The death of a loved one due to lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma, or any other disease caused by asbestos exposure is devastating for any family, not just because of the obvious emotional distress involved, but also due to the financial issues this can cause. When a person with an asbestos-related disease who starts a compensation claim passes away before the conclusion of the claim, a family member can continue the claim on his or her behalf.
