In May 2006, the House of Lords ruled that compensation for
asbestos injuries should be reduced where responsibility could not be attached
to a single employer. Critics, including trade unions, asbestos groups and Jim
Wallace, former justice minister, have condemned the ruling. They said it
overturned the traditional Scottish law to such cases, and was a breach of
natural justice. As a result of this outcry, the ruling has been overturned by
section three of the Compensation Act 2006.
Mesothelioma is curable but this is very unlikely. It can be combated by
surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy and much like other cancers, the later it
is diagnosed, the harder it is to fight.
Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer The asbestos tragedy continues to unfold everyday
in all corners of America. Tragically, Americans continue to develop
mesothelioma and lung cancer because asbestos was a widely used construction
material for decades. From the 1940s through the 1970s, asbestos was used in
the construction of skyscrapers, power plants, refineries, commercial
buildings, homes, schools, and job sites throughout the United States. DuBose
Law Firm has extensive experience representing mesothelioma and lung cancer
victims in Texas and throughout the United States. We have the knowledge,
experience, and resources you need. Serious Personal Injury Most people
suffering from a serious personal injury never considered they might need legal
help — until they were injured. Hard-working Americans generally do not want to
bring other individuals, or corporations, to court. But as medical expenses
pile up, or time is lost on the job, or a family member loses their life, it
can become clear that financial assistance is necessary and that legal action
is the only recourse. Serious injuries affect not only the victim‚ but the
victim’s family. We will guide you through the legal system and keep you
informed‚ and a participant‚ in every major decision made on your behalf. At
DuBose Law Firm, we are as selective about the cases we take as we are
committed to providing focussed, individual attention to each person we
represent. Once selected, our clients benefit from our in-depth knowledge,
experience, and resources. We are here to help you.

A lack of facilities for terminally ill mesothelioma sufferers results in a
larger burden of service, according to Sister Phemelo Magabanyane, a palliative
care nurse who has cared for over 100 mesothelioma and lung cancer sufferers in
the greater Kuruman district in the Northern Cape. Mesothelioma is a
life-threatening cancer of the pleura or peritoneum which can be diagnosed up
to 40 years after exposure to asbestos.
