Asbestos Trust Funds

Many asbestos companies filed for bankruptcy to avoid being sued, but were forced to set up asbestos trust funds. These trusts contain large sums of money meant to reimburse those who got sick from using the companies’ products.

As of 2023, asbestos trust funds hold over $30 billion, and you may be able to access some of this money by filing a claim.

Our Indiana mesothelioma lawyers can determine if any asbestos products you were exposed to were made by companies that now have trusts and file claims on your behalf.

Veterans Benefits

U.S. veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma may be eligible for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Disability payouts worth over $3,800 a month as of 2023

Survivor benefits
Other medical and financial benefits

The Mesothelioma Veterans Center can help you or a loved one file a VA claim or increase your VA payouts if you already have benefits.

Further, you can get VA benefits and pursue compensation from lawsuits or asbestos trust fund claims at the same time when you work with our Indiana lawyers.
