A. No. Many companies have set up trust funds to pay mesothelioma victims. These companies made or sold asbestos-containing products knowing that the products would later harm people.  The companies did not voluntarily establish trust funds, but only did so after being ordered by a court or courts.  Trust fund claims do not require you to go to court or file a lawsuit.  Again, if you wait too long, you may not be able to recover compensation. 

A. No. The family may still be entitled to compensation even if the mesothelioma victim has already passed. However, if you wait too long, these claims may be barred.
