Have You Been Diagnosed With Lung Cancer After Asbestos Exposure?

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lung cancer and were exposed to asbestos, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through lawsuits and/or asbestos trust funds.

Why You Should Act Promptly

Legal deadlines (called statutes of limitations) strictly limit how long you have to file a claim. These deadlines vary by state and can be as short as 1 year after diagnosis or death.

In many cases, the filing period begins when the illness is diagnosed – not when exposure occurred, even if exposure happened decades ago.

Missing the deadline may permanently prevent recovery.

Asbestos Lung Cancer

You May Qualify If:

  • You have been diagnosed with lung cancer

  • You were exposed to asbestos at work, at home, or second-hand

  • Exposure occurred years or decades ago

  • You can provide medical and work history information

Common exposure sources include construction, shipyards, industrial jobs, military service, insulation work, automotive repair, and power plants.

Potential Compensation May Include

If a claim is successful, compensation may cover:

  • Medical expenses

  • Lost income and benefits

  • Pain and suffering

  • Care costs

  • Wrongful death damages (for families)

Compensation varies widely based on evidence, jurisdiction, and defendants. Some claims resolve through settlements or trust funds established by bankrupt asbestos companies.

Approximately 60 active asbestos trust funds collectively hold tens of billions of dollars for eligible claimants.
