More hoops for those with asbestos-related problems
One law says individuals who say they have asbestos-caused health problems must now fill out certain forms before a lawsuit can proceed, including what claims they are pursuing through other avenues like trusts that handle the assets of now-bankrupt manufacturers.
Proponents said they want to prohibit those who were injured from obtaining double financial recovery, once through a national trust and once through Arizona courts. Foes said all the measure does is mean more paperwork for those who need money to deal with their health problems.
