Values of Different Lung Cancer Claims
There are a few types of claims that asbestos lung cancer patients may be able to file. In fact, some patients can file different types of claims simultaneously to increase their case values.
Learn about lung cancer case values for these different claims below.
Lung Cancer Lawsuits
Our partner lawyers can file lung cancer lawsuits on behalf of patients to pursue compensation from manufacturers of asbestos-containing products. These lawsuits sometimes pay out $1 million or more.
Almost all lawsuits end in out-of-court settlements. In the rare event a lung cancer settlement doesn’t occur, our partner attorneys will fight for the highest payout from a trial verdict.
Family members who lost loved ones can also file a lung cancer wrongful death lawsuit to pursue compensation.

Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Many manufacturers of asbestos-containing products filed for bankruptcy to avoid lawsuits but were ordered to set up trusts to stay in business. There is roughly $30 billion still available in asbestos trust funds today.
With a lung cancer lawyer’s help, patients can access money from multiple trusts depending on which products they were exposed to, and this may increase their lung cancer case value.
VA Benefits
Veterans with lung cancer can get compensation through benefits offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
VA financial benefits award nearly $4,000 a month on average, and veterans can still file other types of claims to increase their lung cancer case value.
Factors That Affect Lung Cancer Case Values
Many factors affect lung cancer legal case values, including your medical bills, the asbestos-containing materials you were exposed to, and more. Learn about each of the factors below.
Amount of Asbestos Exposure
If you were exposed to asbestos at your job, you likely came in contact with many different asbestos products. Repeated exposure puts you at a high risk of lung cancer and other malignancies later in life.
As a result, you could be eligible to file a claim against each manufacturer, increasing your potential lung cancer case value.
Our partner attorneys can determine which products you were exposed to and the companies that made them.
Medical Costs
Lung cancer treatment costs without insurance can be upwards of $140,000, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Even with insurance, medical bills, basic living costs, and more can all add up after a lung cancer diagnosis.
Top lawyers will strive to secure the highest lung cancer payouts in your case, so you can afford your oncology (cancer) expenses.
Other Damages
You may receive other damages for your lung cancer diagnosis, such as lost earning potential from not being able to work while getting treatment and pain and suffering.
An attorney can assess these other factors when determining your potential lung cancer case value.
Lung Cancer Lawyer Experience and Skill Level
Ideally, you want to work with an experienced lung cancer lawyer who has the resources and dedication needed to secure a strong payout for you.
For best results, work with lung cancer attorneys who:
- Are part of a national lung cancer law firm
- Charge no upfront fees (meaning there’s no financial risk for you to work with them)
- Have a strong track record of securing compensation for other clients
- Have resources like asbestos product databases to strengthen your case
All of these factors make it more likely that the attorney you’re working with will be able to maximize your lung cancer case’s worth. As a result, you can afford treatments to improve your overall survival and quality of life.
