Supreme Court Rules In Favour Of Asbestos Claims

Supreme Court Rules In Favour Of Asbestos Claims  

Article by Richard Godden









Insurance companies who wanted to prevent people in Scotland claiming for an asbestos-related disease have failed in their legal bid.

On 12 October, The UK Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by insurance companies, a decision which will now allow people affected by pleural plaques to claim compensation for their injuries.

The ruling is the latest stage in what has been a long-running battle between victims of pleural plaques and insurance companies.

In 2009, MSPs issued the Damages Act which enabled Scottish people to make asbestos-related claims. Insurers subsequently failed to overturn the decision in the Court of Session and so took their appeal to the UK Supreme Court, stating the legislation infringed on human rights.

The UK Supreme Court disagreed with the insurance companies, rejecting their argument that the legislation is “fundamentally flawed”, saying that in fact the judgement by the Scottish Parliament was not “without reasonable foundation.”

Commenting on the ruling, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said: “I warmly welcome this significant decision, not least for the sake of people with pleural plaques and all those who campaigned so vigorously to help them.

“We firmly believe that people with this condition should be able to raise a claim for damages, and we are delighted that this decision has gone in their favour – a result that will surely bring them some comfort.”

He added: “It is our sincere hope that the insurers will now reflect carefully on the decisions reached by the Scottish Parliament, by both the Outer and Inner Houses of Scotland’s Court of Session, and now by the UK’s Supreme Court and settle those claims that have been stalled for so long.”

Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray also favoured the Court’s decision, stating: “This is tremendous news for all those in Scotland who have had to suffer the trauma of being told they have pleural plaques and will now, after two and a half years of delay, be able to pursue the damages they are entitled to.”

Have You Been Affected By Asbestos?

If you have suffered harm from working with asbestos, you need to speak to a legal expert. Whether it is pleural plaques, asbestosis, mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the pain and suffering you and your loved ones have endured. To find out more, contact a solicitor’s office today and speak to one of our personal injury lawyers.

Court approves contract for water-well testing in Fayetteville Shale area  

environmental testing

Court approves contract for water-well testing in Fayetteville Shale area  

Article by Hyderabadescort









Court approves contract for water-well testing in Fayetteville Shale area

The Faulkner County Quorum Court approved a ,000 contract Tuesday June 28, 2011 night with the U.S. Geological Survey to sample water wells in the Fayetteville Shale area.

The vote was unanimous, and the only discussion was about whether the three natural gas companies drilling in the area were likely to help pay for the water-sampling project.

County Judge Preston Scroggin said he had written to the companies and had heard from only one, and “They have sent it up the corporate flagpole.”Italian energy company Eni announced Wednesday July 7, 2011 that oil production started at its Appaloosa field in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Eni said a well at the offshore field was flowing at a rate of around 7,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. It’s the second field tied to the company’s Corral Platform, which is processing more than 46,000 gross boe per day.

The field is about 60 miles southwest of the Louisiana coast in about 2,500 feet of water.

Royal Dutch Shell was approved for exploratory work in the Appomattox prospect off the Louisiana coast despite a legal challenge from environmental groups who complained about the risk of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

The April 2010 failure at BP’s Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico led to a gas explosion that killed 11 workers and sparked one of the worst environmental disasters in the history of the oil industry. Washington lifted restrictions on gulf development in late 2010. The Shell prospect would be almost twice as deep as Macondo, the Platts news service reports.

The Shell permit is the 18th since the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement lifted its ban on gulf drilling last year.

Justice of the Peace Johnny Wells said he’d prefer that the county pay for the work so there would never be a question of a conflict regarding the outcome.

The ,000 contract will include sampling of 40-60 wells that are in closest proximity to natural gas wells and a monitoring of the level of the water table. The USGS will be working at the same time in Van Buren County.

“This will hyderabad escort service provide a benchmark, tell us hyderabad escort service what we don’t know,” J.P. Dan Thessing said. “It’s a small fee to pay to protect our citizens.”

J.P. Randy Higgins said it was hyderabad escort service unfortunate that the testing wasn’t done earlier, “before 2,000 holes were drilled in the ground.”



