Mesothelioma Lawyers & Lawsuits In the USA

Mesothelioma lawyers and judges observed that as class actions evolved, they were no longer the best type of litigation for complex asbestos cases, which often involve exposure to multiple asbestos products. It became apparent that a single plaintiff’s case could not represent other cases.

There are several alternatives to mesothelioma class-action lawsuits. Most mesothelioma lawsuits are individually filed as personal injury claims or wrongful death claims. Compensation may also be available from asbestos trust funds, workers’ compensation, or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Class action lawyers represent the whole group rather than individual clients
Class action members have less control over their case
All claimants split class-action compensation.

In a personal injury lawsuit, a single mesothelioma plaintiff files a lawsuit claiming specific asbestos products caused them to develop cancer. The manufacturers of the products are defendants in the claim.

In a wrongful death lawsuit, surviving family members who lost a loved one to mesothelioma file the claim. The surviving family’s lawsuit claims their loved one’s death is the result of exposure to specific asbestos products.

Most mesothelioma lawsuits are settled out of court, whether they are class actions or individual claims. Settlement negotiations can be more complicated in class-action lawsuits because usually all or most of the plaintiffs must agree to the terms. Be sure to work with an experienced asbestos law firm when you evaluate your legal options for seeking mesothelioma compensation.
