the Manville Trust

The Manville Trust was established to compensate individuals suffering from health issues caused by asbestos exposure, primarily related to the Manville Corporation, a major asbestos producer. When asbestos-related lawsuits overwhelmed the company financially, the trust was created through bankruptcy proceedings to provide a controlled, ongoing fund for affected claimants. It ensures that those harmed by asbestos exposure can receive financial support for their medical expenses and related needs, even after the company's collapse. The trust operates by evaluating claims, verifying asbestos exposure, and distributing funds accordingly, aiming to fairly and efficiently address the claims of affected individuals.
