Years of Experience

Types of Claims Lung Cancer Lawyers Handle
A lung cancer lawyer may pursue different types of legal claims on your behalf. Learn about the types of claims below.
Lung Cancer Lawsuits
Lawyers can potentially secure millions of dollars for patients and families through lung cancer lawsuits, depending on the nature of each case.
Two types of lawsuits can be filed:
- Personal injury lawsuits: These are filed while the lung cancer patient is still alive and seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
- Wrongful death lawsuits: These are filed on behalf of surviving family members who lost a loved one to asbestos lung cancer.
A lung cancer lawyer makes the lawsuit process much easier, allowing patients and loved ones to receive financial compensation and justice with less stress.
Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Manufacturers of asbestos-containing products were forced by the U.S. court system to set aside money in bankruptcy trusts if they wanted to stay in business but avoid lawsuits.
It’s estimated that $30 billion is still available in asbestos trust funds today.
Asbestos lung cancer lawyers can file claims with multiple trusts if more than one company was responsible for their client’s exposure and cancer diagnosis.
