Why Most Families Don't Realize They Qualify
Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure. But, symptoms may not appear until decades later, so families may not connect their diagnosis to a potential claim.
Also, mesothelioma is costly, with medical bills easily exceeding $400,000 per year. Patients or loved ones may need to stop working to provide care. These issues can make it hard for even well-prepared families to stay afloat financially.
Through mesothelioma claims, families can access significant compensation to cover costs and get justice from companies that used asbestos without disclosing the dangers.
This guide explains how mesothelioma compensation works and what you need to know.

How much money can be expected to be paid out from a mesothelioma case?
How much mesothelioma compensation you could get depends on the unique factors in your case. On average, mesothelioma claims award over $1 million if they settle or between $5 million and $11.4 million if they result in a jury verdict.
Our legal partners can give you a better idea as to how much compensation could be available in your case.
Who can file a mesothelioma claim?
A person who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma — as well as their spouse, child, or family member — may be able to file a claim to recover compensation from manufacturers of asbestos products.
If the mesothelioma patient passes away, a family member or estate representative may also be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
What is the statute of limitations to pursue mesothelioma compensation?
The statute of limitations is a deadline to file mesothelioma compensation claims. It varies by state. In most states, you'll only have 2-3 years from the date of your diagnosis to file.
The statute of limitations only applies to mesothelioma lawsuits. There are different timelines associated with asbestos trust fund claims and VA benefits, both of which can award additional compensation for mesothelioma.
For best results, speak with a mesothelioma lawyer as soon as possible. They can help determine your compensation options, even if you think the deadline has passed.
What is the average settlement for mesothelioma?
Over 99% of mesothelioma lawsuits reach out-of-court settlements to avoid compensation. These settlements typically pay out $1 million to $1.4 million.
In the very rare event that a settlement is not reached, your attorneys may be able to take your case to trial. Mesothelioma trial verdicts are usually worth $5 million to $11.4 million, but how much you may receive can vary significantly based on the factors in your case.
How long does it take to receive a mesothelioma settlement?
Generally speaking, you may start to get compensation from mesothelioma claims in 90 days or less when you work with our partner attorneys.
From there, you'll receive periodic payments over the next 12 to 18 months as your claims are processed.
Who pays mesothelioma victims?
Mesothelioma compensation comes from the manufacturers of asbestos-containing products you were exposed to. These companies knew that asbestos could cause mesothelioma but hid the risks.
Mesothelioma lawsuits can force these manufacturers to pay for the harm they've caused. If a company has since declared bankruptcy, we can pursue compensation from the asbestos trust fund they may have established.
Finally, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awards monthly compensation to U.S. veterans who developed mesothelioma after handling asbestos while serving.
