&amp; Verdicts in Georgia<\/h2>\n<p>Most mesothelioma lawsuits reach out-of-court settlements. These <a href=\"\/legal\/settlements\/\">mesothelioma settlements<\/a> award <strong>$1-1.4 million on average<\/strong> and allow both parties to avoid a trial.<\/p>\n<p>If the case does go to trial, a judge or jury will rule in favor of the asbestos victim or the product manufacturer hand down a verdict. Mesothelioma verdicts award <strong>an average of between $5 and $11.4 million<\/strong> if the court rules in the asbestos victim&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notable Georgia mesothelioma verdicts include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Georgia state court jury awarded just under <strong>$5 million<\/strong> to a man who developed mesothelioma after working for years with asbestos-containing products manufactured by one of the world\u2019s leading producers of engineered products and services.<\/li>\n<li>A Georgia man and his wife received nearly <strong>$4.2 million<\/strong> in an asbestos case involving a textile manufacturer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That said, not every mesothelioma victim wins a trial, and those who lose get no compensation from the manufacturer being sued.<\/p>\n<p>A Georgia asbestos lawyer can negotiate settlements and prepare a lawsuit for a trial if needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Asbestos Laws and Regulations in Georgia<\/h2>\n<p>The state and federal governments regulate asbestos in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>The Peach State has adopted the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos. Georgia has additional asbestos licensing and disposal requirements as well as more stringent notification and work practice requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The state also follows the federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requiring schools to monitor asbestos-containing materials (ACM).<\/p>\n<p>The Land Protection Branch of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has the authority to administer the NESHAP regulations and state asbestos rules. DNR relinquished inspection and enforcement authority for asbestos projects to the EPA due to state budget constraints in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>See if these laws may affect your case by talking to a Georgia mesothelioma lawyer.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-balance\">Statutes of Limitations in Georgia<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-20232 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/couple-lawyer-statute-of-limitations-300x167.png\" alt=\"A Georgia mesothelioma lawyer goes over paperwork with a man and a woman\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/couple-lawyer-statute-of-limitations-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/couple-lawyer-statute-of-limitations.png 670w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"\/legal\/statute-of-limitations\/\">statute of limitations<\/a> is a rule that determines when parties can file a legal claim. There are many variations by state.<\/p>\n<p>In Georgia, the mesothelioma statute of limitations is typically <strong>2 years<\/strong> for both personal injury and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/legal\/lawsuit\/wrongful-death\/\">wrongful death claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Contacting a Georgia mesothelioma lawyer soon after the diagnosis or death of a loved one may help ensure that you file your legal claim by the state&#8217;s deadline.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-compensation\">Asbestos Trust Funds in Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, statutes of limitations prevent mesothelioma lawsuits from being filed. Thankfully, compensation can still be accessed through <a href=\"\/legal\/asbestos-trust-funds\/\">asbestos trust funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Asbestos trust funds do not follow regular statutes of limitations and have their own limits on when claims must be filed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-shortcode\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.callout-shortcode{background:#EDF8F9;border-radius:0 10px 10px
