Do I Qualify for Trust Funds?
Most people with mesothelioma qualify for trust fund money, but the only way to determine your eligibility is by speaking with a lawyer. Our top lawyers can track your asbestos exposure back to a specific company or companies and pinpoint exactly how your mesothelioma formed.
As of 2008, there was around $30 billion combined in these trust funds. That number fluctuates with time, but billions are left unclaimed. If you have mesothelioma, you’re likely eligible for quick compensation from at least one of the 60 established trust funds.

Process for Filing a Trust Fund Claim
Filing a trust fund claim can be complicated, but an experienced lawyer can streamline it for you. They’ll do everything in your best interest, mazximizing the amount of money you receive and how quickly you receive it.
In addition to the usual claims review process, you have two exigent review options for your trust claim: expedited and individual. An expedited review is easier and provides a quicker payment. However, it usually results in a smaller amount. An individual review takes longer but often leads to a larger payment.
Even though an individual review takes longer, it’s usually worth the wait. The difference could be tens of thousands of dollars more in financial relief. Whether you would qualify for these claims review opportunities depends on the specific facts of your case. Hire an attorney to prevent the process from dragging on for a year or more.
