Despite decades of warnings from health experts and countless lives lost, lawsuits against asbestos companies didn’t begin until the 1960s. But when the first dominos began to fall, the momentum was unstoppable. Many asbestos manufacturing companies have declared bankruptcy over the years. Luckily, their victims may still be protected. Many of these companies established mesothelioma trust funds to help cover future claims of patients who were diagnosed after asbestos exposure. Considering it can take decades for the cancer to develop after being exposed to asbestos, these funds play a critical role in ensuring mesothelioma victims receive the compensation they deserve.
There are dozens of mesothelioma funds in the United States that contain billions in potential settlement money for mesothelioma victims. Generally, anyone who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after asbestos exposure is eligible to file a claim.
To date, the largest mesothelioma/asbestos verdict recorded is $250 million, awarded in 2003 to a man who worked for U.S. Steel for 30 years. The amount was later settled for $50 million. Currently, the average mesothelioma lawsuit settlement is between $1 million and $1.5 million. The average jury award for mesothelioma lawsuits is $2.14 million, according to Mealey’s Litigation Report.
Despite numerous settlements, mesothelioma litigation is ongoing and law firms continue to take on clients seeking justice.
