After your death, your family will receive the compensation you were receiving
The families of asbestos victims are also eligible for financial compensation. Accordingly, if you currently receive a monthly installment from one or multiple asbestos trust funds, it will automatically go to your immediate family after you pass away. Thus, you can rest assured that your family members will continue to benefit from financial compensation after your death.
If, however, you filed a claim with asbestos trust funds but pass away before the process is complete (which is unfortunately the case of many asbestos victims), you should not be concerned either, as one of your family members can easily carry it out on your behalf. Even if you had not taken legal action during your life, it is still possible for your loved ones to recover financial compensation for your asbestos injury.
The family members of asbestos victims who had not been receiving compensation before their death can take legal action by filing either a claim with one or more asbestos trust funds or a wrongful death lawsuit. As a tremendous number of employees have been injured by occupational asbestos exposure, the vast majority of liable companies were forced to seek bankruptcy protection and subsequently set up asbestos trust funds. Consequently, the families of asbestos victims will often receive compensation from asbestos trust funds. Unlike suing the responsible company, filing a claim with asbestos trust funds is a very easy process to navigate.
