Mesothelioma-Attorney-Case.com Is Officially Against The Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution (FAIR) Act of 2005

The folks at Mesothelioma-Attorney-Case.com are officially against The Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution (FAIR) Act of 2005, also known as The Asbestos Trust Fund Bill (S.852).

Here's a snippet from a Mesothelioma-Attorney-Case.com press release that was issued today:

"Mesothelioma-attorney-case.com joins opposition against Bill S.852 - the Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution Act of 2005.

Bill S.852 is being touted by lobbyists as the solution to help ease the burden on our judicial system regarding asbestos litigation.

The true effect of the bill if passed, will be to add several layers of government involvement to an already overburdened legal system.

Increased federal involvement will not produce a decrease in expenses due to asbestos litigation.

Adding another layer of bureaucracy to victims stricken with Mesothelioma is not the answer. Individuals exposed to these harmful agents have the right to be heard on an individual basis.

The Bill has set guidelines regarding the individuals past exposure to asbestos.

To place individuals exposed to asbestos in a 3 level template is unjust.

The Three levels of asbestos exposure are defined in a qualitative and subjective manner based on the length of employment in an asbestos exposure-related job. They are:

• Moderate Exposure
  In a standard work year, the person worked in areas immediate to where asbestos-containing products were installed, repaired or removed and involved regular airborne emissions of asbestos. This counts as one year of substantial occupational exposure.
  
  
• Heavy Exposure
  In a standard work year, the person was involved in the direct installation, repair or removal of asbestos-containing products and thus was exposed to asbestos on a regular basis. This counts as two years of substantial occupational exposure.
  
  
• Very Heavy Exposure
  In a standard work year, the person worked in primary asbestos manufacturing, a World War II shipyard or the asbestos insulation trades and thus was exposed to asbestos fibers on a regular basis. This counts as four years of substantial occupational exposure.

We feel the proposed bill will severely limit individual’s rights to just compensation in a timely manner. Mesothelioma is a dehumanizing disease caused by asbestos exposure.
