What Our Clients Are Saying "With all the loss of my quality of life, due to my problems from asbestos, the awards from your efforts make life so much better. And it’s providing a nest egg for my wife after I’ll be gone. Thank you.”
Despite decades of warnings from health experts and countless lives lost, lawsuits against asbestos companies didn’t begin until the 1960s. But when the first dominos began to fall, the momentum was unstoppable. Many asbestos manufacturing companies have declared bankruptcy over the years. Luckily, their victims may still be protected. Many of these companies established mesothelioma trust funds to help cover future claims of patients who were diagnosed after asbestos exposure. Considering it can take decades for the cancer to develop after being exposed to asbestos, these funds play a critical role in ensuring mesothelioma victims receive the compensation they deserve.
There are dozens of mesothelioma funds in the United States that contain billions in potential settlement money for mesothelioma victims. Generally, anyone who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after asbestos exposure is eligible to file a claim.
To date, the largest mesothelioma/asbestos verdict recorded is $250 million, awarded in 2003 to a man who worked for U.S. Steel for 30 years. The amount was later settled for $50 million. Currently, the average mesothelioma lawsuit settlement is between $1 million and $1.5 million. The average jury award for mesothelioma lawsuits is $2.14 million, according to Mealey’s Litigation Report.
We have a proven track record of success, with our partner firms having secured more than $17 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients nationwide.
No fees unless you are awarded compensation.
Our partner firms are responsible for some of the most significant asbestos verdicts in history — verdicts that bring justice to victims and send a powerful message to companies that ignored the effects of asbestos.

This settlement was awarded to the family of a deceased Navy veteran who served in the U.S. Navy in the 1950s. He later pursued a 30-year career as an electrician, during which he was exposed to asbestos.
Scientists connected asbestos to disease as early as 1918. However, mesothelioma wasn’t linked to asbestos exposure until the 1940s, when a study of German asbestos workers revealed a link between asbestosis and cancers affecting the lungs, including mesothelioma. In the decades since, asbestos has been identified as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
When a person is exposed to asbestos, it can take anywhere from 20 to 60 years or more for them to develop mesothelioma, highlighting the long latency period associated with asbestos-related diseases. And, unfortunately, the risk of getting mesothelioma does not lessen over time.
If you believe you have a qualifying case, an expert mesothelioman attorney will be able to guide you through the entire process of filing a claim, including helping you identify the right trust fund. Lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period after a mesothelioma diagnosis, usually somewhere between 1 and 4 years. This period varies by state and the type of claim you plan to file, so it’s important to seek legal help as soon as possible.
