The severity of the injury, victim's symptoms and the location of the exposure are all factors in determining the amount that a jury will decide to award.

A mesothelioma suit is not the only way to submit a claim for disability through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans who have been identified as suffering from asbestos-related diseases may receive financial aid and medical treatment through VA disability claims.

Trust Funds

Asbestos victims must be compensated fully for their losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering.

The funds were first established in the 1980s, following companies exposed workers to asbestos and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to avoid liability.

Each trust fund assigns a value to the different kinds of asbestos-related diseases with the most serious types being given a higher price. Each trust has a certain percentage of the total claim that they will pay. Asbestos lawyers aid victims to file claims with multiple asbestos trust funds to maximize their compensation.

It is crucial to submit an asbestos trust fund claim as soon as possible after diagnosis to ensure compensation is received in an efficient manner. The timeline varies by case, but many victims receive compensation within 90 days of filing their claim. Some victims might qualify for expedited reviews, which allows them to receive compensation based on criteria set by the asbestos firm.

The mesothelioma trust fund's median payout is at least $1 million. However, the exact amount is contingent on which asbestos companies are involved in the individual's claim and the trust's percentage of payment.

Compensation from these sources help the victims and their families to pay for medical expenses and replace lost income and help pay for living expenses.
