Narragansett Bay organizes Rhode Island's working history. The Navy held the mouth of the bay at Newport and its western shore at Quonset Point and Davisville. Providence, at its head, filled with jewelry and silverware shops, machine-tool works, rubber plants, and the power stations that ran them, and the rivers that drain into the bay, the Blackstone above all, turned the wheels of the country's first textile mills. Every one of those places ran on steam, and asbestos is what kept the steam in the pipes. Read against the trusts' lists, the bay divides into:
- Newport and Aquidneck Island — the Newport naval base, the old training station on Coasters Harbor Island, and the torpedo station on Goat Island;
- Quonset Point and Davisville — Naval Air Station Quonset Point and the Seabees' construction battalion center beside it;
- Providence's factories and power stations — Gorham's silverware works, Brown & Sharpe's machine shops, and Narragansett Electric's Manchester Street station;
- Providence's hospitals and colleges — Rhode Island Hospital, Roger Williams Hospital, and Brown University;
- the Blackstone Valley — the Owens-Corning Fiberglas plant at Ashton and Pawtucket's gas and electric works; and
- Cranston and Coventry — the Narragansett Brewing Company, Star City Glass, and American Hoechst.
When these companies went bankrupt, the trusts set up to pay their asbestos claims each published a list of locations where its products were proven to be present. For Rhode Island, those lists hold 528 entries across 72 communities, from 22 asbestos trusts. One plant can appear many times, under different names or on different trusts' lists. More than a dozen of our clients worked at Rhode Island job sites.
Every asbestos trust claim has to prove two things: that a company's asbestos-containing product was present at a job site, and that the worker handled that product, or worked close enough to it, to breathe its dust. If you or your loved one worked at a site on those lists during the applicable years, the first half is already established, because the trust has acknowledged its products were there.
We help workers who are alive and recently diagnosed, adult children and spouses researching on behalf of someone who is sick, and families of workers who have already passed away from mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. If you are a worker who has just been diagnosed, calling early keeps more options open for your family. There is still a claim to be made for families of workers who have already passed; we handle wrongful death cases routinely.
You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
Rhode Island filing deadlines and trust eligibility, in brief
Rhode Island gives a diagnosed worker three years to file a personal-injury claim. Exactly when the clock starts varies, so to be safe, count from the date of diagnosis. If an earlier X-ray, CT scan or screening showed asbestos-related scarring, a Rhode Island court may count the three years from that earlier finding, so call us right away. After a death, the family usually has three years from the date of death. If your loved one is alive and diagnosed, calling early keeps more options open.
Rhode Island deadlines, the wrongful-death rule, and how they apply to your family
Most workers exposed before 1983 can also file against the Johns-Manville Settlement Trust independently of anything documented at a specific site. How trust eligibility works.
We help families of workers who have already passed away. Wrongful death cases are a routine part of our practice.
Free family asbestos health screening. Our representation includes free asbestos health screening for family members of every client who may have been exposed at home through asbestos brought back on a worker's clothing, hair, or vehicle. The screening is a chest X-ray read by a B-reader, with a CT scan if needed; it looks for asbestos-related changes in the lungs and isn't a diagnosis or a reliable way to find mesothelioma early.
The sites profiled below show confirmed asbestos products based on the asbestos trusts established for companies that did business there. Those trusts exist because Clarence Borel, a Gulf Coast insulator, chose to sue in 1969 — not for himself, but because he realized his coworkers would die the same way he was dying. His decision created the legal framework that produced the trust system you're about to scan.
Today the choice is yours. You can file trust claims based on the documented exposure at your loved one's worksite — paper claims, no courtroom. Or you can follow Clarence Borel and also sue the manufacturers and premises owners directly, which allows us to build a full exposure profile for every site your loved one worked at and recover from defendants the trust system doesn't reach. Read his story.
Asbestos trust coverage across Rhode Island
The Johns-Manville Settlement Trust is open to most workers exposed before 1983, regardless of which specific worksite the exposure occurred at. Johns-Manville supplied so much asbestos and so many asbestos products across so many American industries that the trust does not require site-specific documentation. For mesothelioma claims, even one day of asbestos exposure before December 31, 1982 (at work or through a family member's work clothes brought into the home) can qualify a worker for Johns-Manville Settlement Trust compensation.
