Mesothelioma Settlements & Verdicts
While the average mesothelioma trial award is significantly
higher than the average mesothelioma settlement, most lawsuits are settled out
of court. A lawyer trained in asbestos litigation can help you decide the best
option.
Most mesothelioma settlements begin as lawsuits. History shows an
overwhelming majority of cases end in a settlement before reaching the
courtroom.
Some cases go to trial, where a judge or jury can make a verdict that
awards significant compensatory and punitive damages. However, trials may take
a long time to conclude

Settlement and verdict
amounts may depend on:
·
A claimant’s diagnosis and medical history
·
The number of companies sued
·
Where the claim is filed
·
Proof of negligence
·
Lost wages, medical bills and other expenses
Compensation is linked to the strength of the case.
This brings into play the plaintiff’s specific diagnosis, their health
condition, and the degree of perceived liability on the part of one or more
defendants.
According to a recent Mealey’s Litigation Report, the average mesothelioma
trial award is estimated at $2.4 million. The average mesothelioma settlement
is between $1 million and $1.4 million and typically paid by multiple
defendants. However, every case is unique.
An experienced mesothelioma attorney can build your case
and negotiate settlements on your behalf. They can also help you understand the
statute of limitations for the state where you file a claim.
Do You Settle or Seek a Verdict?
While a jury verdict may result in a larger
award, there is no guarantee the jury will side with you. Juries can be
surprising, and many attorneys can attest there are no sure bets in a trial.
While the amount awarded in an asbestos lawsuit settlement
may be smaller than what might be expected in a trial verdict, at least
compensation is guaranteed.
The decision to settle or go after a
verdict is best made with the advice of an experienced mesothelioma attorney.
These lawyers understand the nature of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related
diseases.
Ultimately, it will be up to you to accept
or decline a settlement offer. There is no magic formula to decide whether to
reject an offer and take the case to trial. The issue becomes whether you are
ready to end the case by accepting the offer. Only you or your family can
answer that question

Without your guidance, my father would probably have not gotten
as far as he did and would have passed not knowing how my mother would be taken
care of. Fortunately, he was told about the settlements before his passing and
he knew she was going to be OK financially.Starr Gaworski – WA
