Insurers, Agents Bask In Class-Action Victory Industry sets sights on reform bills for asbestos and medical malpractice claims

The insurance industry raved about the class-action reform measure signed into law by President George W. Bush after an eight-year battle for passage, with the American Insurance Association declaring that the real winners are "all businesses held hostage by frivolous lawsuits."

In commending President Bush for signing the measure, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America also praised leaders in both houses of Congress—including Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and their allies in this effort—for working hard this month to get the bill to the president’s desk.

What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare disease caused as a result of malignant cancerous cells lining the patient's body cavities such as chest, abdominal region or the area surrounding the heart.Your legal rights:

Corporations that manufacture asbestos products have known about the dangers of asbestos-related diseases for more than six decades. In an effort to increase profit, they kept this information quiet, putting workers and families at risk.

Working with asbestos causes serious diseases. Unfortunately, many corporations thought they would be able to cut corners and make a large profit at the expense of endangering workers. Fortunately, there are laws that help to protect those individuals that have been harmed by exposure to asbestos-related products.

Spread the information and help as many as possible.
Thanks

It is inhalation of asbestos fibers which can
cause mesothelioma or
asbestos lung cancer.
Even low exposure levels of the tiny fibers or
asbestos dust are very
dangerous. After the 1980's workplace exposure
to asbestos became more
rare, but it can take up to 40 years for signs
of mesothelioma asbestos
lung cancer are noticed.

Most patients were exposed to asbestos fibers on the job
or in the
workplace in what is known as occupational exposure. Another form of
exposure is called paraoccupational exposure. This form of asbestos
exposure can be harder to determine the source, but it is usually
contracted by a family member of someone who has been exposed in the
workplace.

Typically the family member is exposed to asbestos dust or fibers from
the worker's clothing, and when the clothing is handled the dust is
released and inhaled. Family members that are exposed in this way, may
be exposed to smaller amounts, but are still very much at risk.

In the same way, those that have homes or work work near facilities
that have asbestos may
also be at risk even though there is not
obvious direct contact. The fine asbestos dust can easily be
carried
by the wind over long distances.

In the past, some of the industries that could have been a source of
asbestos were factories, shipyards, power plants, oil refineries,
steel manufacturing plants, and any company or job site involved with
construction or the removal of old building materials. Often the
demolition of buildings that contain asbestos can release the
dust
into the environment, and trucks hauling the materials can further
spread the fine asbestos fibers.

Likewise, people who live near these types of sites likely to have
asbestos around the
facility are also at risk: refineries, power
plants, factories, shipyards, steel mills and building demolition are
types of work sites that can release asbestos fibers into the
environment and contaminate nearby residential neighborhoods.
