Some companies that sold asbestos products have set up trusts during their bankruptcy filing. These trust funds are intended to compensate mesothelioma and lung cancer patients.
When a person with mesothelioma files a lawsuit against the company that exposed them to asbestos, the litigation often ends with an agreed upon settlement.
Filing a lawsuit seeking monetary damages against the companies that caused your asbestos exposure can yield substantial verdicts and/or settlements.
There are a number of resources specific to mesothelioma patients and their families to help them access funds, including patient grants, workers' compensation, veteran benefits, and social security disability.
