There are usually several defendants in asbestos cases due to the numerous mining companies that produce asbestos as well as manufacturers of products that contain asbestos.

Additionally, businesses that provided services to mines or manufacturers who used asbestos, or who acted as employers could be held liable for injuries to victims.
Asbestos lawsuits typically fall into the legal category of law governing product liability, which is built on state and common laws that allow damages to be recouped from sellers of products if those products cause injuries. In a suit for product liability it is claimed that the injuries occurred due to the design defect or manufacturing error and that the person who was injured was not adequately warned of the dangers associated with the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants typically assert that they were not negligent and that their products are safe. This is in spite of the fact that doctors have known for a long time that asbestos-containing products can lead to a myriad of illnesses. In addition, companies who concealed asbestos's dangers to boost profits have been accused of attempting to cover up by trying to thwart claims and also to stop workers from seeking compensation for their injuries.
If more than one defendant is found responsible for a victim's asbestos-related injuries the judge or jury could decide on how to divide the blame between them in a process called apportionment. The apportionment doesn't alter the amount of compensation that the plaintiff is entitled to from the defendants.

When asbestos victims win their lawsuits, they receive compensation from companies that knowingly exposed them to dangerous substances.

Asbestos cases are often settled rather than go to trial because it is cheaper and easier for the defendant company to settle the matter this way.

Mesothelioma cases are extremely complex and lawyers must conduct extensive research into their clients' medical records, work history, and asbestos exposure. They can help clients identify companies that could produce asbestos that could be the cause of their illness. Lawyers can gather evidence and use it in the preparation of a strong mesothelioma lawsuit.
During pre-trial discovery and depositions mesothelioma lawyers are able to uncover evidence of asbestos companies' negligence. The evidence usually is found in the form internal memos, asbestos corporate documents, and testimony from former employees who worked with asbestos-containing products. These documents often show that asbestos manufacturers knew about mesothelioma's risks, and other asbestos-related illnesses, but didn't tell their employees or the general public.
A number of states have set a limit, also known as a statute of limitations, on how long asbestos-related victims can sue. The length of time varies by state, but generally vary from one to two years. If the statute of limitations expires before a lawsuit for mesothelioma is filed victims will lose their right to compensation.
The amount victims can receive depends on their asbestos-disease diagnosis, how severe their condition is, 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-related victims may also be able to file claims through trust funds established for those diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestos-related illnesses.
Certain trusts are closed, while others continue to pay out large amounts of money. For instance, in 2018 a federal jury awarded $70 million to the family of a U.S. Navy machinist who developed mesothelioma after working with gaskets manufactured by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Trials are the best option for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can resolve issues that aren't resolvable through settlement negotiations. For example, differences in the calculation of damages and whether the condition of a victim is caused by a particular exposure.
In a court trial, plaintiffs must show that they have the right to damages, such as future and past medical expenses such as loss of wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. In addition, the defendant has to prove that it is responsible for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial can take a long time. In the past decade mesothelioma juries' awards have risen significantly and have significantly exceeded the amount given by judges in settlement cases.
A mesothelioma lawyer can assist victims understand the process of trial and explain their legal rights in a courtroom that is open to the public. A licensed lawyer can assist in identifying potential defendants. Asbestos cases are more complicated than car accident cases where it is often easy to identify the responsible parties. This is particularly true when an individual has been exposed to asbestos in multiple places and at different dates. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer can interview witnesses, such as coworkers, relatives and asbestos workers, to build an inventory of companies, products and places.
There is growing concern that the expense of settling claims from past asbestos victims is draining funds that could be used to pay for future cases. Some claimants believe that settlements do not reflect the actual damage and that they are entitled to a higher amount of compensation.
The defendants can seek to dismiss asbestos claims by obtaining summary judgment, or a finding that there was no exposure. However these motions require an exhaustive review of the evidence and an expert's opinion that the measured doses of asbestos that the plaintiff was exposed to were not sufficient to cause mesothelioma. An attorney for mesothelioma can help accelerate the process and avoid the case from becoming part of the backlog in the courts.
