Step 3 – Learn: Options for Those with Cancer
If your aging loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, there are options available that you may not have known existed to help fund their care.
Asbestos exposure has impacted millions of families. Most people don’t realize that so many were exposed to this dangerous mineral, which often affects even the family members of those who unknowingly worked with asbestos-containing products.
Since the 1980s, hundreds of thousands of people have received compensation from trust funds established by negligent major manufacturers of asbestos-containing products. As of 2021, most of the major manufacturers of asbestos-containing products have established trust funds which allow them to avoid lawsuits and stay in business. Though compensation amounts vary, these funds can help families affected by mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases to cover their medical and long-term care expenses.
If you or a loved one has been faced with a cancer diagnosis, specifically Mesothelioma or Asbestos-related Lung Cancer, it’s important to know that there may be money set aside to pay for care.
After filing a claim, an expedited review will determine if your claim meets a set of predetermined requirements. If all requirements are met, your claim will not be disputed and payments are generally made quickly. You’ll never need to go to court and there’s no cost to file your claim (attorneys are only paid a fee if they win your claim and secure compensation for you).
Those who file for asbestos trust fund payouts often make claims against numerous trusts. Oftentimes, there isn’t just one company responsible for your loved one’s cancer diagnosis since many corporations were involved in the mining, production and sale of asbestos and asbestos products. All of them could play a role in why you developed this cancer. There is no limit to how many trusts you and your lawyer can pursue, and each claim provides a larger payout.
