Asbestos Trust Funds for Veterans and Shipyard Workers
Many of the manufacturers listed here entered bankruptcy and established asbestos personal injury trust funds that remain open today. Veterans and civilian workers diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis may have a legal claim from multiple trusts simultaneously — regardless of when the company went bankrupt or how long ago exposure occurred.
Major Navy-relevant trust funds include Johns-Manville, Owens-Illinois, Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, Eagle-Picher, Armstrong World Industries, Celotex, and the Amatex trust. Filing with multiple trusts requires knowledge of which products were present at your duty stations.
