How asbestos trust funds work

When asbestos manufacturers filed for bankruptcy starting in the 1980s — facing thousands of personal injury lawsuits from workers diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases — Congress amended bankruptcy law to allow these companies to reorganize while creating court-supervised trust funds to compensate current and future claimants.

Each trust:

• Was established by a bankruptcy court Plan of Reorganization with a § 524(g) channeling injunction
• Operates under a Trust Distribution Procedure (TDP) that defines eligibility, scheduled values for each disease level, and filing requirements
• Pays a pro rata percentage of the scheduled value, reflecting the trust's funding levels relative to expected total claims
• Accepts claims on a rolling basis (with state-level statute of limitations governing the underlying tort claim)

Filing with multiple trusts (multi-trust strategy)

Most asbestos workers were exposed to products from 5 to 12 different companies during their careers. A boilermaker, for example, might have handled Babcock & Wilcox boilers, Owens Corning insulation, Pittsburgh Corning Unibestos pipe covering, Garlock gaskets, and Eagle-Picher refractory products — each covered by a separate bankruptcy trust.

Filing with all applicable trusts simultaneously is the standard approach and significantly increases total compensation. Take our eligibility quiz to identify all trusts your case may qualify for.
