Abstract
The past years have recorded a significant number of punitive damages awards in asbestos-related lawsuits. However, granting of punitive damages awards can pose critical issues in asbestos litigation. This is because the potential for punitive damages can profoundly affect the plaintiff verdict and may increase the settlement values of asbestos-related claims.
As punitive damages continue to pose uncertainties in current cases, counsel to businesses must be thorough in analyzing such claims. They must also prepare for efficient litigation techniques to avoid pitfalls.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of punitive damages in asbestos litigation. Speakers will also share recent developments and notable court rulings and will offer best practices to ensure success in this type of litigation.
Key topics include:
• Asbestos Litigation: Trends and Statistics

• Impact of Punitive Damages on the Settlement of Asbestos Claims
• Best Litigation Techniques
• What Lies Ahead
