Asbestos Compensation Explained

Scientists have known about the dangers of asbestos for over 100 years. Due to poor regulations, nothing was done to protect the average person from asbestos until more recently. Large corporations took advantage of this, and purposefully hid the fact that asbestos causes cancer and serious illness. These companies colluded to cover up the dangers of asbestos. They purposefully did not put warnings on asbestos products because they thought it would hurt their profits. They chose profits over lives. After many years of people dying from asbestos, these large companies that sold asbestos products were sued so many times in US courts that they gave up and set up Asbestos Trusts for victims of their products. Canadians can apply to over 30 different asbestos trusts for compensation.

We’ll Guide You through the Trust System

It can be hard to figure out which trusts to apply to. Let us help guide you through the trust system. In order to have a valid claim, you will need a medical report that proves you have mesothelioma and exposure information that proves you were exposed to asbestos. It can be difficult or nearly impossible to recall what type of flooring, or gasket, or pipe insulation you used 50 years ago, but we have compiled a database of asbestos materials, which can help maximize your compensation.

Over the years, our Ontario-based law firm has represented hundreds of clients in asbestos-related matters. During that time, we’ve compiled a detailed asbestos product database that helps us determine which products you may have been exposed to based on when and where you worked. As a mesothelioma law firm based on Ontario, we have a thorough understanding of the specific companies that distributed asbestos products across the province.

We’ve assisted clients all over Ontario, and often new clients come from the same workplaces as previous clients. This overlap means we can draw on our past clients’ testimonies about asbestos exposure at those locations, significantly strengthening a new claim. In cases involving mesothelioma, especially when a loved one has passed away, prior testimony and our established database can be critical in identifying the right asbestos trust funds for claims. If an individual worked at the same site as one of our former clients, we can often file for compensation with the same trusts used successfully in previous claims.
