Mesothelioma: Why you deserve compensation
The subject matter, Mesothelioma: Why you deserve compensation
, is paramount. "According to Wikipedia, the first lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers were in 1929. Since then, many lawsuits have been filed against asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety measures after the links between asbestos, asbestosis, and mesothelioma became known (some reports seem to place this as early as 1898). The liability resulting from the sheer number of lawsuits and people affected has reached billions of dollars.[46] The amounts and method of allocating compensation have been the source of many court cases, reaching up to the United States Supreme Court, and government attempts at resolution of existing and future cases. However, to date, the US Congress has not stepped in and there are no federal laws governing asbestos compensation."
Whichever way people want to look at it,
the trauma of mesothelioma, (a cancer of the mesothelium), is not just an ordinarily problem. Like every cancer, it is a terminal illness and may kill the victim. Many others have made a case that the whole mesothelioma claims seeming boom has been abused but, again, even though abused, one can not run away from the untold hardship mesothelioma sufferers endure, therefore, compensation is inevitable. Mesothelioma lawyers of course think differently and I too believe they have a point.
Causes
All evidence points to asbestos of the causative factor of mesothelioma. It has been implicated in about 75-80% of cases in the United States alone. Asbestos can be inhaled or swallowed without immediate or noticeable effect.
Reasons why Victims should be compensated
The prognosis is very poor and survival is just about 6 to 18 months and many patients only receive conservative treatment in order to ameliorate the symptoms like pain and difficulty in breathing. Half of these patients on conservative treatment will die within 6months to 18 months which is an alarming mortality rate. So ultimately patients are only waiting for death.
Expensive treatment
Treatment is a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in some cases where possible. The cost implication of these treatments is overwhelming and a patient must have this treatment to at least have a relatively comfortable last days. It is inhuman to expect him or her to bear this burden when he must have been exposed to it at work. The financial and psychological issues require that a patient of mesothelioma needs to be compensated.
Government Corporations Negligence
For as far back as the 1990s, we have always known the dangers of asbestos. The scientific information warning of the dangers of asbestos were ignored by users of asbestos and even the government till date and workers who work with asbestos manufacturers are bearing the brunt. It is therefore immoral to expect them to bear the cost as a government is supposed to be responsible to its citizens. So victims are advised to
hire a mesothelioma lawyer to help file claims.
