What Type of Mesothelioma Compensation can be expected?
The extent of mesothelioma compensation that can be expected is determined on a case-by-case basis. Mesothelioma settlements range from thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. By 2002, 730,000 individuals had filed an asbestos-related claim against some 8,400 businesses. Litigation costs for these 730,000 claims were over $70 billion; approximately $49 billion (or 70%) of this total cost served as compensation. That is an approximate average of $67 thousand worth of compensation per claim.
