How Can a California Lung Cancer Lawsuit Help Me?

If you or a loved one is living in California, you may be eligible to file a lung cancer lawsuit to pursue financial compensation and justice.

Many cases of lung cancer are caused by exposure to a toxic substance called asbestos, which was used through the early 1980s in a wide range of industries. Private manufacturers hid the dangers of asbestos to make a profit. California lung cancer lawsuits can force these manufacturers to pay for harming you.

Anyone affected by a California resident’s lung cancer diagnosis may be able to file a lawsuit.

Those eligible to file include:

It’s also possible to file lawsuits for other asbestos-related diseases besides lung cancer, such as mesothelioma.

Statutes of Limitations on California Lung Cancer Lawsuits

Every state has laws that limit the amount of time you have to file lawsuits for injuries or illnesses like lung cancer. These laws are called statutes of limitations.

Did You Know?

California’s statute of limitations is set at 2 years from the date you were diagnosed or the date a loved one passed away from lung cancer.

If you don’t file a California lung cancer lawsuit by this deadline, you’ll never be able to do so and will miss your opportunity to pursue compensation.

Call (877) 446-5767 to connect with our team and learn if you can file a California lung cancer lawsuit. We may still be able to help you even if you don’t think you qualify.

California Lung Cancer Settlements and Verdicts

California lung cancer lawsuits award compensation through either out-of-court settlements or trial verdicts.

By working with our legal partners, some victims have received $1 million or more through California lung cancer settlements and verdicts.

Recent payouts secured by our legal partners in the state include:

  • $1.6 million to a plumber and his wife, who both had lung cancer
  • $902,000 for the brother of a construction worker with non-small cell lung cancer
  • $1.36 million to a mechanic
  • $2 million to a construction worker

Almost all lawsuits reach settlements, allowing both legal parties to avoid the stress, hassle, and unpredictability of a trial.

That said, in the very rare event that a trial does occur, our partner attorneys will fight for the highest payouts on your behalf.
