Protecting the Rights of the American Worker

Mesothelioma Compensation

Financial compensation is available to those diagnosed with mesothelioma. It's worth noting that:

  • Widows and families of deceased victims may be eligible.
  • Smoking does not preclude compensation.
  • Waiting to contact a mesothelioma attorney may jeopardize your rights.

Mesothelioma: Bankruptcy Trusts

Some companies responsible for exposing workers to asbestos have filed for "reorganization bankruptcy." Rather than a liquidation of assets and the company ceasing to exist, this form of bankruptcy allows companies to submit a plan to their creditors and the courts. Part of these plans includes the establishment of funds that they will create to provide payment to workers and others harmed by their asbestos products and business processes.

Does it matter what lawyer I choose if they're just getting money from trusts?

First, each case is unique, and compensation will generally come from both trust payments and settlements—the latter made either through negotiation or lawsuits. However, trust payments generally reflect only a portion of their actual value. Ensuring your receive the most money for your claim is best completed by a firm experienced with filing asbestos bankruptcy trust documentation.
Not only does this help ensure you receive what you're owed, it also ensures you're working with an asbestos law firm that knows how to efficiently and effectively complete all the necessary paperwork: getting you your compensation faster.