For lung cancer, asbestosis, and other non-mesothelioma asbestos diseases, the threshold is 60 months of total asbestos exposure with at least 6 months occurring before December 31, 1982. The one-day-of-exposure threshold for mesothelioma reflects how the disease actually develops (even brief exposure can cause it) and most major asbestos trusts apply similarly low-threshold eligibility for mesothelioma claims.
Because Johns-Manville keeps no site list of its own, every worksite on another trust's list also qualifies for Johns-Manville. Twenty-one other trusts list Rhode Island worksites. The number of Rhode Island entries on each trust's list:
- Johns-Manville: no list of its own; every site on the other trusts' lists qualifies
- Babcock & Wilcox: 319 entries (industrial and utility boilers)
- Owens Corning: 51 entries (Kaylo and high-temperature pipe and block insulation)
- Fibreboard: 28 entries (Pabco pipe and block insulation)
- A.P. Green: 20 entries (refractory brick, castables and cements)
- Armstrong World Industries: 19 entries (insulation contracting and floor products)
- ACandS: 16 entries (insulation contracting)
- Combustion Engineering: 16 entries (boilers and refractory)
- GAF: 12 entries (roofing and building products)
- Eagle-Picher: 11 entries (insulating cements and pipe covering)
- DII Industries (Halliburton): 8 entries (pumps, compressors and oilfield equipment)
- Owens-Illinois: 7 entries (Kaylo pipe and block insulation)
- U.S. Gypsum: 5 entries (joint compound, plaster and acoustical products)
- NARCO: 3 entries (refractory gun mixes and castables)
- W.R. Grace: 3 entries (Monokote spray fireproofing and Zonolite)
- ASARCO: 2 entries (asbestos mining and smelting)
- Pittsburgh Corning: 2 entries (Unibestos pipe insulation)
- Turner & Newall: 2 entries (Limpet sprayed asbestos and asbestos textiles)
- ABB Lummus: 1 entry (refinery and petrochemical engineering)
- DII Industries (Harbison-Walker): 1 entry (refractory brick and castables)
- Kaiser Aluminum: 1 entry (refractory and insulating products)
- Plibrico: 1 entry (refractory plastics and castables)
Trust coverage at this depth means most Rhode Island workers with significant industrial exposure histories will have claims against multiple trusts — typically Johns-Manville plus the site-specific trusts documented at their worksites.
Rhode Island cities and their industries
Open a city to see the worksites there that the asbestos trusts recognize, grouped by industry, with why each industry used asbestos.
ProvidenceThe capital was Rhode Island's workshop: Gorham's silverware works, Brown & Sharpe's machine tools, the U.S. Rubber plant, and Narragansett Electric's waterfront stations, alongside the hospitals and colleges whose boiler plants appear on the trusts' lists.
Public and commercial buildings. Office towers, hospitals, schools, hotels, and government buildings were built with asbestos fireproofing, insulation, plaster, and floor tile, exposing the trades who built and renovated them and the maintenance crews who kept their boilers and steam lines running.

Mesothelioma settlement values at Rhode Island's most-documented worksites
These worksites appear on the approved-site lists of at least two trusts besides Johns-Manville. Trust counts are minimums: a trust may list a site under a name we haven't yet matched to it. The years are the exposure window the trusts' lists recognize at each site; most lists end at 1982.
Open a worksite to see each trust that lists it, with the mesothelioma values the trust publishes and its current payment percentage. "Trust values together" adds up those trusts' values at their payment percentages: the low figure uses each trust's scheduled value, the high figure each trust's published maximum, which Individual Review can reach. Most mesothelioma claims are paid above the scheduled value. But each trust sets its own eligibility rules — the years, the work, and the length of exposure it requires — so few people qualify for every trust on a list, some trusts publish no fixed schedule, and these figures are not a prediction of any recovery. All trust values and payment percentages.

