Atlanta Mesothelioma Lawyer
Atlanta, one of the quickly growing cities in the U.S., is the capital of and the most populous city in Georgia. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a population of approximately 443800. The growth of the city started in the 1920s, with a boom in the manufacturing, construction and mining industries. Unfortunately, most part of this growth was in a period when the use of asbestos was at its peak. Almost all industries in Atlanta and across the U.S. relied heavily on asbestos because of its heat-resistant and insulation properties. Companies used asbestos even though they were aware of the injurious features of the mineral. This use continued until the mid-1980s when the EPA set strict regulations on asbestos. As a result, numerous former Atlanta workers developed injuries including mesothelioma.
If you or a loved one has contracted mesothelioma or other injuries linked to asbestos exposure, you could obtain compensation from asbestos trust funds. A capable Atlanta mesothelioma lawyer can help you not only to get this payout in 90 days, but also to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible parties and hold them accountable.
Georgia Pacific
In 2005, Georgia Pacific, a leading Atlanta-based manufacturing company, was sued for exposing employees to asbestos decades back. Though the company no longer uses asbestos in its products, it faced more than 600,000 suits after numerous employees started developing fatal diseases including asbestosis and mesothelioma.
After facing numerous suits, the company confidentially hired researchers for performing studies to prove that their product (Ready-Mix) wasn’t responsible for hazards. However, when asked about private research, the company was unwilling to answer and stated that they weren’t mandated to disclose any information under attorney-client privilege. But the New York appeals court determined that Georgia Pacific acted fraudulently. The court also demanded to hand over the research paperwork for review.
