Businesses that provided services to asbestos-using mines, manufacturers or in an employer capacity could be held accountable for injuries suffered by victims.
Asbestos suits are typically governed by products liability laws that are based upon the common law and state laws that permit damages to be recovered from sellers of goods when the products cause injury. In a particular case, in a product liability lawsuit, it is claimed that the injuries were caused due to a flawed or a design defect and that the victim was not properly warned of the risks associated with using the products.
Defendants in asbestos cases often argue that they did not do anything negligently and that their products are safe, even though doctors have long recognized the use of asbestos-containing products is linked to various diseases. Furthermore, companies that concealed the risks of asbestos to increase profits have been accused of concealing the truth by attempting to suppress claims and also to block workers from seeking the financial compensation they deserve for their injuries.
If more than one defendant is found to be liable for asbestos-related injuries suffered by a victim the judge or jury could decide how to split the responsibility between them through a process known as the apportionment. The apportionment does not affect the total amount that a plaintiff may receive as compensation from the defendants in the case.
