Although the height of the asbestos litigation is several years behind us, 3,000 people still get diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma so we still see hundreds of asbestos lawsuits filed every year. Most of these mesothelioma cases settle fairly quickly, but we still see many of these cases going to trial in courts around the country.<\/p>\n
The causation evidence linking asbestos exposure to mesothelioma is well established and never gets challenged anymore. The defense in most mesothelioma cases usually revolves around whether the plaintiff can adequately prove other elements of their claims (e.g., whether the plaintiff worked with asbestos products manufactured by the defendants, or on property owned by the defendants, etc.).<\/p>\n
