An asbestos trust fund is set up by bankrupt companies who are liable for exposing former employees to asbestos through their products or workplaces. Those diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease due to their employment at Halliburton and its acquired companies could be eligible for compensation.
The amount awarded to each individual claimant is determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as degree of incapacity, severity of disease, and type of disease are considered when determining the total compensation amount.
The easiest way to file a claim with an asbestos trust fund is by consulting a trust claims specialist at a law firm that specializes in mesothelioma cases. A trust claims specialist who is experienced in filing a claim can make the process easy for you. They can also see if you are eligible to file with any other asbestos trusts, maximizing your compensation.
