America’s legal system intended to compensate people truly harmed by asbestos, but the system is out-of-control and driven by plaintiff lawyer greed. Put simply, the current process is treating injured persons unequally and taking compensation away from legitimate future claimants. The causes? A lack of oversight and transparency, conflicts of interest, weak evidence standards, high fees, inequitable treatment of claims and outright fraud.

Rooting out fraud and abuse now will help legitimate asbestos claimants who deserve to be compensated for their injuries, as well as the millions of other Americans who are affected by asbestos litigation abuse.
