In most mesothelioma cases, many people who have been diagnosed with the asbestos-related illness are put together into a class action lawsuit. These classes are referred to as mass torts. However, in 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected asbestos class actions, concluding that there is too much variance among various plaintiffs with regards to their exposure histories and diseases to form a single group.

The Supreme Court's ruling led mesothelioma patients to file individual cases rather than joining an action class. Although this method is more labor-intensive and time-consuming but it also allows the patients to receive a greater amount of compensation than had they joined an action class.

In the wake of mesothelioma lawsuits, billions of dollars have been put into asbestos trusts to pay for future claims. These asbestos trusts have dispensed multimillion-dollar settlements to the majority of patients who received substantial verdicts in mesothelioma cases.

Class action lawsuits

A mesothelioma suit is a legal claim in which asbestos victims are grouped together and make a joint lawsuit against companies responsible for their exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos victims may also claim trust fund benefits to help cover their medical expenses. Trust funds for asbestos are set up by the courts for those who have been exposed to asbestos and who have mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness.

State laws, also known as statutes of limitations, define the time frame an individual has to assert their legal rights in an asbestos lawsuit. In some states, this time period is as short as 2 years after the mesothelioma or asbestos diagnosis.

If a mesothelioma patient passes away before their case is settled, family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased. In addition, wrongful death lawsuits seek compensation for the loss of companionship a loved one and their lifetime income.

To make a convincing case, lawyers should be familiarized with asbestos company records and asbestos expert testimony. The process can last from several months to a year or more, depending on the complexity of the case and the evidence available. During this process, lawyers exchange information about their cases with defendants, and they will hold depositions to get more information regarding asbestos exposure.
