Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was commonly used in a wide range of products, including building materials, vehicles, and industrial goods. As a result, many industries relied heavily on asbestos, leading to frequent exposure for workers across numerous job sites.
Individuals who worked in environments where asbestos was present may face an increased risk of lung cancer and other asbestos-related illnesses, even many years after the initial exposure.
A lung cancer lawsuit is a legal claim that may be brought against companies associated with asbestos-containing products when exposure may have contributed to a lung cancer diagnosis. These claims may help eligible individuals pursue compensation for medical costs and other related losses.
Individuals diagnosed with lung cancer after past asbestos exposure—sometimes occurring decades earlier—may be eligible to pursue a claim. In certain situations, surviving family members may also be able to pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one.
This may include:
A spouse
A child
A parent
A legally appointed estate representative
Eligibility depends on the specific facts of each case.
Compensation may be available for individuals and families impacted by asbestos-related lung cancer. Potential sources can include:
Settlements or court awards
Asbestos trust funds
Certain veterans’ benefits
The availability and amount of compensation depend on individual circumstances
A history of smoking does not automatically prevent someone from pursuing an asbestos-related lung cancer claim. Eligibility depends on whether asbestos exposure may have contributed to the illness.
Medical research has linked asbestos exposure to an increased risk of lung cancer. Risk levels can vary depending on duration and intensity of exposure.
