Asbestos Trust Fund Payouts | Braver Law PLLC
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It was once widely used in construction and other industries. This is because it's heat-resistant. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure can lead to severe health issues. This includes mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer.
The Asbestos Trust Fund: An Overview
Companies that faced many asbestos-related lawsuits often filed for bankruptcy. As part of the bankruptcy process, these companies established asbestos trust funds. These funds hold billions of dollars. This money is specifically to compensate victims of asbestos exposure.
Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer. It's primarily caused by asbestos exposure. Other asbestos-related diseases include lung cancer and asbestosis. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you might be eligible for compensation from an asbestos trust fund.
Understanding Asbestos Trust Funds
What is an Asbestos Trust Fund?
An asbestos trust fund is a fund established to pay claims to individuals harmed by asbestos exposure. These funds provide a critical source of compensation for victims and their families.
How Asbestos Trust Funds Work
When a company files for bankruptcy due to asbestos liabilities, the bankruptcy court creates a trust. It appoints trustees to manage it. Individuals who have been harmed by the company's asbestos products can file claims with the trust for compensation.
How Much Money is Left in the Asbestos Trust Fund?
The exact amount varies. Approximately $30 billion are estimated to remain in asbestos trust funds. This substantial amount ensures that victims of asbestos exposure can still seek compensation for their injuries and losses.
How Many Asbestos Trust Funds Are There?
Over 60 asbestos trust funds currently exist. These trusts hold over $30 billion. This money is available for victims to claim.
