What Kind of Damages Are Available in an Aluminum Smelting & Refining Plant Asbestos Lawsuit?

In an Aluminum Smelting & Refining plant asbestos lawsuit, various types of damages may be available to compensate individuals who have suffered harm due to asbestos exposure.

These damages can include:

  • Medical Expenses: Victims of asbestos exposure often incur substantial medical bills for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of asbestos-related illnesses, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.

  • Lost Wages: Asbestos-related illnesses can lead to disability and lost income due to the inability to work. Compensation may cover past, present, and future lost earnings.

  • Pain and Suffering: Victims may be entitled to damages for the physical and emotional distress associated with their asbestos-related illness, including pain, suffering, and a decreased quality of life.

  • Funeral and Burial Costs: In the unfortunate event of a wrongful death case, the family may be entitled to compensation for the expenses associated with the funeral and burial of the deceased.

  • Punitive Damages: Punitive damages are awarded in cases where the defendant’s conduct is deemed to be particularly reckless or egregious.

It’s important to note that the availability and extent of damages can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, the jurisdiction in which the lawsuit is filed, and the laws in place at the time.
