Robert Samuelson on “Asbestos Fraud”. This is the story of “how the thirst for profits has led a small group of trial lawyers to erode the rights of legitimate victims while driving dozens of companies into bankruptcy and corrupting the court system.” Samuelson calls on Congress “to end this lavish welfare program for lawyers” by among other measures, preempting state law on asbestos, setting strict medical standards for damages, and capping lawyers’ fees.
