About Asbestos

American companies mined over 800,000 tons of asbestos ore during a peak consumption period from the 1920s to the early-1980s. Asbestos was a highly-sought commodity used by hundreds of companies turning raw material into over 3,000 different finished products.

This group of companies is responsible for the majority of the payouts from illness lawsuits. Fully Solvent, with legal backing and funds set aside specifically for damages that may be incurred. These often settle lawsuits before they even go to trial. Many Defend asbestos relates lawsuits to the bitter end and do not settle, but force a long court process, where they still often lose if the claim is sound.

Many produced products that were unknown to have issues, but later it was found that they were used incorrectly and caused injury or worse - users followed the directions of the company in proper use and still were injured.

In the most egregious cases, and the ones you stand the best chance to win in court or have the company settle are those were the manufacture still has documentation that reflects 'proper' use that will result in harm. In these cases you will be advised to document the instructions, that they are still in common practice and how you accessed them.
