The purpose of asbestos lawsuits is to recover financial damages resulting from asbestos related illness. Possible financial recoveries from asbestos lawsuits include the cost of lost wages, medical bills, and other associated costs. A few states permit asbestos lawsuits to be filed by people who reasonably expect to develop asbestos-related illnesses.
These lawsuit regulations allow individuals exposed to asbestos to attempt to prepare financially for likely diseases. In some cases punitive damages - to punish the defendant - are also awarded. Many lawsuits have served to help publicize the adverse health effects of asbestos exposure; increasing numbers of asbestos lawsuits are decided for the plaintiffs as information about asbestos exposure becomes common knowledge.
Plaintiffs in asbestos lawsuits can include the victims of asbestos exposure, their families or loved ones. Asbestos lawsuits are filed by plaintiffs who have suffered as the result of asbestos related illness. Defendants against asbestos lawsuits are those parties considered responsible for the asbestos exposure.
In the past, targets of asbestos lawsuits have included employers, asbestos manufacturers or installers, and landlords or leasing agents.
