Law Policies Regarding Mesothelioma
Law Policies Regarding MesotheliomaAuthor: Loni LoveLife-threatening mesothelioma is directly related to asbestos exposure. Asbestos was used for many years in construction and manufacturing because of its flame retardant qualities. As far back as the 1930’s, medical evidence was documented that asbestos exposure had health risks. However, especially in the early to mid twentieth century, many companies neglected to protect their employees from exposure to these deadly fibers. Many companies had to file for bankruptcy after being sued in one mesothelioma lawsuit after another. By the 1970’s, the United States Congress stepped in to try to legislate policies that would provide a fair legal environment for both the companies and their employees. On one hand, companies were neglecting their responsibility by filing bankruptcy and going out of business rather than face legitimate mesothelioma lawsuits. On the other hand, the promise of large compensation caused unwarranted suits to arise from people who weren’t affected by asbestos exposure, but hoped to cash in on the wave of litigation. Since the effects of exposure to asbestos are so lethal, even someone washing the clothes of an exposed person may be in danger. However this fact has led many unaffected people to hire a lawyer in hopes of receiving a large mesothelioma settlement. Likewise, the companies involved in the mining of asbestos and manufacturing have sought to protect the interests of their shareholders. Many of the companies set up trust funds to handle each mesothelioma lawsuit as it came to light. Teams of attorneys whose full-time job is litigating asbestos-related claims have been assembled.
