As part of the asbestos claims process, your lawyer will review your exposure information and recommend either an expedited review or an individual review of the mesothelioma fund claim:
Expedited Review: Most trusts have determined a payout for those that meet basic requirements for approval of a claim — this means every claimant approved with the same disease gets the same mesothelioma trust fund awards (money).
Individual Review: If our lawyers determine that you may be awarded more money based on the unique facts of your claim, they may recommend that you pursue an individual review. In this case, the trustee may award a higher amount than offered through the expedited review. This process can take longer, and it’s possible the trustee may award less money than the expedited review.
After this, trust fund administrators will “liquidate” your claim according to payment percentages established by the trust and then provide you with compensation.