A closer look at major Rhode Island worksites
The worksites below are recognized by the most asbestos trusts in Rhode Island — five or more, counting Johns-Manville. Each profile draws on the trust signatures present at the site to identify the products workers handled, the trades most heavily exposed, and the asbestos types they likely encountered. Your specific worksite may be documented even if it doesn't appear here — call us.
Newport Naval Base (Naval Station Newport) — Newport
The Navy has been on Aquidneck Island since the nineteenth century, and Naval Station Newport is home to the Naval War College, founded in 1884. The trusts list the base under Newport Naval Base, U.S. Naval Base, Naval Station Newport, and plain "United States Navy," with entries for its shipyard, hospital, academic buildings, and the Marine Barracks' underground steam lines; we treat these as one site. The base's older commands, the Naval Training Station on Coasters Harbor Island, the Naval Torpedo Station on Goat Island, the Naval Underwater Ordnance Station at Coddington Cove, and the Naval Supply Depot, are listed separately and appear in the table above.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, refractory workers, machinist's mates, sheet-metal workers, electricians, and the federal civilian maintenance trades who serviced the underground steam lines, boiler plants, and academic and barracks buildings.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 8 asbestos trusts — ACandS, A.P. Green, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Fibreboard, Owens Corning, U.S. Gypsum, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1947 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Babcock & Wilcox boilers raised the base's steam, with A.P. Green refractory in their furnaces and gaskets and packing on every valve, pump, and steam connection. Owens Corning's Kaylo line, its high-temperature grades made with amosite (brown asbestos), and Fibreboard pipe and block insulation covered the steam and condensate lines, and the ACandS and Armstrong signatures point to insulation contracting crews in the base's academic buildings. U.S. Gypsum's listing is for the shipyard, where its joint compound and plaster went into construction and repair work. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Rhode Island Hospital — Providence
Rhode Island Hospital, chartered in 1863, is the state's largest hospital and a teaching hospital of Brown University's medical school. The trusts list the main hospital and several of its buildings, including the Ambulatory Building, the Hematology Laboratory, and the underground radiology facility. The Rhode Island Hospital Trust building on Westminster Street, a bank building that shares the name, is listed separately.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, refractory workers, ironworkers, electricians, sheet-metal workers, maintenance and engineering staff, and the construction trades who worked through repeated renovation cycles.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 7 asbestos trusts — ACandS, A.P. Green, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Fibreboard, W.R. Grace, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1951 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Babcock & Wilcox boilers ran the hospital powerhouse, with A.P. Green refractory in the furnaces and gaskets and packing on the steam connections. Fibreboard pipe and block insulation, its high-temperature grades made with amosite (brown asbestos), covered the steam lines, and ACandS and Armstrong insulation crews worked the new buildings of the late 1960s and early 1970s. W.R. Grace Monokote spray fireproofing went onto structural steel; it was made with Libby vermiculite contaminated with tremolite, so renovation and demolition crews were exposed long after it was sprayed. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Naval Air Station Quonset Point — Quonset Point
Naval Air Station Quonset Point, on Narragansett Bay in North Kingstown, opened in 1941 and closed in 1974; the Quonset hut takes its name from it. The trusts file it under Quonset Point, Davisville, and North Kingstown; it is one facility. The Seabees' Naval Construction Battalion Center at Davisville, next door, is listed separately.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, aircraft mechanics, machinists, electricians, and the federal civilian maintenance and construction trades who built the station and kept its boiler plants, hangars, and shops running.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 7 asbestos trusts — ABB Lummus, Combustion Engineering, DII Industries (Halliburton), GAF, Owens Corning, Owens-Illinois, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1940 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Combustion Engineering boilers carried pipe and block insulation, refractory, and gaskets and packing. Because the Owens-Illinois trust signature is present, Owens-Illinois Kaylo high-temperature pipe insulation, an amosite (brown asbestos) product, was used at this site during the 1948–1958 manufacturing window, with Owens Corning continuing the Kaylo line afterward. ABB Lummus did engineering and construction work at the station, GAF documentation points to roofing felts and mastics, and the Halliburton signature reflects pumps and compressors from Ingersoll, Dresser, Pacific, and Worthington. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
U.S. Rubber Company (Uniroyal) — Providence
