High Risk Industries For Asbestos Exposure


High Risk Industries For Asbestos Exposure

High Risk Industries For Asbestos Exposure
By Archana Sarat

Asbestos is a wonder mineral that is fibrous by nature. It is fire resistant, chemical resistant and very strong. It can be easily woven into cloth to make fireproof clothing. Despite being such a wonderful substance, it is very hazardous to the employees and laborers, who work with it. It leads to various diseases like asbestosis, fibrosis, asbestos warts and even, cancer. Mesothelioma, a killer disease, is the most terrible of all the diseases caused by exposure to asbestos. Due to this, asbestos use, mining and manufacture were banned in many countries a few decades ago. But, there are still many countries like India and china, which have not imposed a complete ban on asbestos. Even those developed countries, which have banned asbestos, are still reaping the troubles of asbestos exposure. This is because the diseases caused due to asbestos exposure have a long latency period. For instance, mesothelioma may take even 40 years to develop after asbestos exposure.

One problem with asbestos is what when it is mined and manufactured a lot of asbestos dust and asbestos fibers are released into the atmosphere. Since these are light and invisible, the laborers easily inhale them. The trouble starts after this, as these fibers are very harmful when inhaled. For instance, when the asbestos fibers come in contact with the mesothelium lining, they react adversely with the cells leading to tumors. The tumors may appear in body parts like lungs, hearts and abdomen. This disease is called as mesothelioma. These tumors may also spread throughout the body, finally leading to dearth.

The following industries have high risk for exposure to asbestos:

Contractors or construction workers:

Since asbestos is very strong, flexible and fireproof, it is a highly preferred material in all types of construction work. In some way or in some form, asbestos is present in paints, cement, tubes, pipes, and sheets and so on. Not only the laborers but also residents, school children in schools, officers in offices and all others face a risk of asbestos exposure.

Firefighters:

In yester years, firefighters wore clothing woven with asbestos. This fireproof clothing gave rise to various health hazards due to asbestos exposure. Even now when old buildings collapse due to fire, firefighters become exposed to asbestos.

Power plants:

The boilers and generators of power plants are mostly lined with asbestos. This is done to protect it from intense heat and sudden fires.

Automotive mechanics:

Mechanics work with brakes and clutch linings, which contain asbestos. Thus, they get exposed to asbestos. Even though asbestos is banned now, the old vehicles still contain such asbestos parts.

Miners:

Minerals like vermiculite and talc contain asbestos. Thus, not only the asbestos miners but miners of these minerals too will suffer from asbestos exposure.

Shipyards:

Most of the components in ships like hot water pipes, incinerators insulation, boilers and steam pipes contain asbestos. Since asbestos is fire proof, chemical proof, strong and flexible, it is popularly used in ship components. Therefore, shipyard workers have high risk of developing asbestos related diseases like mesothelioma. During the Second World War, there was widespread use of asbestos and in US alone, more than 4 million people worked in shipyards. Overhauling and destruction of old ships also releases a lot of asbestos dust and is thus, very hazardous.

Railroads:

Just like automotives and ships, railroads also made use of asbestos in steam pipes, boilers, gaskets, brakes and clutches.

Steel Mills:

Asbestos is expected to be present in the thermal Insulation Substances used in steel mills.

Oil refineries:

It is expected that many parts in the oil refineries also contain asbestos, as the rate of mesothelioma is very high among the refinery workers.

While this gives us an in-depth knowledge about how asbestos affects the various areas of workplace, this is not conclusive. It is important to take proper care and be vigilant to prevent asbestos exposure.

The most helpful way to diagnosis a single with signs and symptoms of mesothelioma is what is acknowledged as PET, or positron emission tomography. A PET is a diagnostic imaging scan that is applied for the malignant detection of mesothelioma. It scans for microscopic particles that are emitted from radioactive substances.

Hiring a Lawyer for a Mesothelioma Lawsuit


Hiring a Lawyer for a Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Hiring a Lawyer for a Mesothelioma Lawsuit
By Leigh White

Filing a mesothelioma lawsuit is not the difficult part of the equation. The difficulty comes into play when seeking the proper amount of damages for your pain and suffering. To errantly select a lawyer and rush into litigation would doubtfully lead to the desired outcome. As such, a proper approach is needed to increase the odds that the lawsuit ends up being a successful one.

Many people are seeking such legal remedies these days as the sheer numbers of diagnoses of mesothelioma cancer have increased tremendously over the past two decades. Despite the fact that more and more information has been discovered about the cancer risks associated with asbestos exposure, many older buildings are not effectively inspected for asbestos. Such a negligent oversight puts those entering such a building at needless and severe risk. In some cases, the exposure was so severe cancer developed in the exposed.

Do to the high number of mesothelioma diagnoses in recent years, a large number of lawsuits have been filed as a result. Filing such lawsuits in done for the obvious reason: there is a need to recoup costs associated with such a condition.

