Asbestos exposure is still causing serious health problems like lung cancer and mesothelioma, even years after its use was reduced. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a health issue linked to asbestos, you may be able to take legal action and get compensation.
Class Action Winning is here to help guide you through the process.
How People Are Taking Legal Action
🧑⚖️ Lawsuits Against Companies
People who were exposed to asbestos are suing the companies responsible. These lawsuits help victims get money for:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
Example: A woman in South Carolina won $1.75 million after her husband died from mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure.
🏦 Asbestos Trust Funds
Some companies filed for bankruptcy and created trust funds to pay victims. These funds can be complicated to access, but a lawyer can help you file a claim and get paid.
