The Risks of Asbestos Exposure

The Occupational Health and Safety Act outlines clear guidelines and rates different levels of risk for working with asbestos. These pertain to every industry. Whether your working conditions include a low, moderate, or high risk, your employer is responsible for providing the proper safety equipment and training while carrying the proper certification when working with asbestos. Many of the dangers of working with asbestos weren’t discussed openly in past decades. This left a large number of the workforce unprotected from the various types of mesothelioma airborne fibres can cause. No matter how long ago you were exposed to asbestos at work, you’re still eligible to file a claim with an asbestos trust fund if you have a documented case of mesothelioma.

Understanding Asbestos Trust Funds

As lawsuits against companies for asbestos exposure began to mount, and many were forced into bankruptcy, trusts were set up to handle the compensation payments awarded to mesothelioma patients. These differ from workers’ compensation claims, and as a victim, you can only choose to make a claim from an asbestos trust or file for workers’ comp. Laws don’t allow you to do both. Since workers’ compensation is insurance that employers take out to protect themselves, insurers fight to pay as little as possible to victims in order to protect their clients, the employer. As a victim, you’re likely to receive more from an asbestos trust fund, and you can apply to as many funds as you’re eligible. Our experience ensures you and your family can take advantage of everything available to you in your situation.
