Yes. Those exposed to asbestos who later developed lung cancer or mesothelioma may be eligible for compensation through legal claims. These funds can help pay for treatment, suport surviving family members, and cover other costs.
Pursuing a lawsuit or asbestos trust fund claim won’t affect your ability to file for VA benefits. Additionally, most lawsuits are filed against asbestos manufacturers, not the military or U.S. government. Veterans made a tremendous sacrifice in serving our country. They should not have to navigate life after a lung cancer or mesothelioma diagnosis alone.
