Mesothelioma Base Case: Criteria for Compensation

A mesothelioma case may qualify as a "base case" for compensation purposes if it meets the following conditions:

  • Diagnosis: The individual was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma by a qualified medical professional (pathologist, internist, pulmonologist, or occupational medicine physician).

  • Litigation: The individual was deceased at the time the lawsuit was initiated or the claim was filed.

  • Age: The individual was 75 years old at the time of death.

  • Dependents: The individual had a spouse and no other dependents or minor children at the time of death.

  • Economic Loss: The individual's loss of earnings, pension, social security, and home services falls within a specified range.

  • Medical and Funeral Expenses: The individual's medical and funeral expenses fall within a specified range.

  • Exposure: The individual had standard exposure to asbestos-containing products at traditional job sites (e.g., shipyards, refineries, power plants) linked to companies represented by asbestos trust funds.

  • Latency: At least 10 years passed between the individual's first exposure to asbestos and their mesothelioma diagnosis.

  1. Average Mesothelioma Compensation typically refers to the combined average amount you could receive from both Asbestos Trust Funds and successful lawsuit settlements against Civil Defendants. However, there may be other sources of compensation available in certain cases.
  2. Individual Review: Your claim will be individually reviewed by the administrators of an asbestos trust fund, which may result in higher payouts.
  3. Ratio: The trust funds ensure a fixed percentage of compensation known as a "ratio", which reserves funds for potential future victims based on the claim’s worth.
