What Kind of Damages Are Available in a Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Asbestos Exposure Lawsuit?

In a Portsmouth Naval Shipyard asbestos exposure lawsuit, individuals who have been harmed due to asbestos exposure may be eligible to seek various types of damages. These damages aim to compensate victims for the physical, emotional, and financial hardships they have endured as a result of their exposure.

The specific damages available can include:

  • Medical Expenses: Victims of naval shipyard asbestos exposure can seek compensation for their past and future medical costs. This can encompass expenses related to diagnosis, treatment, medication, rehabilitation, and ongoing healthcare needs.

  • Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: If asbestos-related illnesses prevent an individual from working or reduce their earning capacity, they can pursue compensation for lost wages and potential future income.

  • Pain and Suffering: Asbestos-related illnesses can be physically and emotionally distressing. Victims may be awarded damages for the pain and suffering they have endured or will continue to experience due to their condition.

  • Funeral and Burial Costs: If the asbestos exposure results in a fatality, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral and burial expenses.

  • Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s actions were particularly reckless or malicious, punitive damages may be awarded. These damages are designed to punish the responsible party and deter future misconduct.

The availability and amount of these damages can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, including the severity of the asbestos-related illness, the duration of exposure, and the liability of the defendant(s). It’s crucial to consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in asbestos exposure cases to assess the potential damages available in your specific situation and to navigate the legal process effectively.