The U.S. Rubber Company, which adopted the Uniroyal name in the 1960s, operated in Providence for decades. The trusts list it as United States Rubber Company, U.S. Rubber, U.S. Rubber Products, and Uniroyal; we treat these as one site. U.S. Rubber's plant in Bristol is listed separately.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, press and curing-room operators, millwrights, mechanics, electricians, and maintenance crews.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 6 asbestos trusts — ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, DII Industries (Halliburton), Fibreboard, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1936 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Rubber plants run on steam: Babcock & Wilcox boilers fed steam-heated presses, mills, and curing equipment, with gaskets and packing at every connection. Fibreboard pipe and block insulation, its high-temperature grades made with amosite (brown asbestos), covered the steam lines, the ACandS and Armstrong signatures point to insulation contracting crews at the plant, and the Halliburton signature reflects pumps and compressors. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Owens-Corning Fiberglas plant — Ashton
Owens-Corning Fiberglas operated a plant at Ashton, a village of Cumberland on the Blackstone River. Owens Corning was itself one of the country's major asbestos product makers, and its own bankruptcy trust is among the largest. The trusts list the plant as Owens Corning, Owens-Corning Fiberglas, and Owens Corning Fiberglass; it is one facility. The neighboring Synthron plant is listed separately.
Workers exposed. Production-line workers, mechanics, pipefitters, insulators, boilermakers, and the maintenance trades.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 5 asbestos trusts — Eagle-Picher, Fibreboard, Owens Corning, Owens-Illinois, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1954 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Because the Owens-Illinois trust signature is present, Owens-Illinois Kaylo high-temperature pipe insulation, an amosite (brown asbestos) product, was used at this site during the 1948–1958 manufacturing window, with Owens Corning continuing the Kaylo line afterward. Fibreboard pipe and block insulation and Eagle-Picher One-Cote magnesia insulating cement covered the plant's steam and process piping, with gaskets and packing on its connections. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Brown University — Providence
Brown University, founded in 1764, is listed for its central heating plant (the Aldrich-Dexter Field heating station), its high-temperature hot-water system, and its Bio-Medical Building, as well as the campus in general.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, steamfitters, insulators, electricians, the construction trades who built and renovated campus buildings, and the university's own maintenance and heating-plant staff.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 5 asbestos trusts — ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, GAF, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1960 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Babcock & Wilcox boilers in the heating station carried pipe and block insulation, refractory, and gaskets and packing. The Armstrong signature is for the high-temperature hot-water system that carried heat across the campus, insulated with pipe covering whose high-temperature grades were made with amosite (brown asbestos), and ACandS crews insulated the Bio-Medical Building. GAF documentation points to roofing felts and mastics. Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Narragansett Electric — Manchester Street Station — Providence
The Manchester Street Station on the Providence waterfront is one of Narragansett Electric's historic generating stations; Narragansett Electric is today Rhode Island Energy. The trusts list it as Narragansett Electric Company — Manchester Street Station and Manchester St.; it is one facility. The company's South Street station, also in Providence, is listed separately, by four trusts.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, refractory workers, turbine mechanics, electricians, instrument technicians, and the operating engineers who ran the plant.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 5 asbestos trusts — ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Combustion Engineering, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1907 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. The Babcock & Wilcox and Combustion Engineering signatures reflect the station's boilers, with their pipe and block insulation, refractory, and gaskets and packing on casings, breeching, and access doors. The ACandS and Armstrong signatures point to insulation contracting crews at the plant in the 1960s and 1970s; the high-temperature pipe covering on the steam and turbine lines was made with amosite (brown asbestos). Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.
Roger Williams Hospital — Providence
Roger Williams Hospital is a Providence general hospital, today Roger Williams Medical Center. The trusts list it as Roger Williams General Hospital, Roger Williams Hospital (including a laboratory), and Roger Williams Medical Center; it is one facility.
Workers exposed. Boilermakers, pipefitters, insulators, maintenance engineers, and the construction trades who worked through the hospital's renovation cycles.
