Surviving family members may also be able to file a claim on behalf of a mesothelioma victim who has passed away.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of a Michigan mesothelioma lawyer, asbestos victims can see if they\u2019re eligible to receive compensation through a lawsuit. It will cost you nothing to file a lawsuit when you work with an asbestos lawyer. These lawyers also do most of the legal work so you aren\u2019t burdened.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"settlements\">Mesothelioma Settlements and Verdicts in Michigan<\/h2>\n<p>A mesothelioma lawsuit may end in a settlement or jury verdict. A <a href=\"\/legal\/settlements\/\">mesothelioma settlement<\/a> may be reached if the manufacturers of asbestos-containing products being sued agree to pay the victim a lump sum of money.<\/p>\n<p>Mesothelioma settlements typically pay victims between <strong>$1 million and $1.4 million<\/strong> on average, but some may award more or less than those amounts.<\/p>\n<p>When a settlement can\u2019t be reached, the case will go to trial. If the judge or jury finds in favor of the mesothelioma victim, a financial award is handed down. If not, the mesothelioma victim gets no money. Mesothelioma verdicts award victims an average of between<strong> $5 million and $11.4 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are two recent Michigan mesothelioma verdicts to note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A steelworker died from asbestos-related cancer after working at the same Detroit car plant mentioned above.
