Asbestos Litigation

Asbestos litigation has increased dramatically in the recent years. Although lawmakers are trying to get the asbestos litigation under control, many people are just now receiving some form of justice. For decades, people suffered deadly and serious illnesses due to asbestos exposure that some companies knew existed since the 1930s but failed to do anything about.

Since some workers did not realize the dangers involved, as well as the late asbestos illness onset, asbestos litigation was not pursued until recent years. The House passed a bill on July 8, 20003 regarding asbestos litigation to prevent them from being litigated until actual asbestos illnesses become serious. In hopes of eliminating more minor instances of asbestos litigation in order to provide adequate funds for serious and deadly asbestos illnesses, the bill may help curb the overwhelming amount of asbestos litigation that currently exists.

The asbestos litigation bill was met with opposition, however, and there are concerns that serious asbestos litigation cases will never even get a chance because of the potential shortage of money.
