Who is liable for asbestos-related diseases?
Asbestos product manufacturers are liable for asbestos-related diseases because of their conscious decision to ignore known asbestos health hazards for the sake of business success. Correlations between asbestos exposure and health hazards were known as early as 1898 when the Chief Inspector of Factories for the United Kingdom reported to Parliament about the harmful effects that asbestos particles had on employee health.Asbestos attorneys are able to trace an asbestos disease back to the source of exposure and with it, the liable party.