Trust documentation: recognized by at least 5 asbestos trusts — ACandS, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Eagle-Picher, and Johns-Manville. The trusts' lists document their products here from 1963 through 1982.
Products, trust signatures, and asbestos types. Babcock & Wilcox boilers ran the hospital's steam plant, with gaskets and packing on the steam connections, and Eagle-Picher insulating cement covered fittings and boiler surfaces. ACandS and Armstrong crews installed pipe and block insulation in the hospital and its laboratory in the early 1970s, its high-temperature grades made with amosite (brown asbestos). Chrysotile (white asbestos) ran through most of these product categories.

Don't see your worksite?
Your worksite may be documented even if it doesn't appear on this page. If your loved one worked at a Rhode Island facility not listed, call us. Johns-Manville requires no site list at all, and we can often document exposure through the products, contractors, and equipment at a site even when no trust lists it by name.
Smaller worksites, contract jobs, short-tenure employment, and exposures across multiple sites are all part of the case-building process. Many Rhode Island workers moved across the Providence hospitals, the Narragansett Electric stations, the Blackstone Valley mill towns, the Newport Navy facilities, and a half-dozen smaller employers in a single career.

How a Rhode Island case may work
Salvatore is a 79-year-old retired Navy steamfitter from Newport. From 1965 through 1995 he worked at Newport Naval Base, primarily on the underground steam infrastructure servicing the Marine Barracks and the broader Navy Education and Training Center. His career carried him across the underground steamlines, the Naval Supply Depot, the boiler plants, and the academic and barracks facilities on the broader installation. Daily work involved cutting and fitting pipe insulation on high-pressure steam piping, replacing gaskets and packing on valves and pump packing in the steam plant, working alongside refractory crews on boiler furnace repairs, and breathing the dust generated by the underground steamline maintenance cycles. He had no health complaints until late 2025, when persistent chest pain and progressive shortness of breath sent him to the VA Medical Center in Providence. A pleural biopsy in February 2026 confirmed pleural mesothelioma of the biphasic mesothelioma histologic subtype.
Salvatore's family called us shortly after the diagnosis. We matched his 30-year Newport Naval Base career against the asbestos trusts' Rhode Island lists. The base's own listings, including the Marine Barracks underground steamlines, support filings against at least seven site-specific trusts — ACandS, A.P. Green, Armstrong World Industries, Babcock & Wilcox, Fibreboard, Owens Corning, and U.S. Gypsum — and the Naval Supply Depot listings add Owens-Illinois, with further trusts possible from specific products in his work history. His pre-1983 Navy career qualifies him for the Johns-Manville Settlement Trust regardless of the site-specific documentation, and his Navy service supports a VA service-connected disability claim, which a trust or civil recovery doesn't reduce. Rhode Island's three-year personal injury filing deadline — longer than the two-year deadline in most states — preserves the case at the February 2026 diagnosis with room to build. Recoveries from cases like Salvatore's routinely fund what insurance does not cover — travel to academic cancer centers, lodging during extended treatment, out-of-pocket medication costs, and home help. The nearest NCI-designated cancer center for a Rhode Island worker is the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, where advanced treatments including lung-sparing surgery and the latest immunotherapy combinations are available, and the Yale Cancer Center in New Haven is an alternative within reasonable distance. When the written agreement and applicable law permit it, our firm can also advance the cost of travel and lodging when getting to the right treatment center is important. How legal recovery funds mesothelioma treatment access →. Our representation includes free asbestos health screening for Salvatore's wife and adult children, who would have been exposed to fibers brought home on his work clothes across 30 years.
For the full doctrinal treatment of Rhode Island's discovery rule, comparative fault framework, premises liability standard, and damages framework, see the Rhode Island mesothelioma law guide.
This example is general. Every case depends on the diagnosis, exposure history, dates, defendants, applicable law, and available evidence.
What happens when you call
A staff attorney answers — not a screener. The first call usually runs 20 to 30 minutes. We listen to the work history, identify which Rhode Island worksites and trust channels apply to your loved one's exposure, and explain the timeline and case structure for your family's specific situation.
