asbestos claims

Asbestos claims involve legal actions taken by individuals who have been harmed by exposure to asbestos, a mineral once commonly used in construction and manufacturing. When asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause serious health problems like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. People affected or their families file claims to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and suffering. These claims may be handled through lawsuits or asbestos trust funds established by companies that used asbestos, aiming to provide financial support to those affected.
