The Eagle-Picher Industries Personal Injury Settlement Trust was created to compensate people alleged to have been harmed by the asbestos products of Eagle-Picher. The existence of the trust reflects the resolution of the company’s asbestos liabilities in bankruptcy.
The Company and Its Bankruptcy
Eagle-Picher Industries was one of the earliest asbestos manufacturers to establish a trust — the Eagle-Picher Industries Personal Injury Settlement Trust, created in the mid-1990s.
The Asbestos Products
According to asbestos litigation, Eagle-Picher allegedly made insulating cements and high-temperature insulation (including One-Cote and Super 66) alleged to contain asbestos, used to insulate pipes, boilers, and industrial equipment.
What the Trust Covers
The trust pays qualifying claims from people alleged to have been exposed to Eagle-Picher insulating cements and insulation. Like other asbestos trust funds, it evaluates claims against its own published medical and exposure criteria and pays a scheduled value adjusted by a payment percentage. Whether a particular exposure history qualifies — and which trusts and defendants it may reach — is a case-specific question best evaluated by an experienced asbestos attorney.
Claims Are a Matter for an Experienced Attorney
Determining whether the Eagle-Picher Industries Personal Injury Settlement Trust applies to your situation, gathering the product-identification evidence involved, and pursuing a claim are not do-it-yourself tasks — they are the work of an experienced asbestos attorney, who can investigate an exposure history and identify every trust and defendant it may reach (a single history commonly reaches several).