One thing that needs to be clearly understood prior to engaging in any legal action is that there are no guarantees of any outcome. This is true no matter how legitimate your claim is. Once a litigant realizes this fact, the litigant will understand the extreme need for hiring the right attorney to represent them in the case.

How do you know whether or not you are hiring the right attorney for the mesothelioma lawsuit? A multitude of factors will determine whether or not the attorney you are considering is the right one for your needs. Probably the most important factor would be the experience level of the attorney. Has this particular attorney represented a large number of litigants in mesothelioma cases? Experience counts for a lot and any lawyer that does have a lot of experience with such cases would be one well worth considering hiring.

It may be wise to define the experience the attorney possesses into more concrete terms. In other words, how many mesothelioma cases has the attorney represented? Does the attorney specialize in these types of cases or does are mesothelioma cases one type of case in a long list of liability areas in which the attorney represents?

There are also attorneys that take part in mesothelioma cases on an exclusive basis. In other words, they do not handle other civil cases and are experts in the exclusive representation of mesothelioma cases. Seeking out such specialists may be the better option since specialization can some with insights and experience other attorneys may not possess.

� Experience alone, however, is not an indication of skill. The attorney must have a "track record" for success litigation and settlements. Questions that need to be asked are:

� What percentage of cases represented are settled out of court and what percentage are litigated?

� Of the cases that go to litigation, what percentage is won?

� What is the average award received in a settlement and what is the average awarded judgment of a case that goes to civil trial?

Determining the definitive answer to all these questions is a must before selecting an attorney. The entire goal of entering into a lawsuit is to achieve financial compensation for all the trouble. The attorney's past performance can be considered the best indication of how the attorney will perform in the future. Examining the amount of monetary awards in litigation and settlements will yield the answers to any queries in this regard.

Also, it is necessary to determine the attorney's fees for representation. Will the attorney solely take a percentage of the settlement or the judgment or are other fees involved? There is no right or wrong way to charge clients. The client does, however, need to feel comfortable with the fee process. Entering into an agreement with an attorney and then having to dissolve the relationship over costs halfway through litigation could prove disastrous and is best avoided.

All in all, when you are seeking to file a mesothelioma lawsuit you want to hire the very best attorney for your needs. The reason for this is fairly obvious: You want to walk away from the litigation with a positive outcome. Without the right attorney in place, this would prove enormously difficult.

Mesothelioma Litigation and Its History


Mesothelioma Litigation and Its History

Mesothelioma Litigation and Its History
By Tony Ulrich

In 2000, a retired Navy seaman was awarded with compensation for significant injuries he suffered from, but not only was the defendant found guilty on charges of negligence, but also fraudulent conduct. The defendant was an Illinois based manufacturer of asbestos products.

The established evidence convinced the jury to conclude the defendant's involvement in a conspiracy with other asbestos corporations. It turned out that they had willingly concealed facts with regard to the harmful and hazardous nature of asbestos and furthermore misrepresented the potential danger of the material to their workers. In addition to that "committed malice and oppression in its conduct" was determined by the jury in charge.

An 82 year old former machinist from Los Angeles was awarded damages he suffered as a result of exposure to asbestos during his course of employment. The defendant, a local asbestos manufacturer was found guilty on the charges of malice, fraud and oppression.

If it can be proven that an employer has willing fully and purposefully injured a worker, the employee may have the legal grounds for mesothelioma litigation. The two aforementioned cases are typical examples of mesothelioma litigations, which are constituted by a victim seeking monetary compensation for his expenses, the loss of income as well as pain and suffering. Further to that and dependent on the state and jurisdiction, punitive damages may apply.

Punitive damages are ordered payments that go beyond the victim's compensation and therefore, in essence, designed to punish corporate misconduct. They are seen as a message to other corporations that such negligence and unlawful actions won't be tolerated.

Let's have a look at the history of mesothelioma litigation. The first asbestos product lawsuit was litigated by a lawyer from Texas. The case was filed back in 1966. The plaintiff was a retired asbestos worker from Louisiana. On the defendant's side, there were eleven corporations. The official diagnosis the plaintiff had received read "pulmonary dust disease", which resembled all the symptoms of asbestosis. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants did know of the danger of asbestos, or at least had an obligation to be aware of the hazard, but failed to warn him. Charges were dropped on six of the original defendants; the other five eventually agreed on a compensation settlement that was put together outside of the court. But the story doesn't end here, because in 1969, another lawsuit was filed against some of the same defendants by a former co-worker of the previous plaintiff. He was actually diagnosed with mesothelioma, which was back then even rarer than it is nowadays. He died only eight months after he testified in his own case. A 'before court settlement' was achieved with four of the defendants, before the actual trial eventually went into court in 1970.

As the trial evolved, a designated accident prevention hired by one of the defendants, testified that the corporation could not be held responsible, since he had never heard of toxicity caused by asbestos prior to 1964. Ironically, his wife died later due to malignant mesothelioma.

