Identify the companies that made or sold these products
File a lung cancer lawsuit on your family’s behalf
Fight for compensation to cover medical bills, lost wages, and more

Types of Asbestos Claims Lung Disease Law Firms Handle

At Sokolove Law, our attorneys will file any and all types of claims that you qualify for to help maximize the lung cancer compensation you may receive.

Lung cancer law firms can file the following types of claims:

Lung cancer lawsuits: These are filed on behalf of lung cancer patients and seek to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other expenses.
Wrongful death lawsuits: We may be able to file an asbestos claim after the death of a loved one, so families can afford funeral expenses, cover outstanding medical costs, and get closure.
Asbestos trust fund claims: These are filed with trusts established by bankrupt asbestos-related companies to pursue compensation without going to court. There is an estimated $30 Billion still available across all asbestos trust funds today.
Class action lawsuits: These are rarely filed since individual lung cancer and mesothelioma lawsuits allow your case to get the personalized attention and care it deserves.
Asbestos VA benefits: Veterans who developed lung cancer or mesothelioma may qualify for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), like monthly disability payments worth over $3,800 and free health care.

What is the lawsuit for lung cancer?

Lung cancer lawsuits allow patients and families to seek compensation from the manufacturers of asbestos-containing products. Many manufacturers knew that asbestos products were harmful but hid the health risks for decades.

Asbestos worsens the damage caused by smoking, increasing the risk of lung cancer. It can also cause lung cancer in nonsmokers. Despite these risks, companies failed to provide warnings or protective equipment to many workers.

At Sokolove Law, we can help you and your family file lung cancer lawsuits against these companies to get money for medical bills, lost wages, basic living expenses, and any other costs.

How can I find a lung cancer law firm near me?

As a leading national asbestos law firm for lung diseases, Sokolove Law can help clients in all 50 states pursue justice and compensation. This means we’re ready to help you with your claim no matter where you live.

Call (800) 647-3434 now to determine if Sokolove Law is the right asbestos lung cancer law firm for you. There is no cost to speak with our team.

What is the lung cancer compensation trust fund?

Lung cancer compensation trust funds were established by manufacturers of asbestos-containing products. There are dozens of active trusts today with an estimated $30 Billion still available.

These companies filed for bankruptcy protection to avoid lawsuits, but courts ordered them to set money aside into trusts to pay those who got sick from their products.

At Sokolove Law, our lung cancer attorneys can file claims with any trusts you qualify for, depending on which asbestos-containing products you were exposed to.

What is the average payout for lung cancer?

The average lung cancer lawsuit payout is around $100,000, but we’ve been able to secure results worth $1 Million or more for many clients.

Many unique factors, including which asbestos-containing materials you were exposed to and your treatment expenses, can impact how much lung cancer compensation you may receive. Top law firms for lung conditions will fight for the highest payouts in your case.

What type of lung cancer does asbestos cause?

Asbestos exposure can cause any type of lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma.

Mesothelioma is sometimes mistaken for lung cancer. While both can be caused by asbestos, mesothelioma forms in the linings of the lungs and other organs. Lung cancer starts in the lungs themselves.

At Sokolove Law, we may be able to help you pursue compensation for any type of asbestos-related lung cancer, mesothelioma, or other asbestos-related diseases.

What is the disability rating for lung cancer?

The VA considers active lung cancer to be a 100% disability, meaning U.S. veterans can receive the highest monthly disability payouts. As of 2025, lung cancer VA disability compensation is worth over $3,800 a month or more.

At Sokolove Law, our lung tumor law firm can also help veterans with lung cancer pursue additional compensation from lawsuits and asbestos trust fund claims — with no impact to their VA benefits. Not every firm is able to maximize clients' compensation by pursuing every available source like we can.