We never pressure anyone to retain us during the first call. If you decide to move forward, we come to you — phone, video, or home visit, whichever works best. No travel to our offices is required at any point in the case.
You do not need to come to the call with product names, exposure dates, or work records. We reconstruct the exposure history using our worksite database, the trust documentation for each manufacturer, employment and union records, and coworker interviews. The conversation starts with what you remember; we handle the documentation work from there.
A spouse, adult child, or other family member can call for the worker. Many of our first calls are from a daughter or wife researching on behalf of a parent or husband. That is standard, and the family member can make the call without the worker on the line.

Frequently asked questions
Is my Rhode Island worksite documented?
Probably yes. The asbestos trusts' approved-site lists hold 528 Rhode Island entries in 72 communities — hospitals, Navy facilities, utility stations, manufacturing plants, Blackstone Valley mills, and a wide range of smaller industrial and commercial operations. You can search every entry on this page. Even if a specific facility isn't listed, we can often build the exposure case through product-handling reconstruction, coworker interviews, and employment and union records.
What does "trust coverage" mean for my case?
Asbestos trust coverage refers to the bankruptcy trusts established by asbestos manufacturers who went bankrupt under the weight of asbestos litigation. These trusts pay claims to workers exposed to the manufacturer's products. Each trust has its own eligibility criteria, exposure documentation requirements, and payment schedule. When we say a Rhode Island site is "recognized by at least four trusts," we mean four different asbestos trusts have records establishing that their products were used at that location, supporting four parallel trust claims.
Does my loved one qualify for the Johns-Manville trust?
Probably yes, if your loved one had asbestos exposure before 1983 and developed an asbestos-related disease. Johns-Manville does not require proof that its products were at a specific worksite, and for mesothelioma even one day of exposure can qualify. How Johns-Manville eligibility works.
Do I need to know which asbestos products my loved one handled?
No. We reconstruct the product-handling history from our worksite database, the trust documentation for each manufacturer, employment and union records, coworker interviews, and the broader Rhode Island industrial-history record. Most families have only general impressions — "he worked on the boilers," "she was in the radiology department," "he was an insulator at Newport" — and that is more than enough to start.
What if my loved one worked at multiple Rhode Island sites?
That is the typical Rhode Island case, not the exception. Career insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, and federal civilian maintenance workers routinely moved across the Providence hospitals, the Narragansett Electric stations, the Blackstone Valley manufacturing plants, the Newport Navy facilities, and a half-dozen smaller employers over a working life. Each site can add trusts to the claim. Rhode Island Covering Company alumni, in particular, almost always have multi-site, multi-trust exposure profiles.
What if my loved one's worksite has closed or been demolished?
It does not affect the claim. Most of the heavy asbestos exposure in Rhode Island happened between roughly 1940 and the early 1980s, and a substantial number of those worksites — Quonset Point NAS, Davisville NCBC, the Gorham Manufacturing Elmwood Avenue plant, parts of the historic Blackstone Valley mill complex — have since closed. Trust claims and civil claims do not require an open worksite; they require documented exposure history.
Can we file a claim if my loved one already passed away?
Yes. Rhode Island's wrongful-death framework allows family members to pursue both trust claims and civil claims after a worker has passed away from mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis. The wrongful-death filing deadline is three years from the date of death. Only if the wrongful cause wasn't known at the death does the clock start later, when it was or should have been discovered. We handle Rhode Island wrongful death cases routinely.
What if my loved one is a Navy veteran from Newport, Quonset Point, or Davisville?
Navy veterans may qualify for VA service-connected disability benefits as well as trust claims and civil claims. VA disability isn't reduced by a trust or civil recovery. Newport Naval Base, the historic Quonset Point Naval Air Station, and the historic Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center, the Seabees' base beside Quonset Point, all produced extensive Navy and federal civilian exposure profiles. Federal civilian employees have FECA, their only remedy against the United States, and FECA must be repaid from a recovery against the companies; a worker eligible for both VA and FECA for the same illness generally has to choose. Call us; we coordinate these claims case by case.
