Asbestos & Mesothelioma Lawsuit

If you were exposed to asbestos through your job, military service, or a consumer product and later diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, you may qualify for compensation.

What's behind the asbestos claims?

Asbestos is a mineral fiber once widely used for insulation, fireproofing, and industrial manufacturing because of its heat resistance. Decades of research have since linked inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other serious lung and abdominal diseases, often appearing 10 to 50 years after exposure. Because so many companies manufactured, sold, or used asbestos-containing products over the twentieth century, claims against those companies are among the longest-running mass litigation in the country, and several manufacturers have set up dedicated bankruptcy trusts specifically to pay out claims.

Companies continue to face new asbestos claims and, in some cases, bankruptcy filings tied to legacy asbestos liabilities — including a major filing in 2026 covering more than 35,000 pending cases against a former tire and rubber manufacturer.

Who this may affect

  • Worked in construction, shipbuilding, manufacturing, firefighting, or the military, particularly before the 1980s
  • Regularly handled insulation, brake parts, textiles, or other products later found to contain asbestos
  • Later diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis

Where things stand

In July 2026, Uniroyal Holding filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey specifically to resolve more than 35,000 pending asbestos claims through a negotiated trust, one of dozens of asbestos bankruptcy trusts now operating across different manufacturers. Because deadlines and available trusts vary significantly depending on the products and companies involved in a given exposure history, a free eligibility review is the fastest way to find out what may apply to your situation.
