These trusts are created to pay victims for past as well as future medical expenses as well as loss of income, loss of household services and travel costs that are associated with their treatment. They can also pay funeral costs if a loved one has passed away due to an asbestos-related illness. The timeline to receive a payout from the asbestos trusts varies by case.
