What Kind of Damages Are Available in Dow Chemical Asbestos Exposure Lawsuits?

In Dow Chemical asbestos exposure lawsuits, victims and their families may be eligible to seek various types of damages to compensate for the harm, suffering, and losses they have endured as a result of asbestos exposure. The specific damages available can vary depending on the circumstances of each case and the applicable laws. Some common types of damages that may be pursued in such lawsuits include:

  • Medical Expenses: Victims of asbestos exposure often incur substantial medical bills for diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care of asbestos-related illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Damages may cover these past and future medical costs.

  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation can be sought for the physical and emotional pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life resulting from asbestos-related illnesses.

  • Lost Wages: If the victim is unable to work due to their asbestos-related illness, they may be entitled to recover lost income, including past and future earnings.

  • Punitive Damages: In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded if it can be shown that Dow Chemical’s actions were particularly egregious, demonstrating a willful disregard for the safety of employees and the public.

  • Wrongful Death Damages: In cases where the asbestos exposure has resulted in the death of the victim, surviving family members may seek damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the emotional distress caused by their loved one’s passing.

It’s important to note that the availability and amount of damages can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific details of each case. Additionally, some states have set up asbestos trust funds to compensate victims, which can be an alternative source of compensation.

Dow Chemical Asbestos Lawsuits

Dow Chemical has exposed many former workers to asbestos-containing products in its facilities. Families of former workers have been awarded millions from Dow, after the workers had been exposed to asbestos while employed at Dow Chemical, and later developed cancer. In the past, juries have concluded Dow was aware of the cancer risks for workers and failed to provide a working environment.

What Does an Asbestos Lawyer Do for Your Dow Chemical Case?

An asbestos lawyer, also known as a mesothelioma attorney, plays a crucial role in helping individuals and families who have been affected by asbestos exposure pursue legal claims and seek compensation.

Here’s what an asbestos lawyer typically does for your case:

  • Gathering Evidence: Asbestos lawyers will work to collect and review medical records, employment history, and other relevant documents to establish a strong case. This may involve interviewing witnesses and experts who can provide supporting testimony.

  • Negotiating Settlements: Asbestos lawyers are skilled negotiators and will work to secure fair settlements with the defendants or their insurance companies. They will strive to get you the best possible compensation without the need for a lengthy trial.

  • Trial Representation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, your attorney will represent you in court. They will present your case to a judge and jury, arguing for the compensation you deserve.

In summary, an asbestos lawyer plays a vital role in helping asbestos-exposure victims pursue legal claims, seek compensation, and navigate the complex legal process. Their expertise and advocacy can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