About the Author

Chesapeake Energy Corporation rejected an inaccurate and misleading article in the Sunday, June 26, 2011 edition of the New York Times that accused the company of exaggerating natural gas hyderabad escort service shale wells’ productivity and industry reserve estimates of future well performance despite numerous hyderabad escort service available sources verifying the estimates.

Should Australia just take Phillip Morris to court for medical expenses for Australians?

lung cancer pics
by wipeoutpdr

Question by kama30m (A)B: Should Australia just take Phillip Morris to court for medical expenses for Australians?
smoking and advertising logos are coming to a head in Australia. Now Philip Morris are looking at legal action for compensation for government forced plain packaging of smokes for todays news- papers. Id like to see the counter claim for this one when a country puts a test case up for compensation for what smokes have done to the world. Who knows may the UN might need to get involved to check the list of the class action of people, dead and a live today? What would you suggest if you were their lawyers? Id be a little worried about even talking about compensation.

Though long term what are the alternatives, ban smokes altogether from a country if they win their case for billions in compensation and force a government to take stock of the cost on health of an aging generation dying of cancer in Australia and around the world?

I dont mind smokers and smoking and i dont care much about advertising rights or hampering people’s ability to have a colorfull cigarette box. i like the boxes at the moment a gory image, they give you a reminder of how preious life is and how certain death is from no matter what cause.

The other day i was amused and laughed at seeing a picture on some smokes, thinking it was nakid lady from a distance. I think it was actually a baby dying from sids or something terrorable though. So those pics are always effective is my point, not my dirty mind.

Their body, their lungs their right to smoke is my theory.

But I think Phillip Morris should be careful though about pushing for compensation from governments that cant offord to pay for hospitals for the dying? They might ask for heath compensation for a country cancer or even bring in a bill to ban smoking altogether.

Maybe even introduce their own clean homeband of smokes without the chemicals of additions in them. Maybe they might legalise grass as well at the same time who knows? Throw your ideas in the mix?

My father died of mouth and throat cancer. I Love him so dearly and miss him every day.

ps my Dad never smoked a day in his life.

What would you recommend Phillip Morris do or the Prime Minster of Australia in this legal matter?

Court rules in favour of asbestos victims

Court rules in favour of asbestos victims  

Article by Olwyn Kinsey







The Supreme Court has handed down a judgment in the long awaited case of Sienkiewicz -v- Greif UK Ltd deciding in favour of asbestos victims who fell ill from low-level asbestos exposure. This is a truly significant ruling for personal injury law.

Mrs Enid Costello worked at a factory in Elsmere Port in the 1960′s and 1970′s. She was exposed to small amounts of asbestos generated elsewhere in the factory. She developed mesothelioma as an occupational disease from which she died in 2006.

Mrs Dianne Willmore was found to have been exposed to asbestos in the 1970′s when she was a student at Bowring School near Liverpool. She died from mesothelioma in 2009, again developing as an occupational disease.

On 9 March 2011, the Supreme Court ruled on this serious injury and found in favour of the families of Mrs Costello and Mrs Willmore confirming awards of damages that had previously been agreed.

What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a devastating aggressive cancer which usually forms in the lining of the lungs (but can also form in the stomach lining) and is always fatal. Unless idiosyncratic, its only known cause is asbestos exposure and there is thought to be no “safe limit” below which there is no risk of developing mesothelioma.

When inhaled, the microscopic asbestos dust particles can cause lung diseases resulting in breathlessness and in some tragic cases, death. Within personal injury law, these asbestos related conditions have presented themselves as a serious injury occupational disease. Unlike noise induced hearing loss or other accidents at work, asbestos related conditions developing nationwide have not reached their peak. Notably, such conditions have been contracted through service in the Armed Forces, now compensated by the ‘no-fault’ Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. Training accidents and accidents at work have led servicemen to be exposed to asbestos. Asbestos exposure

There is understood to be a certain level of asbestos exposure in the environment at large, particularly in urban areas. In the Sienkiewicz case, the defendants sought to deny compensation to mesothelioma claimants who, although they were exposed negligently to asbestos, could not prove the negligent exposure had “doubled the risk” of mesothelioma. They said the claimant must prove the amount of negligent exposure was at least the same as the background environmental exposure, if not more, in order to succeed.

