Each case is unique and the amount of time it takes to resolve your case depends on many factors. Certain judges may expedite your case to give you priority. A case may be brought against multiple defendants. Additionally, there may be settlement opportunities via compensation trust funds that have been established as a result of asbestos companies reorganization under bankruptcy. Currently there are over thirty trust funds with initial funding over $30 billion dollars, making these funds often times a significant source of compensation for our clients. Every case is different, but judges typically expedite cases involving those with mesothelioma and cases can proceed from initial filing to trial in less than 1 year. It is also typical for cases to take 2 or more years to fully resolve in some cases. We work diligently to advance the process as quickly as possible. We never lose sight of the fact that the sooner you and your family see meaningful settlement dollars, the faster you can use these funds to take care of the things that matter most; your health and your family’s financial security.
