Court Ruling Allows Spanish Citizens to File Asbestos Lawsuits in New Jersey

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

A state appeals court ruled on May 27, 2008, that 15 Spanish citizens can file an asbestos lawsuit against a Delaware based corporation for health problems they suffered due to exposure from working aboard Navy and Coast Guard ships in Spain. The tradesman worked aboard the warships between 1950 and 1998, and claim that they came into contact with asbestos dust and fibers from high-temperature piping insulation the corporation produced. They now suffer from asbestos-related illnesses, including asbestosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissue of the lungs.
 
A three-judge panel overturned the decision made earlier by a superior court judge who held that the damage should be heard in a Spanish court. The appeals judges found that the decision failed to consider where the 14 tradesman and one survivor of a worker wanted their lawsuit heard.

The attorneys representing the corporations argued that the ships were subject to Spanish law when docked in Spain, so the lawsuit should be filed there.
 
Although the appeals court remanded the lawsuit to the Superior Court for trial, counsel said it is unclear just where the trial will be heard.

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

A new study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine indicates that that the combination of Piroxicam and cispaltin (CDDP) may be useful in the treatment of mesothelioma.

The study indicates that the combination of the two drugs can trigger a cell cycle regulation in different mesothelioma cells, which could prevent the spread of mesothelioma and help treat the disease.

The two drugs have a synergistic effect when combined that warrants continued study.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have shown promise in preventing and treating mesothelioma, since it is assumed that asbestos causes the cancer through prolonged irritation and inflammation.

Piroxicam, and other NSAIDs, have shown significant promise in anti-turmoral activity, particularly when it is in combination with CDDP.

Proposed Rule for Mine Safety & Health Administration Limiting Asbestos Exposure

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The United Mine Workers of America offered the following comments regarding the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s Asbestos Exposure Limit; Proposed Rule.

The Union is pleased that MSHA has issued a proposed rule relating to asbestos exposure in the mining industry.  The reality of the circumstances is that the Agency is attempting to satisfy the three recommendations made by the U. S. Department of Labor Office of the Inspector General.  These recommendations were the result of an investigation into the condition that existed and the human suffering that resulted from asbestos exposure to workers and the community in Libby, Montana.  Those recommendations include l Sea of Love trailer owering the existing permissible exposure limit for asbestos to a more protective level, use transmission electron microscopy instead of phase contrast microscopy in the initial analysis of fiber samples that may contain asbestos, and implement special safety requirements to address take-home contamination.

If MSHA had had an adequate exposure limit and enforced that limit, it might have prevented the current situation at Libby.  Given the widespread asbestos contamination at the mine and in the surrounding community, coupled with the high rate of asbestos related illnesses, no one can say enough effort was applied by anyone, to correct the problem.
