuits filed against them that were eventually settled.
The money allocated to the trust allows for all current and future asbestos claims to be paid out to those injured.
In short, the trusts compensate workers injured by negligent companies that sold or manufactured products containing asbestos.
Mesothelioma victims need an experienced mesothelioma lawyer to fight for their legal rights.
