Thompsons Solicitors' Asbestos Lawsuit History
Thompsons Solicitors has run, and won more asbestos disease compensation cases than any other law firm. This has been an extremely significant aspect of our history.
Following a 1973 court decision, asbestos lawsuits exploded and began to take hold. The cases were filed by thousands of plaintiffs who were not impaired.
The First Case
The asbestos-related story began in a neoclassical limestone building on Trade Street in Charlotte's Central Business District. In 1973 the neoclassical limestone structure on Trade Street in Charlotte's Central Business District became the site of a legal landmark. It was at this time that a judge was called back to the bench after retirement and began to unravel a decades-old scheme used by plaintiffs' lawyers and their clients to defraud defendants and drain bankruptcy trusts.
Asbestos suits are founded on tort law, which states that a business is liable for any injury caused by a product, if they knew or should have known about the dangers associated with its use. In the 1950s, and 1960s, research revealed that asbestos was harmful and could cause lung diseases such as asbestosis but also a rare type of cancer called mesothelioma. Asbestos producers resisted the risks and continued to sell their products.
By the 1970s, researchers had developed more precise tests that proved the connection between asbestos and health. This led to an increase in asbestos-related lawsuits. The first case to gain significant legal recognition was Borel v. Fibreboard Paper Products Corp., which was filed in 1969 and was decided in 1973.
This case set the tone for many of the other asbestos cases that will follow. This was the first instance in which courts ruled asbestos manufacturers guilty under strict liability. Plaintiffs were not required to prove negligence on the part of the company, and they could also sue multiple manufacturers simultaneously.
The next major milestone in asbestos lawsuit history occurred in the state of Texas. In 2005, the legislature passed Senate Bill 15. This law required mesothelioma cases, as well as other asbestos lawsuit settlement amounts cases to be based on peer-reviewed scientific studies, and not speculation or suppositions made by hired-gun experts. This was a significant change in the law, which helped stop the furore of asbestos lawsuits.
More recent developments in asbestos litigation have included the prosecution of a variety of plaintiffs' attorneys and their companies under RICO which is a federal law that was designed to catch those involved in organized crime. Concerted efforts to conceal evidence, mishandle and discard asbestos lawsuit attorneys waste, conceal documents, and other similar strategies have been exposed by the courts, resulting in several RICO convictions for defendants and claimants alike.
The Second Case
Despite asbestos producers being aware of the dangers of their products for decades and decades, they put profits ahead of safety. Workers were bribed to remain secret about asbestos-related illnesses, like mesothelioma. When the truth finally emerged the tens of thousands of victims were awarded damages in mesothelioma lawsuits.
In 1973, a single instance set off a blaze of litigation across the country. In the following three decades, tens and thousands of asbestos lawsuits have been filed. Many of those asbestos lawsuits were filed in the state of Texas, which had favorable laws regarding asbestos litigation.
The 1973 court decision Borel v. Fibreboard Paper Products Corp.1 found asbestos defendants could be held liable if they negligently expose an individual to asbestos and that this person develops an asbestos-related illness. The case moved asbestos litigation away from the individual worker and towards the actions of the company. It paved the way for mass torts that continue to this day.
The case also established high standards for asbestos victims. This allowed them to recover their entire damages from just one employer, instead of several. Insurance companies quickly recognized the potential of this legal strategy and began to implement strategies to reduce their exposure.
These cynical tactics included altering the definition of "exposure" in order to reduce their liability. They also began to argue that the mere presence of asbestos in the air was not negligent because exposure can occur from many sources.
Asbestos litigation continues to be ongoing and new asbestos cases are filed each year. In some instances these cases, the plaintiffs are suing the use of talcum powder, which is a source of naturally-occurring asbestos fibers. These cases usually involve women who were diagnosed with mesothelioma following using talcum powder in the 1970s and 1980s.
