Mesothelioma patients and their families use compensation to pay for medical bills, travel expenses, living costs, and other financial needs. There are no restrictions on how the compensation can be used.
The time to get compensation from an asbestos trust fund varies based on the patient’s diagnosis and individual needs. On average, it takes three to six months but some patients and their families may receive compensation within 90 days.
Compensation from a single trust ranges from $10,000 to $150,000 depending on factors that include the severity of the patient’s illness, companies involved, and work history. Most patients and family members file claims to multiple trusts for maximum compensation.
Yes, family members of patients who have died due to an asbestos-related disease or complication may be able to file a claim on an asbestos trust or pursue a wrongful death lawsuit for expenses that include funeral costs, unpaid medical bills and other financial needs.
Most asbestos trust fund claims begin paying out in 90 days or less. In the case of gravely ill patients, the claims process can be expedited. However, in other cases, particularly when paperwork is filed incorrectly or documentation is incomplete, the process can be much slower and take up to a year.
In most states, claims must be filed within two to three years of a diagnosis date or a loved one’s death from an asbestos-related disease. Many trust funds also have their own time restrictions on filing.
