This very much depends on the particular facts of the case. You should be very suspicious of any attorney that promises that a case is worth a certain amount of money. An asbestos case can result in a very small recovery or very large recovery depending on the evidence in the case.

No. Most asbestos lawsuits settle before trial. However, it is important to be represented by a law firm that is prepared to go to trial if necessary and is recognized by defendants and insurance companies for their expertise in trial.

The decision about whether to settle the case or go to trial is made by the client, after consultation with the attorney, based on the facts of the particular case.
