Ultimately, our goal is to secure the greatest compensation award possible from the judge if the case goes to trial or to push the defendant to get the most compensation for you and your family out of court. “Compensation [in these lawsuits] is linked heavily to the strength of the case, which brings into play the plaintiff’s specific diagnosis, health condition, and the degree of perceived liability on the part of one or more defendants. According to a recent Mealey’s Litigation Report, the average mesothelioma trial award is estimated at $2.4 million. The average mesothelioma settlement is between $1 million and $1.4 million and typically paid by multiple defendants” (Asbestos.com).

What is the Prognosis for Mesothelioma Patients?

“A mesothelioma prognosis is difficult to give. Mesothelioma is still a rare and relatively unknown form of cancer. It’s difficult for many doctors to predict exactly how it will progress. Because there is a limited number of patient cases, a mesothelioma prognosis isn’t always reliable” (Mesothelioma Veterans Center).
