of rising health care costs.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how lawsuit compensation, trust fund claims, and veterans benefits can help you or someone you know achieve financial relief and <strong>peace of mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-court\">1. Mesothelioma Lawsuits<\/h3>\n<p>Filing a <a href=\"\/legal\/lawsuit\/\">mesothelioma lawsuit<\/a> allows you to seek justice for yourself or on behalf of a loved one who got sick after exposure to asbestos products.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all mesothelioma lawsuits are settled out of court, with an average settlement <strong>between $1 million to $1.4 million<\/strong>, allowing you to receive compensation without going to trial.<\/p>\n<p>Working with a mesothelioma lawyer can eliminate the hassle of filing a lawsuit. Your lawyer will handle the legal heavy lifting while you focus on your health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Mesothelioma Hope has partnered with top asbestos law firm Simmons Hanly Conroy to help victims and loved ones get justice and compensation. To date, the firm has secured over<strong> $10.3 billion<\/strong> in mesothelioma settlements and verdicts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-settlement\">2. Asbestos Trust Fund Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Starting in the early 1980s, the U.S. court system forced asbestos product manufacturers \u2014 who avoided lawsuits by filing for bankruptcy \u2014 to deposit money in special trusts for current and future victims of asbestos-related diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Today, over $30 billion is set aside in <a href=\"\/legal\/asbestos-trust-funds\/\">asbestos trust funds.<\/a> You may be able to access a portion of this money if you or a loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma.<\/p>\n<p>Asbestos victims are often qualified to file claims with multiple trusts, and many of them start receiving their first payouts in 90 days or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our team can file asbestos trust fund claims on your behalf while you focus on treatment<\/strong> \u2014 <a href=\"\/access-asbestos-trust-funds\/\">see if you qualify now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-military-medal\">3. Veterans Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>If you or a loved one developed mesothelioma cancer from service-related asbestos exposure, you can pursue financial support and free or low-cost medical care through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).<\/p>\n<p>Veterans with mesothelioma almost always qualify for <a href=\"\/veterans\/va-benefits\/disability\/\">disability benefits<\/a>, which can pay over <strong>$4,000 a month<\/strong> if you\u2019re married.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other VA benefits that offer mesothelioma financial assistance include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aid &amp;