Fortunately, the seven law lords found unanimously for the claimant (as had 3 Court of Appeal judges before them) and said that where a claimant can prove the negligent exposure made a “material contribution” to the risk of mesothelioma, the claim will succeed. The ruling of Lord Phillips will be of fundamental importance to mesothelioma victims now and for years to come.

Asbestos victims have faced a barrage of legal attacks over the past decade since the House of Lords “Fairchild ruling” in 2002. The legal costs incurred by defendants over the past 10 years fighting asbestos victims dwarfs the amount of compensation paid many times over. It is time the insurance industry took some responsibility for the policies they wrote decades ago.

Best answer:

Answer by Jay Ramey
I do not know what state you are in. But this is the way in works in the state I practice law.

If one cannot pay child support because of lack of a job or medical problems or whatever reason they can come up with, they need to file a motion to modify the child support. If the judge grants the modification, it will apply from the date it is granted and into the future.

If a contempt citation is filed, the money is owed from the date the person was originally ordered to pay child support. One can never get this past due obligation modified or forgiven, unless the party that is owed the money is willing to work out a settlement. If the person does not pay this past due money or does not work out a payment plan that is acceptable to the person owed the money, the debtor goes to jail for six month.

The law in your state may be different.

Honorable Supreme Court of India dismisses the plea for Asbestos ban  

chrysotile asbestos
by Miguel Vera

Honorable Supreme Court of India dismisses the plea for Asbestos ban  

Article by Rajiv39







New Delhi, 2011: The Honorable Supreme Court of India in a landmark judgement dismissed a public interest litigation filed by an NGO stating that the petition lacked bona fide, was an abuse of the process of the Court and had been filed as proxy litigation for the purpose of achieving private interest. The court dismissing the PIL has also issued show cause notice to the petitioner asking it as to why a contempt of court proceeding be not initiated against it.

The NGO – Kalyaneshwari had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in 2004 with a prayer that a writ of mandamus be issued directing the Union of India and other respondent-States to immediately ban all uses of asbestos in any manner whatsoever. One of the respondents to the PIL, Asbestos Cement Product Manufacturers Association had raised an objection with the court that the present Writ Petition is an abuse of the process of the Court and has been instituted at the behest of a business rival.

The Hon’ble Court observed that “the present petition has been filed with the intention of creating impediment in the establishment and running of the industrial units in various States dealing with production or manufacture of asbestos in accordance with law and without infringing any right of others whatsoever”

The bench comprising Chief Justice of India SH Kapadia, Justice Panicker Radhakrishnan and Justice Swatanter Kumar has further stated that “States have taken different stands in their respective Affidavits. However, all of them have stated that appropriate measures are being taken to ensure working of such units in accordance with law “.

The petitioner has made no effort to collect any information/data from various States as to whether the directions issued by the Court (in an earlier 1995 judgement) are being strictly implemented or not at all. On the contrary, it is the stand of the States as well as Union of India that the directions issued by this Court are being strictly adhered to. The parameters and norms have been specified and the industries using such raw materials as Chrysotile Asbestos are being constantly watched, in relation to all the functions of the factory, specially keeping in view the environment and health status of the workers and nearby residents.

Even subsequent to the filing of the present petition, the petitioner has not put in any effort to seriously rebut the averments made in various affidavits filed by the States.

The apex Court saw no reason as to why the Court should ban such an activity when admittedly large numbers of families are dependent upon such processes. What has to be ensured is that proper precautions are taken. What is required is better supervision and regulatory control rather than banning of the activity. It is not for the Court to legislate and ban an activity under relevant Laws.

The concerned authorities under the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act 1986 should ensure that all the appropriate and protective steps to meet the specific standards are taken by the industry before or at the time of issuance of environmental clearance.

