United States case record · Last verified: 1998-11-23

Reported amounts & case results

MSA annual payments total about $206 billion over 25 years (per the MSA and reporting). Payment schedules have been adjusted in state-specific deals over time (per the MSA and state reports). The matter is settled; no amount can be promised.

Figures are as reported by the cited sources — not a promise of any individual outcome.

Reported amounts are what sources say — not a promise. Individual results depend on injuries, jurisdiction, and the stage of the case. This is not legal advice.

What affects case value

Injury severity — the single largest driver across mass torts.
Jurisdiction — national/state/provincial law (e.g., discovery rules, statute of limitations) can change outcomes.
Case stage — early filings and post-bellwether values differ.
Documentation — medical records and the exposure timeline.
