This is particularly true when a person was exposed to more than one type of asbestos at multiple locations. A seasoned mesothelioma attorney will interview witnesses such as co-workers or relatives, abatement workers and suppliers to create an extensive database of employers, products and asbestos litigation locations.

There is a growing concern the cost of resolving claims from past asbestos victims has a negative impact on funds that could be used to fund future cases. Some claimants also believe that settlements don't reflect actual injuries and they should be compensated more.

In asbestos cases, defendants can contest claims to dismiss them by summary judgment or a determination of no exposure.
