Kaiser Asbestos Trust

Kaiser Refractories is a division of Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation, headquartered in Oakland, California. Kaiser Aluminum was established in 1947 and became a major player in the aluminum industry. It was responsible for nearly every aspect of the aluminum production process, including mining, refining, manufacturing and fabricating aluminum products. The company produced approximately 500 million pounds of aluminum annually.

For many years, the company used asbestos in many of its products, including products used for automobiles, aerospace and the Navy. As people began to understand the link between asbestos exposure and the development of mesothelioma, asbestosis and other asbestos-related health conditions, they began to sue the companies responsible for this exposure. Facing daunting liability from a volume of claims related to asbestos exposure, the company declared bankruptcy in 2001. It later reemerged in 2006 and established the Kaiser Asbestos Trust Fund. It is considered an active trust with estimated funds of $1.2 billion. The trust is administered out of Princeton, New Jersey.

If you worked at Kaiser or any other location in Tempe where you believe you were exposed to asbestos, it is important that you contact a mesothelioma lawyer. Our attorneys are experienced at pursuing claims against asbestos trust funds and representing victims in court pursue maximum compensation for their injuries.
