If you or a loved one were diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancers, asbestosis or other asbestos-related injury after being exposed to asbestos-containing products of a company that filed for bankruptcy, you may be entitled to recover compensation from an asbestos trust fund claim.
A team of products liability injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating asbestos trust fund claims of individuals who were injured after being exposed to asbestos from products of companies that filed for bankruptcy and established an asbestos trust fund.
An asbestos trust fund (or asbestos bankruptcy trust) is a trust created by a company that filed for bankruptcy protection or reorganization under U.S. bankruptcy law that pays personal injury claims of individuals who were exposed to asbestos in products of the bankrupt company.
It has been estimated that more than $30 billion has been set aside in various asbestos trust funds to compensate individuals and families for injuries suffered due to asbestos exposure.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Asbestos trust fund claims potentially being investigated include claims of individuals who were diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, other asbestos-related cancers, asbestosis or other asbestos-related disease after being exposed to asbestos-containing product(s) of a bankrupt company that created an asbestos trust fund.
Asbestos trust funds typically allow for two types of asbestos claim reviews: an expedited claim review (a grouped review that is assigned a fixed payment that does not account for extent of disease or level of asbestos exposure, but usally pays out quicker) and an individual claim review (that takes into account more individual factors so payout can be higher, or lower, and may take longer to pay out).
The amount of money a claimant can recover from an asbestos trust fund can vary, depending on, among other things, the type of asbestos injury claimed (i.e., mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancers, asbestosis, etc.), the initial payment schedule of the asbestos trust fund, and the current payment percentage of the asbestos trust fund.
