We can figure out how you may have been exposed to asbestos by looking into your work history and background. Even being exposed just once can result in a serious illness.

3 Types of Lung Cancer Compensation
There are multiple types of lung cancer compensation that may be available to patients and their loved ones, including lung cancer settlements, asbestos trust funds, and VA benefits.
Our team can identify all of the options you qualify for and pursue compensation from each to maximize your total payout.
1. Lung Cancer Lawsuit Settlements & Verdicts
Lung cancer patients may be able to file lawsuits against the asbestos-related companies responsible for their exposure. These lawsuits award $100,000 on average, but we've secured over $1 Million in some cases.
If a patient passes away, their spouse, children, family members, or estate representatives may be able to secure lung cancer compensation from an asbestos wrongful death lawsuit.
Many families start receiving asbestos lung cancer compensation in as few as 90 days.
2. Asbestos Lung Cancer Compensation Trust Fund
There’s currently an estimated $30 Billion still available for lung cancer patients and their loved ones in asbestos trust funds.
Many asbestos-related companies filed for bankruptcy to avoid lawsuits, but courts ordered them to create trust funds to pay current and future victims.
These claims can be filed from the comfort of your own home. Find out if you can access trust fund compensation for lung cancer with our help now.
3. VA Compensation for Lung Cancer
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has assigned service-related lung cancer a 100% disability rating. Eligible veterans can receive over $3,700 a month and free health care from VA benefits.
Asbestos was widely used across all branches of the military until the early 1980s, putting U.S. veterans at a greater risk of developing illnesses like lung cancer and mesothelioma.
We have VA-accredited attorneys on staff who can help you file a VA benefits claim or increase your current disability rating.

What Determines Compensation for Lung Cancer?
A wide range of factors can impact how much lung cancer compensation may be available in your case.
Lung cancer compensation amounts are influenced by:
- How many products you were exposed to: We can seek payouts from each of the companies that made or sold the asbestos-containing products you were exposed to.
- The stage and severity of your cancer: More advanced stages of lung cancer may lead to higher compensation because of how they impact your potential quality of life.
- Treatment costs: Financial aid for lung cancer patients takes into account medical bills, including surgeries, medications, and other treatments.
- Your ability to earn an income: Many lung cancer patients are unable to continue working, but compensation from a legal claim can make up for lost wages.
- Whether you’re a veteran: U.S. military veterans may be eligible for additional lung cancer compensation through VA benefits.
- The experience of your lawyer: Attorneys who have spent decades handling cases like yours have the skills and resources needed to get you the money you deserve.
