Asbestos is a mineral found naturally in the crest of the earth. It's harmless when present in its natural state. But it becomes harmful when it gets pulled or grounded up into some flexible fibers for various purposes.

When these asbestos fibers are inhaled, it happens such that microscopic asbestos fibers are permanently affixed to body tissue.

As per the National Cancer Institute, it generally takes somewhere between 10 to 40 years for these asbestos related cancers to appear.

In order to take care of the victims of cancers and their families, Federal Bankruptcy Courts have come forward. They have asked asbestos manufacturers to set aside millions of dollars in private trusts.

By making such kind of trusts, cancer victims and their families can easily receive money against all the damages. They can receive money by filling their claims.

In order to help them, Norris Injury Lawyers have already announced the required initiative to assist Berkline Corporation employees to receive all the viable compensation through these asbestos trusts.

Also, please note that Cancer victims or the families of deceased victims who worked at the plant before 1981 may call 800-478-9578 for a free evaluation of their claim.
