Attorneys take into account the cost of treatment and other costs when negotiating to ensure that patients have enough money to pay for medical expenses. Asbestos-related victims may also be able to file claims through trust funds established for patients diagnosed with mesothelioma as well as other asbestos-related diseases.
Certain trusts are empty, while some continue to pay large amounts of money. For instance, in 2018 an appeals court in the United States awarded $70 million to the family of an U.S. Navy machinist who developed mesothelioma after working with gaskets made by John Crane Inc.