Court awards compensation to include chemotherapy not available on the NHS  

Court awards compensation to include chemotherapy not available on the NHS  

Article by Michael Hanna







Law firm, Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP (FFW) has won a £400,000 damages payout in the High Court for a carpenter who is battling for survival against asbestos-related cancer. The agreed award to father-of-two Amarjeet Singh Dahele, aged 52, of East London, is believed to be one of the highest ever made in such a case.Whilst working on three tower blocks in Stratford, East London between 1975 and 1977, Mr Dahele was regularly exposed to asbestos dust and fibres. He was required to saw and drill asbestos sheets and was showered with asbestos-laden dust and debris as scaffolding was removed from above him.Mr Dahele was diagnosed with Mesothelioma – a cancer of the lining of the lungs, only caused by exposure to asbestos. It is amongst the most difficult cancers to treat and the disease is notorious for its slowness to develop and for the agony suffered by its victims. Mr Dahele had received Pemetrexed (Alimta) and Cisplatin chemotherapy at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London but had been told by his treating consultant Dr Jeremy Steele, director of Bart’s Mesothelioma Research, that although a further course would be beneficial it would not be available on the NHS. As a result, Harminder Bains, his personal injury lawyer, included the cost of obtaining it via the private sector in the court action.Acting for Mr Dahele, FFW sued the company for which he worked as a carpenter at the time – Thomas Bates and Son Ltd, of The Old Brick Works, Romford. The company admitted liability after cross-examining him at his home. At court the company conceded Mr Dahele’s claim for nursing care and equipment in the sum of £18,593.26, the cost of private chemotherapy treatment in the sum of £20,000 and in respect of the lost years claim a reduction of 25% rather than the usual 50%. Mr Dahele received in total the sum of £400,000 for his asbestos compensation claim.Mr Dahele’s lawyer, Harminder Bains in the Personal Injury Practice of Field Fisher Waterhouse comments: “This is one of the highest awards in this type of claim and clearly illustrates the reasons why victims of asbestos disease should make claims for compensation. Mr Dahele will now be able to pay for chemotherapy which is not available to him on the NHS and it will also assist in looking after his young family which is of great comfort to him.”About Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP is a full service law firm based in the City of London. It also houses one of the country’s leading personal injury practices. For further information please contact: Harminder Bains (harminder.bains@ffw.com) (020 7861 4274) Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP.

How Much Can a Plaintiff Receive From the Court for an Asbestos Related Disease?

How Much Can a Plaintiff Receive From the Court for an Asbestos Related Disease?  

Article by Wendy Moyer







Asbestos related diseases such as asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma happen as a result of a person being exposed to asbestos fibers. Once the fibers are either inhaled or swallowed they stay in a person’s body.

In many cases, over the course of several decades, debilitating diseases develop. These diseases can be very painful. They often will preclude the victim from being able to work. And they are very expensive to treat.

Most people who have mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos while they were working.

History has shown that through the years many of the companies that were involved in the mining of asbestos or in the manufacturing of products that contain asbestos were very much aware of the health consequences they were subjecting their workers to. However these companies not only chose to ignore this information, they even went so far as to deny that there was any connection between asbestos and any life threatening disease.

Ultimately the truth came out and many of the people whose lives were jeopardized (or the survivors of the victims of asbestos related diseases) hired asbestos attorneys to stand up to the companies and hold them accountable for their actions.

Over the years hundreds of thousands of such cases have been brought to court. The amount of a settlement or an award is impossible to predict. It often depends on the quality of the attorney and the credibility of the medical evidence.

On February 27, 2008 a jury in New Jersey awarded .3 million to the daughters and widow of Mark Buttitta from General Motors and other defendants. What is notable about this case is that not only was Buttitta only fifty years old when he died, it is believed that his exposure to asbestos was a result of what was carried home on his brother’s and father’s work clothes. Both his father and his brother worked at General Motors parts warehouses.

In 2004 a seventy-six year old gentleman brought action against Asbestos Corporation Ltd., claiming that his mesothelioma was a result of his being exposed to asbestos in the 1950s. However, in this instance, the company’s attorneys were able to convince the jury that the man’s lung cancer was a result of his being a cigarette smoker.

What Can You Do to Enhance the Chances of Winning a Mesothelioma Case?

One of the major factors involved in successfully pursing a mesothelioma case is to have cancer specialists offer expert testimony and to have irrefutable diagnosis. A competent attorney for the plaintiff will make sure that his or her client gets their diagnosis from a qualified oncologist.

Because mesothelioma lawsuits are personal injury cases causation is at the crux of the claim. The more credible the testimony and the stronger the evidence, the more likely it is that the jury will find in the plaintiff’s favor.

So the first thing that you should do is learn as much as you can about the law firm that you want to represent you.
