Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average mesothelioma settlement?

Mesothelioma settlements typically range from $1 million to $1.4 million on average. However, amounts vary significantly based on factors like the extent of exposure, the companies responsible, medical costs, and lost wages. Some cases have resulted in settlements exceeding $2 million.

How long do I have to file a mesothelioma lawsuit?

The time limit (statute of limitations) varies by state, ranging from 1 to 6 years from diagnosis. Some states have very short windows - Kentucky and Louisiana only allow 1 year. It's critical to consult with an attorney immediately after diagnosis.

Do I need to go to court?

Most mesothelioma cases settle out of court. Less than 5% of cases go to trial. Experienced mesothelioma attorneys work to secure fair settlements while preparing cases for trial if necessary.

How much does a mesothelioma lawyer cost?

Most mesothelioma lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. The attorney only gets paid if you win your case, typically receiving 25-40% of the settlement or verdict.

Can I file a claim if the company is bankrupt?

Yes. Many companies that used asbestos have established trust funds specifically to compensate victims. There is currently over $30 billion in asbestos trust funds available to mesothelioma victims.
