Changing The Laws For Asbestos Exposure
A family of a woman that died from mesothelioma cancer wants the laws changed in the UK so that second hand suffers of asbestos exposure can file and win lawsuits. Apparently, this woman, Maureen Gardiner, was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer in 2006 and died from this cancer in 2007. It is said that even though she had never worked with asbestos directly, she was exposed to asbestos fibers when she would wash her husband’s clothes. Her husband’s career was in the 50’s and 60’s.
The law now reads that her death was accidental and not industrial. Therefore, the family cannot file a lawsuit. If the law were changed to include second hand exposure to asbestos, then her family could file a lawsuit. Even if you were not directly exposed to asbestos, you need to seek asbestos legal advice to see what can be done to help you. Never let any laws discourage you from talking with asbestos attorneys.
Until all asbestos removal is done in the world, people are going to be exposed to asbestos in one way or another. It is important that anyone exposed seek legal advice. It does not cost anything to ask questions and get answers. You can find out some answers and then know where you stand legally if you are exposed to asbestos directly or indirectly.
