Asbestos Claims Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about asbestos exposure can be complicated. These answers provide a starting point for railroad workers, industrial workers, veterans and families considering an asbestos-related claim.
What is an asbestos trust claim?
Some companies that manufactured or sold asbestos-containing products entered bankruptcy proceedings and established trusts to compensate eligible people with asbestos-related injuries. A trust claim seeks payment from one or more of those funds based on the claimant’s exposure and medical history.
Who may qualify for asbestos compensation?
Eligibility depends on the facts of each case, including where and how exposure occurred, the products or work sites involved, the person’s diagnosis, and the requirements of any applicable asbestos trust or legal claim. Former workers and, in some situations, family members may have options.
Can railroad workers file asbestos-related claims?
Railroad workers were historically exposed to asbestos in locomotives, shops, roundhouses, brake components, insulation, gaskets, pipe covering and other equipment. The available legal options depend on the worker’s craft, railroad, work locations, dates of employment, exposure history and diagnosis.
What illnesses are associated with asbestos exposure?
Asbestos exposure has been associated with serious respiratory disease and cancers, including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. A medical professional should evaluate any health concerns, and a lawyer can review whether a diagnosed condition may support a claim.
Will I have to pay attorney fees up front?
Sammons & Berry, P.C. handles qualifying matters on a contingency-fee basis. That means clients do not pay an attorney fee unless the firm obtains a recovery for them. Specific fee terms are explained in the representation agreement.
What information should I gather before contacting the firm?
If available, gather your work history, employer and railroad names, job titles, work locations, approximate dates, military service information, known asbestos products, and relevant medical records or diagnosis information. Do not delay contacting the firm if you do not have everything; the legal team can help identify what is needed.
What is the first step in having my case reviewed?
Call Sammons & Berry, P.C. at (800) 519-1440 or complete the website intake form. The firm can review the basic facts, discuss possible legal options and explain the next steps during a free initial consultation.