In 1977 a significant discovery revealed a major corporate conspiracy. In the process of litigating a case of former employees of a Manhattan (NYC) based asbestos manufacturer and product supplier, the lawyer in charge went through the company's annual statement and found an astounding statement. The company had obviously hired an insurance company to conduct a survey of their manufacturing sites with focus employee safety and health. Apparently, the findings of the survey indicated an increased potential hazard and risk to the workers caused by their exposure to asbestos. These documents went into the books as the so called 'Sumner Simpson Papers'. Consequently, a flood of mesothelioma and asbestos lawsuits emerged and continues to keep jurisdictions all across the nation busy with compensation settlement claims.

The author Tony Ulrich was diagnosed with kidney cancer in October of 2009. In his research on what his cancer could have been caused by, he came across with data that suggests a strong link to environmental toxics, such as asbestos.

Mesothelioma Litigation Lawyers - What Questions Will The Lawyer Ask During The First Meeting
By Mark W. Stevens

When a client goes to see a lawyer, there are some specific things that the lawyer will want to know and will subject the client in a line of questioning; the first interview is usually the crucial interview. This is because this is the meeting that will determine if the lawyer will represent the client or not. So the lawyer will want to know why the client needs the services of a lawyer. The reason why the want to know why the client needs their services, is to enable them evaluate the matter and see if they are going to represent them or not. In cases where the client cannot be represented by a particular lawyer, they are forwarded to a more appropriate lawyer who will be able to handle his or her legal matters.

Another common question that lawyers ask clients at a first meeting is if the client has seen other lawyers before. If other lawyers have been hired to represent the client the lawyer will want to know why their services to the client were terminated. They will also want to know if there were other lawyers so that the lawyer can be able to work with other lawyers. The other lawyers that have worked with the client could have unraveled matter about the case that could help the current lawyer who has been assigned to the case.

Another common question that a lawyer asks at a first meeting with a client is the financial stand of the client. Lawyers rarely give free services even at a first meeting. They do not charge that meeting and they will want to get the best out of it. So they will want to know if that client is in a position to pay the lawyer fees. If the client finds the rate to be very high, then other lawyer who has lower rates can be recommended.

An initial client lawyer meeting will include questions of the criminal record of the client. This prepares the lawyer and also gives him the opportunity to understand the legal stand of the client. The lawyer will want to know if there are people who will be able to act as witnesses or even act as proof of good conduct. They will want the list of the witnesses so that the lawyer can be able to compare the facts of their client and the other people so that they see if the client is saying the truth or not.

Wrongful Death Settlements in Mesothelioma Cases


Wrongful Death Settlements in Mesothelioma Cases

Wrongful Death Settlements in Mesothelioma Cases
By Tony Ulrich

Nothing can replace the memories of your loved ones after their death. However, there are times when the death could have been avoided but occurred because of the negligence of someone else. We find typical examples in situations where a diagnosis of an asbestos induced cancer, such as mesothelioma or cancer of the lung, could have been avoided, if an employer had been taken care of his responsibilities. In cases such as these a wrongful death settlement may be awarded by a civil court. If you receive a settlement offer there are a few things to keep in mind when making your decision.

If you are offered a settlement for the wrongful death of your loved one you will need to choose whether or not to accept a lump sum or a structured settlement. Generally, you will be offered a smaller amount in a lump sum. A structured settlement will be paid out in even payments over a designated period of time. This may be monthly or yearly depending on what the defendants may be offering. Your attorney will help you decide which option is in your best interest and may be able to negotiate larger sums and better terms for your wrongful death lawsuit settlement.

Wrongful death settlements are not considered taxable by the IRS. In many states punitive damages in a claim are taxable; however, they are exempt in cases of wrongful death. Although a large wrongful death settlement may push the deceased's estate over the tax exempt limits of the inheritance laws. Always consult a good tax attorney and a CPA so there is no doubt about any taxes that may be due. Spending a small sum up front may save tens of thousands of dollars later on.

There are a number of reasons the need may arise to convert your structured payments into a lump sum of cash. Perhaps a wonderful business opportunity has presented itself; however, without the cash of the settlement a deal cannot be closed. Or, unfortunately some people will be diagnosed with terminal diseases and wish to use the money to enjoy the last few years of their lives. In cases such as these there are companies that specialize in paying you a lump sum in exchange for yours structured payments. These companies profit by offering you a lower amount than the total of the payments still do. In this case these lending institutions are guaranteeing themselves a certain percentage profit on their investment. Most settlement payments are coming from very strong insurance companies, so their investment is deemed very safe. You will give up a good portion of your settlement by utilizing one of these companies; however, if the money can be enjoyed today instead of being left to other heirs, the high price may be worth it.

Receiving money because of the death of a family member or close person through a Wrongful death settlement is never a satisfying victory. However, a settlement such as this can be put to good use taking care of dependants and doing good in the name of your lost love one.
