Instructions for Filing a Claim
The Review process is designed primarily to provide an expeditious, efficient and inexpensive method of liquidating all claims where the claim can be easily verified as meeting presumptive medical and exposure criteria. This process is also intended to provide qualifying Claimants with fixed and certain claim payments.
How to Initiate a Claim
If a Claimant is qualified and elects to file a claim, he or she must file a complete Claim Form and submit all supporting documentation indicated.
Where to Submit Claim Forms
All paper submissions to the Rapid-American Asbestos Personal Injury Liquidating Trust should be addressed to:
Rapid-American Asbestos Personal Injury Liquidating Trust
P.O. Box 1190
Wilmington, DE 19899-1190
How to Qualify for Payment
To qualify for payment, a Claimant must provide credible medical and exposure evidence and a submission deemed to be complete by the Trust. After the liquidated value of a claim is determined and a release is executed and delivered to the Trust, the claimant shall ultimately receive a pro-rata share of that value based on the Trust Assets available for payment of the claim.
Deadline for Submitting a Claim Form
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.
