What Is the Process for Filing an Asbestos Lawsuit?

After we have conducted a thorough investigation of your case, gathered extensive evidence, and identified every potentially liable asbestos company, we will review all your options for demanding compensation.

Some cases may require filing claims with asbestos trust funds. Others may result in asbestos settlement payouts. If your case goes to trial, here is what you can expect:

• Our New York asbestos attorneys will file a complaint with the court that names the companies we intend to hold responsible for your illness. (Note that an asbestos lawsuit is usually not filed against the military or your old employer. Rather, these asbestos lawsuits are filed against the manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and/or installers of asbestos products.)
• Our team will exchange information with the defendants as part of the discovery process. As part of this process, you also will give your testimony at a deposition. But you will not have to go to court to testify. Our asbestos lawyers can make arrangements that are more convenient for you.
• The next step may include negotiating settlements with the defendant(s) or arguing your case before a judge and jury. Most asbestos companies want to avoid the risk of going to trial, so many claims settle before reaching a jury verdict. No matter what happens in your case, you can trust that our asbestos attorneys will thoroughly discuss all your options for demanding maximum compensation.
• If you are awarded compensation in a jury verdict, the asbestos company may appeal. Our full-service asbestos law firm has extensive experience winning major appeals.

How Long Does an Asbestos Lawsuit Take?

For people who are suffering from mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases, time is of the essence.

Our asbestos attorneys will work quickly to keep your case moving forward. Despite asbestos companies’ efforts to stretch these cases out, our knowledgeable New York mesothelioma lawyers will usually request that the court resolve these claims within one year.

Asbestos Compensation for Family Members

For people who have been diagnosed with the deadly asbestos cancer mesothelioma, their focus is usually on making sure their family is taken care of in the long run.

For patients who file an asbestos lawsuit but pass away before it is resolved, loved ones may be able to see the case through and demand the compensation the victim ultimately deserved.

For families who have already lost someone to an asbestos disease, our compassionate team may be able to help you file a wrongful death claim.

Let Our Experienced Asbestos Litigators Fight for You

Receiving a diagnosis of mesothelioma, lung cancer, or any other asbestos disease puts a weight on a person and a family.
