Filing a claim with the ASARCO trust
- Get a written diagnosis from a doctor, supported by an exam or pathology report.
- Collect records showing the person worked around or with company products, like sales, construction, or employment files.
- A law firm files most claims online, and Verus LLC handles processing for the ASARCO trust. The trust's own form is used to file the claim along with those records.
- Since each trust covers only a portion of a claim, you should file with the other trusts in your work history at the same time.
