Every asbestos attorneys case is different however, the general procedure to defend against claims based on asbestos is the same. Your lawyer will need to take a deposition of the plaintiff.

Determine the source of exposure
The identification of asbestos exposure is an important step in submitting an asbestos claim. Attorneys for victims can often use medical records to determine the source of asbestos. This could help victims receive compensation from the companies accountable for asbestos exposure.
Compensation is needed by mesothelioma patients as well as their families to pay for the cost of expensive treatment. Compensation can help families cope with the mesothelioma diagnosis.

Many of these companies have established trust funds to compensate asbestos victims. However asbestos defendants continue to deny the evidence linking asbestos exposure to mesothelioma or lung cancer. This is despite the findings of doctors like Dr. Irving J. Selikoff and Dr. Jacob Churg.
Making an Database
A lawsuit involving mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases is different from any typical personal injury lawsuit. In many cases, asbestos litigation involves many of the same defendants (companies that are sued) as well as many of the same law firms representing plaintiffs and many of the same expert witnesses.
To build a viable defense in a case involving asbestos, attorneys must have access to a comprehensive database that can identify possible sources of exposure. This includes examining the work site, speaking with coworkers and getting documents from employers and suppliers. This involves locating and interviewing doctors or nurses who might be able to provide evidence regarding asbestos exposure.
This type of database is difficult to build, particularly if the data has been lost over time. When this happens, it can require the reconstruction of a complete claims database and insurance program, often from multiple sources such as loss runs and claim files, internal systems, and defense counsel records. This can take many years or even years to complete.

Identifying Defendants
The truthful basis of asbestos lawsuits is often established through discovery. Many asbestos companies resisted for many years that their products could cause harm to people, but when lawsuits began, company documents emerged to reveal evidence of the dangers.

In order to win a lawsuit the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant's products were used at his workplace, that he inhaled dust from the product, and that this exposure was a major reason for his injuries.

It is also possible to identify defendants if one knows the type of asbestos, like amosite or chrysotile.
The defendants must take the time to review these facts and identify the possible sources of exposure, which may require a review of more than 40 years of a worker's existence through Social Security, union, tax and other documents. Because the time lag for asbestos injuries is so long, creating an accurate database requires a lot of time and costly discovery.
Due to the high volume of asbestos cases and insufficient resources of defendants in federal courts, many asbestos cases will be referred to a multidistrict lawsuit (MDL). This practice allows defendants the opportunity to share resources, and to avoid duplication of discovery.
