Asbestos Litigation Pushes Liable Businesses into Bankruptcy

According to the RAND Corporation, asbestos law suits constitute the longest, most expensive mass tort in U.S. legal history, involving more than 8,400 defendants and 730,000 claimants as of 2002. In the United States, asbestos litigation has cost more than $250 billion-and experts have estimated that in the next forty years pending cases may jump from 200,000 to 700,000!

What does this mean for you? If you've been exposed to asbestos, it means you need to act now! In the face of steep litigation costs, large damage awards and an increasing number of claimants, many of the businesses responsible for exposing American workers to dangerous levels of asbestos are declaring bankruptcy in order to escape the costs of legal liability.
