Asbestos Suit Awards Vary

Settlements awarded to those who sued about 300 manufacturers because of health problems related to asbestos exposure averaged $64,000 each with the highest awards going to people in their 50s who filed individual suits against the multiple defendents.

Settlements and trial verdicts were influenced by the type of job and the type of disease developed by the claimant as well as his age. Those who opted for trials received jury verdicts netting 2.28 times the awards granted in pretrial settlements.
