Asbestos claims are still alive and growing

Recently, several insurance companies surprised investors when they announced increased reserve amounts for asbestos claims. Other insurance companies had decreased profits because of asbestos costs . Insurance giant, AIG, took a staggering $1.3 Billion in reserves for asbestos due to an industry wide trend towards expanding coverage theory for liability. This is also because there has been a higher frequency of mesothelioma claims in the past year and many have also been more severe cases. Insurance companies have had significant exposure to personal injury claims arising from asbestos and it looks as if asbestos claims will continue to increase. Asbestos takes years to manifest itself and for the effects of the exposure to appear. Many baby boomers are first realizing that they may have been exposed to asbestos and could develop a dangerous asbestos-related disease like mesothelioma. There are likely to be many more cases in the future from asbestos exposure that occurred during the Vietnam era and involving veterans of Vietnam.

While some asbestos manufactures have filed bankruptcy, many are still fully viable financially. The claims made to the manufacturers who are now bankrupt are handled by the bankruptcy trustees. Victims of asbestos are able to bring lawsuits because they have suffered because of a product whose dangers were initially concealed by manufacturers. The asbestos manufacturers knew that this product would have devastating effects but made no warnings to consumers or purchasers. The courts have recognized their liability, making it possible for victims to recover compensation for their injuries, pain and suffering. These recent developments show that there are potentially many more victims of asbestos and mesothelioma who can file a lawsuit.

Asbestos at Madison Square Garden!

Asbestos Concerns at Madison Square Garden
Dangers Lurk Throughout NYC

In a city like metropolitan New York, there are many old buildings that were constructed or remodeled when asbestos was commonly used as insulation for pipes, in heating systems, in floor and ceiling tiles and for other purposes.
A Madison Square Garden announcement earlier this week is a reminder that at-risk buildings are everywhere in NYC. Even the world’s most famous arena is not immune.
Asbestos Debris Cancels Knicks Game
Madison Square Garden reported, “During overnight maintenance of Madison Square Garden, which included cleaning asbestos-related materials in the attic above the ceiling, some debris fell into the Arena.”
Out of an abundance of caution, and after consulting with the NBA, we are postponing tonight’s Knicks v. Magic game. We will be working with the city and independent experts, ATC Associates and GCI Environmental Advisory, to evaluate and determine the most appropriate course of action. As the safety of our customers and employees are our top priority, we will not reopen the Garden until we are absolutely assured the Arena is safe.”

Asbestos Victims Surface Decades Later
Since the 1930’s and 1940’s unsuspecting workers in many occupations used products made of asbestos. As workers inhaled asbestos fibers, the particles scarred lungs and in some cases, eventually caused a form of lung cancer, known as mesothelioma.
Make no mistake —Asbestos is Dangerous
Although doctors use radiation and chemotherapy to treat mesothelioma, there is no cure. If you or a loved one is fighting a battle with mesothelioma, you will have enormous medical expenses and have a right to hold liable parties responsible.
