Asbestos trust funds are one of the best (and the most unknown) options for receiving compensation related to asbestos disease. However, when it comes to the challenges of asbestos exposure and the financial and emotional difficulties that often occur as a result, it is more important than ever to know as much as you can about asbestos trust funds. Here is an overview of asbestos trust funds, including how to file a claim and get the compensation you deserve.

The Complications of Asbestos Cases and Asbestos Claims









One of the most complex issues when it comes to asbestos- and one that usually deters some people from seeking compensation- is the component of time. Often, it can be assumed that asbestos-related cases are going to take too much time, and those who are struggling with a debilitating disease related to asbestos are simply not able to devote the energy and time it takes to fight the battle from start to finish. 





This is an understandable concern, but it should not deter anyone from seeking compensation.

Understanding Asbestos Claims vs. Asbestos Lawsuits





It is true that the amount of time it takes to settle an asbestos case is dependent on many different factors. For one, it depends on whether the process falls under the category of a claim or a trial. This is one of the primary reasons why understanding asbestos trust funds is so important- which we will get to momentarily. A simple rule of thumb, however, is that asbestos trials will almost always take longer than a trust claim.

The Question of Time in Asbestos Claims









The reason for this is because of the comprehensive process of an asbestos trial. If a settlement cannot be reached pre-trial, the discovery phase will begin. This is essentially the fact-finding process of the trial, both for the plaintiff and the defendant. Both sides will be seeking evidence either to determine why compensation for an asbestos-related illness or injury is lawfully deserved or not. Plaintiffs will build their argument in order to establish a preponderancia de la evidencia, which means that they must provide proof of a more likely than not connection between the plaintiff’s asbestos-related disease and the responsibility of the defendant(s).

Fortunately most asbestos trusts offer compensation without a lawsuit.





This legal process for acquiring compensation for the negative outcome of asbestos exposure has a rich and complicated history of almost 100 years. Early on, the first asbestos claims lawsuits were unsuccessful. Some plaintiffs died before settlements were ever reached, while others were paid off by asbestos companies in order to keep the settlements confidential. 





In a world far different from the technological age we live in, it took a long time for this information to make it into the public sphere, even when some plaintiffs were beginning to win their cases. Thankfully, with the surmounting evidence brought against asbestos companies, especially regarding their la negligencia and failure to warn employees about the known dangers of asbestos, the uphill legal battle began to gain significant traction.

What About Secondary Exposure?









People exposed to asbestos by a family member working around asbestos – people with secondary asbestos exposure – can frequently recover compensation from asbestos trusts.





Besides the fear of time, another element that often deters people from pursuing an asbestos claim has to do with secondary exposure. When it comes to issues like evidence, discovery, negligence, and other terms that have been mentioned already, it’s easy to think that the only way to receive compensation is by proving that you have worked firsthand with asbestos products or you worked in a facility that exposed you to asbestos. 





Secondary Does Not Mean Rare: Secondary Exposure is Exposure





While this is certainly a common scenario, it is not the only one. Exposición secundaria al asbesto means being exposed secondhand, such as family members of workers. While second-hand asbestos exposure is harder to prove, it is still a common asbestos claim that can be entitled to compensation, based on the evidence. Despite any doubts or concerns about proving the case, you should know that secondary asbestos exposure claims are both possible and commonplace.

The Difference of Asbestos Trusts









Asbestos Trust Compensation: No lawsuit, no deposition, no risk.





While all of these examples highlight the positive upward trend of asbestos lawsuits for holding companies responsible and compensating those who wrongly suffer from asbestos exposure, there are still reasons to look for a solution that does not involve going to court. This is where asbestos trust funds come into play.





Not only are asbestos trust funds an option to consider if time is a concerning factor, but they are also an easier option by comparison. Los fideicomisos de bancarrota de asbesto were previously established by courts as a way to hold companies responsible and provide compensation for people who have been injured by asbestos exposure. Shockingly, these trust funds currently hold over $30 billion in unused funds! 





El two main requirements that must be met when filing an asbestos claim include proof of product exposure and proof of an asbestos-related illness. Asbestos trust funds are much easier to deal with compared to lawsuits, but they must be sought after with the right evidence and research to ensure that you received the compensation you are entitled to.
