Asbestos and the future of mass torts

Article Abstract:

The combination of difficult situations and a series of unwise decisions were the reasons for the failure of asbestos regulation in the United States. A class settlement, bankruptcy, compensation fund and an alternative approach that would centralize asbestos lawsuits in a single federal court are some of the ways in which the asbestos crisis might be resolved.
