Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust

No Lawsuit is Required to File a Claim

Because asbestos use in the United States was so pervasive for so long, only recently has the full weight of its health care costs become apparent. In 1994, an amendment to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by Congress provided special protection for companies with asbestos liability and made possible the establishment of asbestos bankruptcy trusts that companies could use to settle claims and avoid both litigation and future liability. Currently, 71 asbestos companies have filed for bankruptcy protection.

No lawsuit is required to file a claim with an asbestos bankruptcy trust. Our attorneys can pinpoint your exposure and the company or product responsible for it. Contact us.
