Asbestos Trust Funds – Bankrupt Asbestos Companies
Due to the overwhelming number of lawsuits filed against asbestos manufacturers, many manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of raw asbestos and asbestos-containing products have set aside over $30,000,000,000 ($30 Billion) in trust funds for victims of asbestos diseases (mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, other cancers). Many of these companies are listed below in addition to sites where the products were potentially used.
The Asbestos Legal Center specializes in filing claims with these numerous Asbestos Trust Funds. In the past 5 years alone, we have recovered over 40 million dollars from these funds for victims of asbestos-related diseases.
