Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring minerals that, once discovered, were widely used in a variety of products due to its natural resistance to heat, fire, and corrosion. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, asbestosis, or any other asbestos-related condition, you may be able to claim compensation through one or more of the established asbestos trust funds as well as VA claims.
