No, but veterans can still pursue compensation from bankrupt asbestos companies through trust funds.
Starting in the 1980s, manufacturers of asbestos-based products filed for bankruptcy since they were swamped with lawsuits. Bankrupt companies cannot be sued.
However, the U.S. court system forced these bankrupt companies to set aside billions in asbestos trust funds to pay victims. These bankruptcy trusts contain an estimated $30 billion today. You may be able to access a portion of this money by filing a claim.
