There are typically multiple defendants in an asbestos case because there are many mining companies that produce asbestos and the manufacturers of products that contained asbestos. These businesses may also own or have control of asbestos-contaminated properties. Companies that offered services to asbestos-using mines or manufacturers or acted in the capacity of an employer could be held accountable for the injuries sustained by victims.
Asbestos-related lawsuits are often categorized under the legal category of product liability law, which is founded on state and common laws that permit damages to be recouped from manufacturers of products if the products cause injuries. Specifically, in a product liability lawsuit, it is claimed that the injuries were caused due to a flawed or a defective design, and the person who suffered injury was not adequately warned of the dangers that could result from using the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants typically argue that they did not behave negligently and that their products are safe, even though doctors have long acknowledged that asbestos-containing products is linked to various diseases. Moreover, companies that hid asbestos's dangers to boost profits have been accused of covering up the issue in attempting to block claims and by trying 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, a jury or judge could decide how to split the blame between the defendants in a process referred to as the apportionment. The apportionment of liability will not affect the total amount of money that the plaintiff may receive as compensation from the defendants in the case.

Settlements
When victims win their asbestos lawsuits, they are awarded compensation from companies that knew about and exposed them to dangerous substances.

Asbestos cases are often settled rather than going to trial, as it is cheaper and easier for the defendant company to settle the matter in this manner. Settlements also reduce the negative publicity that may come with a verdict at trial. It is essential to choose an experienced mesothelioma attorney which has the experience of obtaining maximum damages for their clients.
Mesothelioma lawsuits can be complex and require lawyers to conduct extensive research into their client's employment history as well as medical records and asbestos exposure. They can assist clients in identifying asbestos-producing companies who may be responsible for the illness. Lawyers can then gather evidence and use it to create a strong mesothelioma lawsuit.
Mesothelioma lawyers can uncover evidence that asbestos lawyer companies were negligent during discovery and depositions. The evidence typically is found in the form internal memos, corporate documents, and testimony from former employees who worked with asbestos-containing products. These documents often reveal that asbestos manufacturers knew about the dangers of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases but did not inform their workers or the general public.
Many states set time limits also known as statutes or limitations, on how long an asbestos victim has to bring a lawsuit. These time periods vary between states, but are typically between one and two years. If the statute of limitations runs out before a mesothelioma case is filed, the victims lose their right to compensation.
The amount victims receive will depend on the diagnosis of their asbestos-related disease and how severe their condition is, as well as other aspects. Attorneys consider treatment costs and other costs when negotiating to ensure that patients receive enough funds to pay for medical expenses. Asbestos victims may also file claims using trust funds that were set up to pay compensation to those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or any other asbestos-related diseases.
Certain trusts have dwindled, however others continue to pay out large payouts. In 2018 the federal court gave $70 million to the relatives of an U.S. Navy machinist diagnosed mesothelioma as a result of working with gaskets manufactured by John Crane Inc.
Trials
Trials are the better option for asbestos victims than settlement offers. Trials can also help to resolve issues that are not resolved through settlement negotiations, such as the different methods of calculating damages and whether the patient's condition was caused by exposures specific to the victim.
In a court trial the plaintiffs have to prove that they have the right to damages, such as past and future medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. The defendant must also prove its responsibility for the asbestos-related injury. The trial process is often lengthy. In the last 10 years mesothelioma-related jury awards cases have risen significantly and have far outstripped the amount of money awarded to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma attorney can help victims understand the trial process, and can explain their legal rights in an open courtroom. A qualified attorney can also help to identify potential defendants. Asbestos litigation can be more complex than litigation involving car accidents, where it is typically easy to identify responsible parties. This is especially true when someone was exposed more than one kind of asbestos in multiple places. A mesothelioma lawyer with experience can interview witnesses like coworkers or relatives, abatement workers and suppliers to compile a detailed database of the companies products, locations and other information.
The cost of resolving asbestos claims eats away funds that could have been used to pay future cases. Some claimants also think that settlements aren't just based on injuries that actually occurred and they deserve more compensation.
Defense attorneys can argue to dismiss asbestos claims using summary judgment or a finding that there was not an exposure. These motions require an exhaustive examination of the evidence and an expert's opinion on whether the asbestos doses that were measured by the plaintiff were not sufficient to cause mesothelioma. While the process may be lengthy, a knowledgeable mesothelioma lawyer could help to accelerate the case and ensure that it does not be added to the long backlog of cases in courts.
