Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Bankrupt asbestos companies were forced to put money into lung cancer compensation trust funds to pay victims.
Asbestos trust funds contain over $30 billion for those with lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other diseases. Eligible lung cancer patients can often file claims with multiple trusts depending on which asbestos products they were exposed to.
Asbestos trust fund claims may be filed in addition to a lung cancer lawsuit, allowing you to get the most amount of money possible from your case.
VA Benefits Claims
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers benefits to veterans with lung cancer linked to asbestos exposure during military service.
Notable lung cancer VA benefits include:
- Disability compensation worth nearly $4,000 a month
- Free or inexpensive medical treatments
- Survivor benefits to protect a veteran’s family
The VA typically considers asbestos-related lung cancer to be a 100% disability, so veterans can access the highest payouts and pay the lowest premiums for treatments.
Accessing VA benefits is a separate process from filing other types of lung cancer legal claims.

Eligibility for Asbestos Lung Cancer Claims
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with lung cancer and was ever exposed to asbestos-containing materials or silica dust, you may qualify to file claims for compensation.
Lung cancer claims are typically filed by:
- Lung cancer patients
- Family members of patients who passed away
- Those representing the estate of victims
It’s also possible to file claims to pursue compensation for other asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma.
However, time is limited to file lung cancer and asbestos-related disease claims, so it’s important to seek out legal help promptly.
Statute of Limitations for Lung Cancer Claims
Statutes of limitations are laws that prevent a lung cancer claim from being filed if too much time passes. Time limits vary by state and the type of claim filed.
Statutes of limitations on lung cancer lawsuits range from 1-6 years after a diagnosis or death. Asbestos trust funds set their own deadlines to file, but many typically allow just a few years.
If your lung cancer claim isn’t filed by the deadline, you will miss your chance to pursue compensation. By working with an asbestos lung cancer attorney, you can ensure your claim is filed before time runs out.
