MESOTHELIOMA CLAIM ATTORNEY ASSISTANCE

Discovery in Mesothelioma Cases

Once a complaint is filed and all of the defendants have answered that complaint, discovery is conducted. Discovery is the process by which all facts relevant to the lawsuit are identified. Each side can ask written questions, request documents and request admission of certain facts. The parties can then use deposition to clarify and expand on the information exchanged in discovery.

Our lawyers always handle our clients’ depositions, and they have the opportunity to depose the defendants. Depositions allow our clients to document the devastating impact of mesothelioma on them and their families. The deposition also allows our clients to identify what each defendant’s involvement with asbestos was, as well as what steps the defendant took (if any) to diminish the risks of asbestos exposure.

Settlements and Trial

Our primary goal in every mesothelioma claim is to recover full and fair value for our clients. About 5 percent of mesothelioma cases go to verdict, but our attorneys prepare for trial to maximize case value and convince defendants that we are willing, ready and able to try the case. Our seasoned trial lawyers have a strong track record and have recovered millions of dollars in both verdicts and settlements.

The vast majority of cases are resolved through settlement, and because many of the defendants in these cases are bankrupt, we can submit claims to the trusts formed by the bankrupt companies, which may result in receiving funds within a matter of weeks. Many non-bankrupt defendants, given the high verdicts and bad publicity involved with asbestos, will also settle early to avoid trial.

Unlike some firms, we do not ask for additional compensation for trying a case. We consider it part of our service in achieving the very best results for our clients.
