Question 1

Do we have to file a lawsuit to get compensation?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Asbestos bankruptcy trusts are often filed without suing that company. Litigation, VA claims, and workers’ compensation are separate routes and may apply in combination.

Question 2

The company that made the product is gone. Is the claim dead?

Accepted Answer

Often no. Many manufacturers were required to fund trusts before emerging from bankruptcy. Those trusts still pay qualifying claims today.

Question 3

How long after exposure can a claim still be filed?

Accepted Answer

Mesothelioma latency is commonly measured in decades. Filing deadlines usually run from diagnosis or discovery, not from the year of exposure — a coordinator confirms the rule for your state.

Question 4

Does this cost anything to review?

Accepted Answer

The claim review is free and creates no obligation. Fee arrangements with any attorney are explained before you agree to representation.
