Bankruptcy Trusts For Mesothelioma Claims

Mesothelioma and asbestos-related litigation have been taking place for more than 30 years. The companies who knowingly and willfully exposed their employees to asbestos have been compelled to pay significant damages in these cases. Many companies filed bankruptcy in the wake of the first wave of asbestos litigation in an attempt to avoid liability. As part of the Chapter 11 process, these companies were required to establish a trust to fund victims of asbestos exposure. There are a number of asbestos bankruptcy trusts, including the following:

  • A&I Products
  • A-Best Products Company
  • ACandS, Inc.
  • Armstrong World Industries, Inc.
  • Artra Group, Inc.
