Understanding Asbestos Trust Fund Claims
In Canada, individuals exposed to asbestos decades ago are now battling severe health issues like mesothelioma and other forms of cancer. Choosing the right legal path is crucial. Unlike American firms that lack Canadian licensure, our legal team has the local experierence to maximize your compensation. Many seek workers’ compensation in these cases. However, that can be a mistake. Workers’ comp is designed to protect employers and offers minimal payout. Since you cannot pursue compensation from an asbestos trust and a workers’ compensation package simultaneously, you might be leaving money on the table.

Asbestos Continues to Be a Health Concern
Canada’s history with asbestos goes back to 1850, when it was first discovered in Quebec. Three decades later, it was a major export for the country before it began to be phased out in the 1980s because of the health concerns it was linked to. NT isn’t as well-known for asbestos mining as some of Canada’s other territories, but asbestos exposure is a concern all across the country. Even with it being phased out, as recently as 2014, the NT government was fined on two separate occasions for exposing employees without protective gear.
