• You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you've been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease such as mesothelioma or lung cancer, if a loved one has died from mesothelioma cancer, or if you're representing the estate of a mesothelioma victim.
• Mesothelioma settlements typically range from $1 to $1.4 million, with trial verdicts averaging around $2.4 million.

Examples of Compensation From Mesothelioma Settlements

Mesothelioma lawsuit settlements usually range from $1 to $1.4 million, but some can be much higher. The largest settlements can exceed $10 million. The amount a person receives can depend on factors like how severe their illness is, their work history, and other details.

Here are some examples of high mesothelioma settlements:

• A plumber received $13 million after claiming his mesothelioma was caused by exposure to asbestos at work.
• A 48-year-old U.S. Navy veteran and drywall sprayer got $11 million from companies that made asbestos-laced drywall.
• A pipefitter was awarded $11 million to help cover costs related to his mesothelioma diagnosis.

Mesothelioma lawyers use their experience to help figure out how much a case might be worth.

Examples of Compensation From Mesothelioma Verdicts

The average mesothelioma verdict is $2.4 million, which is higher than the typical settlement amount. However, trials carry the risk that a jury may side with asbestos companies, while settlements offer guaranteed compensation without that risk. A lawyer can help determine if a case is likely to succeed in court.

Trial verdicts can also be reduced or overturned after the trial. For example, a jury awarded $250 million to a steel plant worker in 2003, but the amount was later reduced through a private agreement.

Notable mesothelioma verdicts include:

• $120 million for talc exposure: In 2019, a woman was awarded $325 million for developing mesothelioma from using Johnson & Johnson talc. The amount was reduced to $120 million in 2020.
• $82 million for auto products exposure: In 2017, a jury awarded a woman $82 million after her husband died from mesothelioma caused by asbestos in auto parts.
• $52 million for talc exposure: In 2022, a California jury awarded $52 million to a woman who developed mesothelioma from asbestos-contaminated talc in Avon products.
• $43 million for secondhand exposure: In 2022, a jury awarded $43 million to a woman with pleural mesothelioma after she was exposed to asbestos from her husband's work with asbestos-containing doors.
• $36 million for occupational exposure: In 2022, a Louisiana jury awarded $36 million to a mesothelioma patient who was exposed to asbestos while working as a welder and pipefitter.
