Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts and Tort Compensation

By Lloyd S. Dixon and Geoffrey McGovern

Asbestos bankruptcy trusts play an important role in compensating asbestos injuries. This monograph examines how state tort laws address compensation paid by trusts and the evidence submitted in trust claim forms, how court proceedings take this evidence and compensation into account, and how the establishment of the trusts potentially affects compensation.
