Asbestos related disease includes :-

• pleural disease - scarring of the lung pleura
• mesothelioma - cancer of cells lining the lungs or the abdominal organs
• asbestosis – chronic inflammatory lung disease
• lung cancer - often associated with exposure

If the responsible party denies that their negligence caused a group of people to become affected by any type of asbestos related disease as a result of environmental contamination and will not compensate the affected individuals, there may be grounds for all sufferers to join together in a multi party lawsuit which represents group action.

This multi-party type of claim, also known as a group litigation, allows individuals who have suffered the same or similar damage or injury because of the same event to pool their information and resources together for a more efficient and cost-effective compensatory resolution. Class action suits are often the best way to handle these types of claims, as it is often difficult to impossible for one individual to litigate against a powerful corporation with unlimited resources.

The High Court sitting at Leeds has ruled that exposure to asbestos fifty years prior, from an asbestos textile factory located in West Yorkshire, could be directly linked to current cases of mesothelioma. This exposure occurred when the plaintiffs played, as children, near the factory and unknowingly inhaled dangerous asbestos fibres released through ventilation fans, open windows and played cose to an unsafe and dusty work area. It was found that the defendants had not exercised a reasonable duty of care toward the local residents, even though the contents of the dust emissions had been known to be dangerous since 1933.
