the preventable loss of your loved one, it can help alleviate any financial stress and worries after their death.<\/p>\n<h2>3 Types of Asbestos Wrongful Death Claims<\/h2>\n<p>There are three main types of asbestos claims that you may qualify to file after losing a loved one to an asbestos-related disease. Learn about each type of claim below.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Mesothelioma Lawsuits<\/h3>\n<p>Through a <a href=\"\/legal\/lawsuit\/wrongful-death\/\">mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuit<\/a>, you can hold the manufacturers of asbestos-containing products legally accountable for your loved one\u2019s passing. These lawsuits are filed against any manufacturers that made and sold the asbestos products your loved one was exposed to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuits award compensation for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Funeral and burial costs<\/li>\n<li>Lingering medical bills<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages from time off work<\/li>\n<li>Pain and suffering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By working with our partner <a href=\"\/legal\/mesothelioma-law-firm\/\">mesothelioma law firm<\/a> to file wrongful death lawsuits, many other families secured<strong> millions of dollars<\/strong>, with the first payments often awarded in 90 days or less.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Asbestos Trust Funds<\/h3>\n<p>Many manufacturers of asbestos-containing products filed for bankruptcy to avoid lawsuits, but the U.S. court system forced them to set up trusts to stay in business.<\/p>\n<p>There is more than <strong>$30 billion<\/strong> set aside in <a href=\"\/legal\/asbestos-trust-funds\/\">asbestos trust funds<\/a> today.
