7,500 Asbestos Claims Settled by Auto Parts Supplier

Dana Corp announced a settlement of 7,500 Personal Injury Claims involving asbestos-laden gaskets produced by the auto-parts supplier. They want to pay a maximum of $ 2 Million to settle all claims, providing the claimants submit the required proof to support their claims. This will help the company settle approximately 7 percent of the mesothelioma claims and 4 percent of the cancer claims filed against the Ohio based Auto parts supplier.

Dana has said asbestos-related personal-injury claims, which totaled 150,000 as of June 30, will pass through its bankruptcy unchanged.

It is important to note that the necessary supporting documentation is important for the claimants to receive any funds from the $2 Million proposed settlement. If they have any questions or concerns about the settlement or an asbestos related illness, they should contact an Asbestos Attorney or a Mesothelioma Attorney to discuss the case in greater detail.

Three Maryland Families awarded $3.97 Million in Asbestos Case

Today, three former Bethlehem Steel workers' families were awarded $3.97 million in an asbestos case. The three steelworkers, Henry Copland, Dennis Ellison and Elihu Alford, died of lung cancer that their families argued was caused by the brakes on cranes and the mill motor used to transport steel. The plaintiffs had sued General Electric in Baltimore Circuit Court over asbestos-lined industrial brakes used in cranes and other equipment at the mill.

Congratulations to the Plaintiff's Attorney that did not give up in the fight against the large corporate giant, General Electric. A spokesman for GE said the company disagrees with the verdict and plans to appeal. GE argued that its brakes did not give off dangerous fibers and that the men's lung cancer was caused by other materials at the Sparrows Point steel mill.