Christine Biederman of the Dallas Observer asked a court to open Budd's transcripts of his deposition testimony about the coaching memo in late 2016. Biederman believed that the testimony would provide insight into Baron and Budd's role in mesothelioma's defense strategy, but the trial court rejected the request.
The Third Case
Asbestos-related lawsuits exploded in wake of the Borel decision in 1973. The litigation inferno raged for a long time. Many victims developed mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. The majority of cases were filed in Texas due to favorable laws and also because asbestos companies were headquartered there.
The defendants fought back against plaintiffs' claims. They employed scientists to study and publish papers supporting their defenses. They also used manipulative tactics on workers by paying them small amounts to keep their health issues at bay and encouraging them to sign confidentiality agreements.
These strategies were effective for a short period of time. The truth was exposed in the late 1970s when lawyers representing the victims released the Sumner Simpson documents and exposed the brutal conduct of asbestos mesothelioma lawsuit company executives. Asbestos companies were sued by thousands of workers who were suffering from mesothelioma and other diseases.
By the mid-1980s asbestos law firms started to limit the number of clients that they would accept. The Kazan Law firm focused on representing a small number of seriously ill employees who had medical evidence of exposure to asbestos.
Lawyers fought back against the asbestos companies' attempts to limit their liability. They won a number important legal rulings, including Force v. Director, OWCP (938 F.2d 981). This case proved that the duty to warn referred not just to certain products but to industrial premises in which asbestos was present. The case of Jeromson against Thompsons Solicitors was upheld later (unreported).
A number of the biggest asbestos producers filed for bankruptcy in the early 1980s. This gave them the opportunity to reorganize themselves through court proceedings and set funds aside to cover future asbestos liabilities. Unfortunately the trusts in bankruptcy created by these companies are paying asbestos-related damages to the present.
Defendants also tried to use the exposure-equals-causation rule as a defense in asbestos lawsuits. To prove asbestos exposure it was sufficient to prove that the victim worked at a site that used asbestos. This weakened the legal system and made it easier to identify asbestos-containing products for asbestos lawsuit history lawyers representing plaintiffs. Baron and Budd's "coaching memo" was a result of this new rule.
The Fourth Case
Clarence Borel's victory led to the victories of other asbestos victims. But asbestos companies started to fight for their profits. They began attacking victims from different angles.
One strategy was to attack the victims' evidence. They claimed that the victims' illnesses were caused by multiple exposures to asbestos from multiple employers, not a single exposure. This was because companies used asbestos in a variety of their products, and each had its own unique asbestos exposure risks. This was a grave attack on the rights of mesothelioma patients because it required them to disclose the asbestos-exposed employers of their.
Defense lawyers also began to challenge plaintiffs on the issue of compensatory damages. They argued that the amount awarded to asbestos victims was unjust and insufficient to the injuries that each victim suffered. Asbestos victims were seeking compensation for their emotional, financial and physical losses. This posed a major challenge for the insurance industry, as each company was required to pay out large sums of money to asbestos victims, even if they were not the cause of their asbestos-related illness.
Insurance companies also tried to limit the ability asbestos victims to recover compensation by claiming that they were not entitled to damages that went beyond the liability insurance coverage of their employer at the time they grew mesothelioma. This was despite the fact that medical evidence proved that there was no safe level of asbestos exposure and that mesothelioma symptoms usually occur 10 years after exposure.
One of the most devastating assaults on asbestos victims was from lawyers who were specialized in this type of litigation. They gathered groups plaintiffs and filed them in large numbers hoping to overwhelm court system. They also created a process for secretly coaching their clients to target particular defendants. They were often paid to do so by asbestos companies they targeted.
Although some cases were brought to trial, the majority of victims were able to settle with asbestos companies before or during the trial. An asbestos settlement is an agreement between a victim and the asbestos company to end a legal claim for compensation. It can be reached prior to or after a trial. It is not subject to the same conditions as the verdict of a jury.
