At Clear Trust Claims, I serve as a paralegal
focused on helping individuals and families navigate the complex process of
filing asbestos trust claims. My work is driven by a passion for justice, a
commitment to detail, and a deep respect for the people we serve—many of whom
are veterans, tradespeople, or the families of those impacted by occupational
asbestos exposure.
Supporting
Victims of Asbestos Exposure
Many of the clients I work with have been
diagnosed with serious illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, or
asbestosis—diseases caused by asbestos exposure that often occurred decades ago
on job sites, in shipyards, or through building materials. These individuals
are eligible for compensation through numerous asbestos bankruptcy trusts, and
my job is to help them access those funds with clarity, care, and efficiency.
My Role
as a Paralegal
As a paralegal with a Bachelor of Science
degree in Paralegal Studies, I manage a wide range of responsibilities,
including:
●
Case Intake and Analysis
I gather medical documentation, employment and military service records,
affidavits, and other essential records to build a strong case profile for each
client.
●
Exposure Research and Trust Matching
I investigate our clients’ work history to determine which asbestos-containing
products they may have been exposed to, and which trusts may be applicable.
This often involves reviewing ship logs, plant records, and job descriptions
from decades past.
●
Claim Preparation and Filing
I prepare and submit claims to various asbestos trusts, ensuring all
documentation meets each trust’s unique criteria. Accuracy and completeness are
critical to avoid delays or denials.
●
Responding to Deficiencies and Appeals
When claims are challenged, I coordinate with attorneys and clients to respond
to deficiencies, submit supplemental evidence, or pursue appeals where
appropriate.
●
Client Support and Communication
I guide clients through every step of the process with transparency and
empathy. Many are navigating not only legal challenges but also medical or
emotional burdens, and I consider it an honor to support them during this time.
Why
This Work Matters
My work at Clear Trust Claims is more than a
legal process; it’s a way of helping people find relief, recognition, and
justice. Each claim represents a life impacted by asbestos exposure, and I
approach every case with the care and respect it deserves. Whether it’s
securing compensation for a retired shipyard worker or helping a widow receive
support for her family, I am proud to stand beside our clients in their pursuit
of accountability and closure.
