Yes, that’s still possible. The company responsible for your asbestos exposure cannot avoid liability just by filing for bankruptcy. Many companies have set up trust funds specifically meant to compensate victims of asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. So it’s possible that you may be able to pursue compensation through the trust fund, which typically takes a shorter time because it does not have to go through the court system.
An experienced mesothelioma lawyer can help you identify these trust funds, build a strong case on your behalf, and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. That said, it’s essential to act promptly since some trust funds may be depleted, given the high number of claims by victims of asbestos exposure throughout Brooklyn.
