After an asbestos-exposure illness like mesothelioma or lung cancer is diagnosed, one of the first concerns is accessing compensation to cover medical bills and other expenses.  Clients can begin to receive payments as soon as 90 days after filing a claim.  At Braver Law, our goal is to expedite the claim process whenever possible to get clients relief as quickly as possible.

With our extensive asbestos litigation experience, Braver Law has strategies to potentially accelerate the timeline and improve cash flow for clients:

• Fast-track trust fund claims - File with trusts likely to pay quickly first while compiling evidence for larger trusts. Many will pay out within 4-6 months, but some will pay within 90 days
• Request interim payments - For larger trust claims, we can request partial interim payments while the full claim is pending approval. This provides relief during the process.
• Coordinate timing of multiple claims - Sync trust claim filings and lawsuit complaint filing to maximize flow of compensation.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation. These diseases often result from prolonged exposure to asbestos, a hazardous material once widely used in construction, manufacturing, and military applications. Because asbestos-related illnesses can lead to costly medical treatments, lost income, and severe financial strain, it is essential to explore the available options for recovering compensation to help cover these expenses.

There are several potential avenues for obtaining financial relief. One of the most common is filing a claim with an asbestos trust fund. These trust funds were established by companies that were held responsible for exposing individuals to asbestos but later filed for bankruptcy. Instead of avoiding liability, these companies were required to set aside billions of dollars to compensate current and future victims. Filing an asbestos trust fund claim can provide much-needed financial support without requiring victims to go through a lengthy lawsuit process.

Another way to seek compensation is by filing a personal injury lawsuit against companies that manufactured, distributed, or used asbestos-containing products. Many victims have successfully pursued lawsuits against these corporations, resulting in substantial settlements or court verdicts that help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If a loved one has passed away due to an asbestos-related disease, family members may also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim, which can provide financial compensation for funeral costs, loss of income, and emotional distress.

For veterans who were exposed to asbestos during their military service, there are additional options for financial assistance. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers benefits for veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. Many military personnel, particularly those who served in the Navy, were exposed to high levels of asbestos in ships, barracks, and equipment. Veterans who qualify may receive disability compensation, healthcare benefits, and additional financial assistance through VA programs.

Because each compensation option has its own specific requirements and deadlines, it is crucial to act quickly. Statutes of limitations vary by state and can impact eligibility for filing claims. This is why working with an experienced asbestos attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. A skilled legal team can thoroughly evaluate your work history and asbestos exposure, identify all potential sources of compensation, and handle the legal paperwork and filings on your behalf. Whether you are eligible for trust fund claims, lawsuits, settlements, or VA benefits, having knowledgeable attorneys on your side can help maximize your financial recovery.

If you or someone you love has been affected by an asbestos-related illness, now is the time to explore your legal options. Medical expenses and financial burdens can quickly become overwhelming, but there are resources available to help you secure the compensation you deserve. Do not wait—take action today to protect your rights and ensure financial support for you and your family.

Asbestos trusts are funds set up by bankrupt companies to pay current and future asbestos claims. Experts estimate that over $30 billion remain in 60+ trusts. Payouts average $300,000 - $400,000.  Trust fund claims are faster and easier than lawsuits in most cases.

You can file a lawsuit against companies still in business that expose victims to asbestos. Successful lawsuit claims often settle out of court for substantial amounts. Jury verdicts can result in multi-million-dollar awards if a settlement isn’t reached.

Veterans exposed to asbestos during their service may qualify for VA disability and health care benefits. Payments begin within months and can really help offset costs.
