Types of Lung Cancer Claims
There are three main types of lung cancer claims that you or a loved one may be able to file to access financial compensation. Learn about each below.
Lung Cancer Lawsuits
Lung cancer lawsuits are filed against the manufacturers of asbestos products to hold them financially responsible.
Negligent asbestos companies knew the health risks but hid them for decades. A lung cancer lawsuits can force these companies to pay for harming you. You may qualify to file a lawsuit even if you smoked.
Almost all asbestos lawsuits reach out-of-court settlements, allowing you to get compensation quickly without going to trial.
Our legal partners have secured significant compensation for other patients through lung cancer lawsuits, including $3 million to a Missouri woman. Call (877) 446-5767 now to find out the potential value of your claim.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Asbestos trust funds contain over $30 billion for those with lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other diseases.
Bankrupt companies were required to put money into these trusts to pay victims. 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.
These 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 have the lowest health care copays.

Eligibility for Lung Cancer Claims
Any of the following groups may qualify to file claims to pursue lung cancer compensation.
These include:
- Lung cancer patients
- Family members of lung cancer patients who have passed away
- Those representing the estate of a lung cancer patient
Top lung cancer law firms can help you or a loved one file legal claims if exposure to asbestos or silica dust caused this cancer.
However, time is limited to file claims for lung cancer, so it’s important to seek out legal help promptly.
Statute of Limitations for Lung Cancer Claims
Statutes of limitations are laws limiting the amount of time people have to file lung cancer and asbestos compensation claims. 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 that your case is filed before time runs out.
