Quick answer
Can you file an asbestos trust claim if the company closed?
Often yes. When an asbestos manufacturer reorganised under Chapter 11, courts commonly required it to fund a trust for current and future claimants. A trust claim is filed against that fund — not a living corporate defendant — and does not require a lawsuit against that company.
