Asbestos Trust Funds
Asbestos trust funds are financial trusts established by companies that went bankrupt due to asbestos litigation. These funds hold over $30 billion in combined assets and provide compensation to victims of mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other asbestos-related diseases. Each trust has its own payment percentage, eligibility requirements, and filing procedures. An experienced mesothelioma attorney can identify which trusts apply to your exposure history and file claims on your behalf.

Need Help Filing an Asbestos Trust Fund Claim?
Most mesothelioma patients qualify for compensation from multiple trust funds. An experienced attorney can identify every fund that applies to your exposure history, handle the paperwork, and help maximize your total recovery. There is no cost unless you receive compensation.
How Asbestos Trust Funds Work
When companies that manufactured or used asbestos went bankrupt due to mounting lawsuits, courts required them to establish trust funds to compensate current and future victims. Each trust operates independently with its own payment procedures, disease values, and payment percentages.
Key Concepts
- Payment Percentage
- The percentage of a claim's "scheduled value" that the trust currently pays. Payment percentages are adjusted periodically to ensure the trust can pay all current and future claimants. A 10% payment percentage on a $600,000 scheduled value means a $60,000 payment.
- Expedited Review
- The faster claim process where your claim is evaluated against standard criteria. Most mesothelioma claims qualify for expedited review, which typically takes 6–12 months.
- Individual Review
- A more detailed review process that may result in higher compensation but takes longer (12–24 months). Recommended for claims with strong exposure evidence and high damages.
- Scheduled Value
- The base compensation amount assigned to each disease category. Mesothelioma typically has the highest scheduled value. The actual payment equals the scheduled value multiplied by the current payment percentage.
Filing Multiple Trust Fund Claims
Most mesothelioma patients were exposed to asbestos products from multiple manufacturers, meaning they may be eligible to file claims with several trust funds simultaneously. An experienced attorney will review your complete work history and exposure profile to identify every applicable trust fund, potentially increasing your total compensation significantly.
