The DII Industries Asbestos Trust is a Pennsylvania common law trust, and is a “Qualified Settlement Fund” in connection with the Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization for DII Industries, LLC, formerly Dresser Industries. 

DII Industries Trust pays out claims related to Harbison-Walker Refractories, Dresser Industries and Halliburton. The following equipment was used by Halliburton and may have contained asbestos:

  • Compressors
  • Pumps
  • Insulation
  • Turbines

Halliburton, DII Industries, Dresser, Harbison-Walker or Kellogg Brown & Root workers may have been at particularly high asbestos exposure risk risk. Occupations that were at very high risk for exposure include:

  • Boilermakers
  • Drilling crews
  • Engineers
  • Electricians
  • Iron workers
  • Pipeline construction workers
  • Transport drivers

The oil and gas industry widely used asbestos in piping and in a variety of machinery and equipment. With these uses alone, tens of thousands of workers were widely exposed to toxins and now risk developing fatal diseases like mesothelioma and lung cancer.

    Identify Where Asbestos Exposure Occurred

    Common Areas of Asbestos Exposure

    Most deaths from malignant mesothelioma in the United States are the result of exposures to asbestos decades prior. However, the continuing occurrence of mesothelioma deaths among persons under the age of 55 suggests ongoing occupational and environmental exposures to asbestos fibers. 

    According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), there are 75 different jobs that could have exposed workers to asbestos, with those jobs primarily involving construction and manufacturing. Thousands of American workers are still affected by asbestos each year. 

    Our Firm can help you identify the exposure sources and then initiate the proper claims so that will provide the security you and your family require.

    Asbestos Trust Fund Questions

    How do asbestos trust funds work?

    Asbestos trusts exist to provide compensation to victims of toxic occupational exposure and their families. Trust funds provided companies with a way to handle thousands of asbestos claims, as well as future cancer claims. Many companies filed for bankruptcy in an attempt to survive as an entity, and to help victims with medical costs. 

    Can I File a Cancer Claim by Myself?

    Yes, you do not by law need a lawyer to process a claim, however, our legal team is posed to get you the maximum payout and our fees are capped. Contact us with your work history and medical records. 

    What is the average asbestos trust payout?

    As a median payout, plaintiffs are awarded $180,000, however this varies greatly with diagnosis and your specific work history. The Lyon Firm has settled cases for well over a million.
