The production of asbestos became a major industry in a wide range, at the beginning of the 20th century. From countries like England, South Africa, Australia and the United States, asbestos was mined. The knowledge of asbestos exposure occurred in the early period of the development in this industry. During the year 1906, the first medical report of a person dying due to fibrosis of the lungs was published. Strong evidence has developed relating asbestosis to many various asbestos firms in Britain by the late 1920's. The government in 1930 showing the drastic effects of the asbestos is funded a survey. It reported that the rate of sickness would be geometric, if the employees work for more than ten years in the presence of asbestos. It also stated that the rate of disease could be reduced if the asbestos dusts are controlled from the atmosphere. The disease has developed mostly in people directly involved in working with asbestos. During the year 1930, the evidence of malignant mesothelioma started to evolve. Later it was slowly linked with asbestos. There was a common knowledge that most of the deaths in the industry occurred due to lung cancer. Tuberculosis was also widespread at that time. The need of an autopsy developed to know the exact mode of death, analyzing whether the cancerous cells developed in the mesothelium or due to some other ailments. The major difficulty occurred with the length in the time gap in relating the mesothelium and the exposure of asbestos. Since the symptoms regarding this deadliest disease are similar to other various common diseases, many people were diagnosed later after working among the asbestos and when the disease developed with more severity. In the year 1959, three researchers developed and presented in a seminar in South Africa some stunning evidence providing a link between mesothelioma and asbestos. The study released major shocking notes against the asbestos industry and its effects. A major cover-up of these facts from the industry owners were developed in order to save the asbestos industry rather than protecting the workers. Various litigations were further developed for the fulfillment of the persons who had developed mesothelioma with asbestos exposure. The lawsuits helped them in claiming a maximum compensation from the major asbestos-abusing companies.

Mesothelioma has received much publicity in recent years, due to the high number of lawsuits against companies involved with the use asbestos. Virtually all documented cases of mesothelioma stem from inhaling large amounts of asbestos material, and due to the prevalence of asbestos in many different applications, total compensation numbers have been staggering. So extensive were the number of lawsuits, the U.S. government has limited the amount of compensation one can receive, and also the conditions under which one can file a lawsuit. Before the U.S. government passed The Fairness in Asbestos Compensation Act in 1999, one did not need to develop any signs of mesothelioma to begin litigation. One only needed to have worked in an environment where asbestos exposure occurred. Over 200,000 cases in the Federal Courts during that year alone prompted the government action. As a result, there must be a diagnosis of mesothelioma in order to file for compensation, and punitive damages are no longer awarded. While it may seem that The Fairness in Asbestos Compensation Act was a blow to the rights of workers exposed to asbestos, in reality, it proved to be a positive for those legitimately filing to obtain compensation for mesothelioma. Because so many people were filing lawsuits where they had not actually developed mesothelioma (and therefore did not require compensation), insurance companies began to file for bankruptcy. This left those who had legitimate claims to compensation for mesothelioma without the necessary resources to fund their treatment. The reasons why mesothelioma litigation can be difficult are twofold. First, the symptoms of this particular cancer are very non-specific, and therefore many times to not prompt those afflicted to seek medical attention as soon as they should. It can take decades to develop after the initial exposure to asbestos, but after the onset of the disease, the patient's condition can deteriorate rapidly. Second, in most states, there is a specific deadline by which you must initiate litigation involving compensation for mesothelioma that begins on the day of diagnosis. Another aspect of mesothelioma compensation is often more difficult to face. When a relative of someone diagnosed with mesothelioma dies as a result of the cancer, a wrongful death lawsuit may be filed. Generally, the primary action that an attorney will perform to prove wrongful death will be interviewing fellow employees of the deceased, as well as supervisors and other people affiliated with the company that exposed him/her to asbestos. Actual figures can vary wildly, depending on factors such as length and severity of exposure to asbestos, the stage of the mesothelioma, applicable state laws, and of course the goals of the person filing the lawsuit. Generally speaking, however, compensation for mesothelioma ranges between one and three million dollars, minus a contingency fee for the attorney. This fee can, of course, vary also, but usually falls between 30% and 40% of the total compensation.
