"According to Wikipedia, was known to the causes for the producers of asbestos in 1929. Since then, many lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers and employers neglect brought security to implement the connection between asbestos, asbestosis, and mesothelioma (some data seem already in 1898). The responsibility for the prosecution and a large number of people affected has reached billions of dollars [46]. Number and compensation procedures resulted in many lawsuits distribution of the U.S. Supreme Court reached, and that the government tries to current and future to solve cases. So far, however, Congress does not intervene and the replacement of asbestos, federal law.
No matter how people want to trauma of the disease (cancer of the mesothelium) is not only a common problem. As with other terminal diseases, cancer and even death to the victim. In many other cases of illness argued that any apparent Boom is wrong, but again, even though the abuse, you can not escape suffering tremendous support suffers illness, so that damage is inevitable. Lawyers in the disease course, think differently, and I think they are right.
Reason
Everything indicates the cause of the disease asbestos. It is about 75-80% of cases in the United States. Asbestos can not breathe or swallow, without immediate or obvious.
Reasons why the victim would have to pay compensation to
The prognosis is very poor and the survival rate of only 6-18 months were given, and much of the patient only a conservative treatment of symptoms such as pain and shortness of breath alleviate. Half of these patients, conservative treatment within six months, 18 months, an alarming mortality rate is to die. Expects the patient to die after all.
expensive treatment
The treatment is a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in some cases, if possible. Effects on the cost of these therapies is enormous, and a patient gets the treatment, was at least in the last few days very nice. I expect it to make the burden of this inhumane, if it was issued on workplace justice. Economic and psychological needs of patients must be balanced with the disease.
Failure of public enterprises
In 1990, the ever known risk from Asbestos. Warning of the dangers of scientific knowledge does not take into account, the users of asbestos, and so far the government and working with manufacturers to support the weight of asbestos. It is therefore immoral, should the cost, as the government bear responsibility for their citizens. It is the victims are encouraged to a lawyer to help meet the requirements of the disease involved .
