$250 Million
Awarded to a Single Mesothelioma Victim
A retired
US steel worker was awarded one of the highest verdicts in a Mesothelioma lawsuit. The victim
was 70 years old and had difficulty walking and breathing: the
jury through the verdict sent a message to big corporations.
Some victims may get as much as 10 million dollars and many over 5 million dollars. However results will
vary, our attorneys have collected over one billion for our clients
but some will recieve only a portion of remaining settlement
funds. An award will vary
based on the type of Asbestos product that caused the Mesothelioma
and the availabllity of funds left to the company (many of which
are no longer in business). Although victims with mesothelioma
should receive millions, funds may have already been distributed-
therefore it is important to act as soon as possible to begin
your claim.
$7,400,000 Awarded to Mesothelioma Victim's Family
Our client died at the age of 55 of malignant mesothelioma. He
was exposed to asbestos aboard ships while in the navy and later
at various construction sites while working as an elevator repairman.
A lawsuit was brought against the manufacturers of the asbestos
products he was exposed to and the settlements to our client's
family totaled over $7.4 million.
$3,800,000
Awarded to College Professor Exposed to Asbestos
Our client was a 44-year-old woman diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma,
a rare form of cancer whose only known cause is asbestos exposure.
Most of her adult life, our client has been a college professor
with no apparent exposure to asbestos. However, when she was
young, her father worked in construction and unknowingly brought
home asbestos fibers on his work clothes. She was also exposed
to asbestos when she worked in construction to pay her way through
graduate school in the early 1980s. After her diagnosis with
mesothelioma, she underwent radical surgery to remove part of
her lung. A lawsuit was brought against the manufacturers of
the asbestos products to which she was exposed and the settlements
totaled over $3.8 million.
$3,600,000
Million Awarded to CPA Exposed to Asbestos
A 39-year-old CPA, a husband and the father of a 5-year-old daughter,
was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Although his current job did
not expose him to asbestos, the environment in which he grew
up and his early work history did. First, our client grew up
and played near a plant that was believed to have been dumping
waste into an area in close proximity to a body of water in which
our client played. During high school and college, our client
worked in a processing plant where he believed he was exposed
to spray-on freezer insulation. Additionally, our client was
exposed to asbestos while assisting his father in home repairs
where they used drywall and floor tiles. Based on this, our attorneys
got him an award of $3.6 million.
$4,200,000
Awarded to Malignant Mesothelioma Victim
From the time he was a young boy, our client, the son of a construction
company owner, was involved in many aspects of construction and
was exposed to a number of asbestos containing products (insulation,
dry wall, cement, and plumbing, carpentry, and roofing supplies,
etc). As an adult, he worked various jobs that also exposed him
to asbestos. Our client was 42 years old when he was diagnosed
with mesothelioma. He was awarded $4.2 million.
