Asbestos Lung Cancer Settlements

How Much Are Lung Cancer Lawsuit Settlements?

Average asbestos lung cancer settlements are around $100,000 — though we've secured far more for many clients. These amounts will vary based on the unique factors of each case, and we often recover more than the average.

Lawsuit settlements paid out for lung cancer are designed to provide patients and their families with financial relief while also holding asbestos-related companies accountable for their actions.

Our Past Asbestos Lung Cancer Settlement Amounts

As of December 2024, Sokolove Law has secured over $5.5 Billion for clients with lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases across the country.

Some of our past asbestos lung cancer compensation amounts include: 

• $1.6 Million to a California plumber with asbestos lung cancer whose wife also got lung cancer from secondhand exposure and passed away
• $1 Million for a master electrician in New York with lung cancer
• $912,000 to a non-small cell lung cancer patient in West Virginia
• $902,000 for the brother of a construction worker who developed non-small cell lung cancer
• $825,000 to an Arizona steel mill worker with lung cancer
• $809,000 for a stage 4 lung cancer patient in North Carolina
• $760,000 to a Mississippi lung cancer patient who was exposed to asbestos in boiler rooms
• $757,000 for a steelworker in Ohio with asbestos on the lungs

While there’s never a guarantee of compensation in any case, our asbestos lung cancer lawyers will fight to maximize your settlement and get you everything you’re entitled to.

For over 45 years, Sokolove Law has fought on behalf of lung cancer patients, helping them secure compensation for care and hold asbestos companies accountable. See if we can fight for your family now too.

Who Qualifies for Lung Cancer Settlements?

You may qualify for asbestos lung cancer settlements if you:

• Were diagnosed with lung cancer or another asbestos-related disease
• Are the immediate family member or estate representative of a lung cancer victim

If your loved one has already passed away from lung cancer, you may still be able to file an asbestos wrongful death claim on their behalf.

Even long-term smokers with a history of asbestos exposure may qualify for asbestos lung cancer settlements.

Not sure if you qualify? We can determine if you may be eligible for a lung cancer settlement during a free case review.

Determining Asbestos Lung Cancer Settlement Amounts

Asbestos lung cancer settlement amounts are influenced by many factors, which the defendant's legal team and your attorneys will consider during settlement negotiations.

Factors that can affect asbestos lung cancer settlement amounts include: 

• Extent of Asbestos Exposure: If you were exposed to multiple products that contained asbestos, you may be eligible for compensation from each of the companies that contributed to your illness.
• Medical Expenses: The cost of lung cancer treatments often add up quickly, and these expenses can influence the settlement you may receive.
• Severity of Your Illness: How advanced your lung cancer is plays a role in determining compensation, as late-stage cancer may result in a greater possible settlement amount.
• Lost Wages: If you’re unable to work due to your lung cancer diagnosis, your loss of earning potential may be considered when determining your settlement amount.
• Strength of Evidence: We have warehouses of evidence on asbestos job site locations, products, and companies — and we can pinpoint and pursue compensation from all of the companies responsible.
• Experience of Your Lawyer: Working with an experienced asbestos lawyer may help you receive the most asbestos lung cancer compensation possible. For over 45 years, our firm has helped thousands of asbestos exposure victims across the country secure compensation for their illnesses.

Your legal team will evaluate each of these factors while fighting for the maximum asbestos lung cancer compensation available in your case.
