Who Should File a Claim
Now that you have an understanding of the history of Rapid-American, let’s explore who is eligible to file a claim with the Trust.
The Trust is designed to provide compensation for those who have an injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products sold, manufactured, supplied, produced, distributed, released, advertised or marketed by The Philip Carey Manufacturing Company before June 1, 1967. The Trust also protects those who are not presently injured but may develop an asbestos-related disease in the future due to exposure.
- If you are unsure of your eligibility, you may still file a claim with the Trust. Your claim will be reviewed and we will determine your eligibility.
All claims must be filed by November 28, 2023 (the “Trust Filing Deadline”) and any claim review deficiency must be cured by May 28, 2024.
