4. Bush can't get a break on DU! The courts missed up the asbestos |
|
cases - the result is that just about every American can sue for his or her $2000 or $3000, rather than the seriously injured getting reasonable compensation. Therefore there have been no real settlements as delay is the only way out for those caught in the mess.
For once I agree with a liability limiting bill - provided it is reasonable and deals with asbestos liability only.
I had a file on this a while back -
if someone is interested I'll see if a powerpoint is still on my drive that I can email out. But each case is a little different - so what I have - if I still have it - would be the view from 30,000 feet.
Better yet the Senate Bill last year that almost passed had excellent hearings that provide a good background.

5. This is all about Halliburton and the Dresser merger. |
|
Both companies have over 100,000 asbestos suits pending against them as we speak. Dick Cheney's evil hand is all over this.
