Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is an uncommon type of cancer that affects the mesothelium, the liner that covers certain organs in the body. Exposure to asbestos is the main cause of this type of cancer. This kind of exposure usually occurs in the workplace.

Asbestos fibers can cause irritation to the the pleura, which is the lining that connects the lungs. The irritation can cause inflammation that can result in malignant mesothelioma. Mesothelioma may also spread to other parts of the body in which there is a similar lining, such as the stomach lining (peritoneal mesothelioma) and the testicles (pericardial mesothelioma).

The symptoms of mesothelioma vary depending on the location and type of mesothelioma. Coughing, chest pain abdominal swelling, and difficulty breathing are a few of the signs.

Asbestos trust fund claims

Companies that mined, produced or distributed asbestos used the substance extensively until the dangers of mesothelioma were recognized. In the end, a lot of these companies applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allowed them to establish trust funds to compensate victims of asbestos-related illnesses. A family member or a victim may file a claim to an asbestos trust fund on behalf of the person who is suffering. To do this they must submit an official document proving their mesothelioma diagnosis. It must be certified by a specialist or doctor. They also need to provide evidence of asbestos exposure.

To divide the amount of funds available for each claim, each trust sets an amount of money and pays claims according to the priority of each.

Asbestos victims have the option of choosing between two review processes for their trust claims: expedited and individual. The individual review process allows victims to receive compensation that is specific to their circumstances. This may result in a larger award than the value that is scheduled in the speedy process.
