Mesothelioma Lawsuits

Settlements

A settlement in a mesothelioma lawsuit is an agreement reached between the victim or their family members, and the defendant. The settlement provides compensation to the victim for his damages. It usually is based on the victim's past and anticipated medical expenses, lost wages, and other documented costs related to their diagnosis.

Compensation is usually split into two types: economic and noneconomic damages. The latter includes tangible costs such as medical expenses, documented lost wages and pain and suffering.

Trial verdicts are more lucrative than settlements, but they can also be time-consuming. The outcome of a court trial is not 100% guaranteed. The award may also be delayed by an appeal.
