What kind of compensation can I expect to get if I decide to file a lawsuit?

Because every case is unique, it is difficult for any attorney to determine how much compensation a person might expect from a lawsuit before your case has been fully investigated and litigated. In fact, it is unethical for an attorney to “guarantee” a certain amount of recovery in your case in the beginning. Beware of attorneys who promise you a certain amount of compensation during your first conversation. A good attorney’s ability to obtain compensation for you will depend on many factors, such as the nature of your disease, proof of exposure to asbestos, the financial condition of the companies responsible for your exposure, the laws of the state or jurisdiction governing your claims, and other facts particular to your case. A good attorney will analyze all of the facts of your case and make strategic decisions in an effort to achieve optimal results.
