What is Asbestos Lawsuit Funding?

Everyone has, at some point or another, heard something about "asbestos" or "mesothelioma". Typically it's associated with a lawyer who is attempting to try a class action suit against a company that negligently used or didn't protect their employees from asbestos. A lingering question for many people, however, is confusion about what exactly asbestos is.

Asbestos is a set of six minerals which are naturally occurring and were used commercially in the past because of their beneficial construction properties. Asbestos is fibrous, and relatively fire resistant. It also tends to be less vulnerable to chemical wear and tear than other building materials, which made it a popular choice for many contractors in the past.

Why Is Asbestos Dangerous?

Although it had been speculated about, the danger of interacting with asbestos was first realized by a British doctor in 1924. Since then, asbestos has become the longest and most expensive tort in United States history. There are thousands of Defendants and almost a million Plaintiffs. This is because inhalation or overexposure to asbestos can cause diseases and cancers such as mesothelioma, asbestos warts, pleural plaque, and even lung cancer. Long term exposure to asbestos can cause these diseases, with the duration and nature of the exposure being the determinate factor in the degree of the disease.

What Can Be Done About Asbestos Exposure?

The American Environmental Protection Association has done their part in attempting to monitor and regulate asbestos and asbestos exposure here in the U.S. Having said that, there are remedies available to people who have been harmed by exposure to asbestos. As mentioned before, asbestos is the longest running and most expensive type of tort in the court system today. There are a plethora of attorneys who conduct their daily business solely in the scope of asbestos and mesothelioma litigation.

Although there are safeguards for the companies and defendants who have been sued by individuals who were exposed to asbestos, it is still not uncommon for people to be able to recover appropriate amounts, so long as the harm they are demonstrating is provable and clearly linked to asbestos exposure. If you think that you could be experiencing the symptoms of an asbestos related ailment, you should not hesitate to contact a doctor as well as a lawyer.

Finally, if you do have a pending lawsuit related to asbestos or mesothelioma, you may find you need funds to pay your daily expenses as you wait for your asbestos case to resolve.

How can Case Funding help me or my attorney?

We help level the playing field by providing lawsuit funding for you or your attorney to compete effectively against insurance companies, large corporations, and other deep-pocketed defendants.

How is Case Funding different for Plaintiffs?

Non-recourse funding is different than a lawsuit loan. Unlike loans, advances don't require you to put up collateral; you don't need good credit; and if you lose your case, you pay nothing and owe us nothing! We give you money based only on the strength of your lawsuit, because our lawsuit funding is repaid only if you win money from your case. While your case is pending, you do not owe any installment or interest payments. You pay nothing until your lawsuit resolves.
