Introduction to Yarway Asbestos Trust

Established in 2015 following the confirmation of Yarway Corporation's Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization, the Yarway Asbestos Personal Injury Trust aims to facilitate and handle asbestos-related personal injury claims in line with its Trust Distribution Procedures.

Yarway Asbestos Trust Purpose and Functions

The primary objective of the Yarway Asbestos Personal Injury Trust is to ensure the efficient processing and disbursement of genuine asbestos personal injury claims. Born out of the Yarway Corporation's reorganization strategy, this Trust operates as per set guidelines and principles outlined in the Trust Distribution Procedures. Its creation ensures that victims of asbestos-related injuries are provided an avenue to seek compensation.

Yarway Asbestos Trust Claim Submission and Resolution

Potential claimants can submit their claims to the Trust post-December 21, 2015. To streamline the process, the Trust has laid out specific protocols which encompass submission methods like electronic filing and the necessary documentation like the claim form. Between December 21, 2015, and June 20, 2016, any claims submitted are deemed to have been filed on the Initial Claim Filing Date, which is June 20, 2016.

Such claims undergo processing in the sequence determined by Section 5.1(a)(1) of the Trust Distribution Procedures. Pertinent resources, including submission guidelines, forms, and other relevant information, are readily accessible on the Trust's official website Resources page.
