Washington Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
Many asbestos manufacturers filed for bankruptcy after facing overwhelming liability. As part of the bankruptcy process, courts required these companies to establish asbestos trust funds to compensate current and future victims.
Washington workers were exposed to asbestos-containing products from multiple manufacturers across shipyards, power plants, factories, construction sites, railroads, and automotive facilities. Even if the responsible company no longer exists, trust funds may still pay compensation.
Trust fund claims are separate from lawsuits and can often be filed in addition to other claims.
