These businesses may also own or have control of asbestos-contaminated properties.

Asbestos suits typically fall under laws governing product liability that are based on state and common laws that allow for damages to be recouped from sellers of goods when the products cause injuries. In a suit for product liability it is claimed that injuries were caused due to defective design or manufacturing and that the person injured was not adequately warned of the dangers associated with the products.
In asbestos cases, defendants typically argue that they didn't act in a negligent manner and that their products were safe, despite the fact that doctors have long acknowledged that asbestos-containing products can lead to various diseases.

Many states have set a time limitation, also known as a statute of limitations, on how long asbestos victims can bring a lawsuit. The time frames vary from state to state, but generally range between one and two years. If the statute of limitations runs out before a mesothelioma lawsuit is filed, the victims lose their rights to a fair settlement.

In addition, the defendant has to prove that it is responsible for the asbestos-related injuries. The trial process is often long. In the last 10 years mesothelioma cases, jury verdicts cases have risen significantly, and are far more than the amount of money awarded to settlement cases by judges.
A mesothelioma attorney can help victims understand the steps to take in the court process and can explain their rights under the law in an open courtroom.
