5. QUESTION:
   asbestos lawyers taking my money?
   i have had asbestos case with these ga. lawyers for 20yrs. on my husband (died asbestosis)and cancer everywhere. he was 35yrs.old then. they have given some money, and said the rest are in bankrupt. the checks i got did not have a company name except where the law.office had printed. i want to see the original checks they deducted my money from. his secretary told me i was getting to thousand march 1991, promised, i might have gotten 15 in all from different com.? through the yrs.i am in tenn.he is in ga. i just want to know if i have been taken advantage of or how can i find out.

   • ANSWER:
     yes you have…You have know way of knowing how many checks or how much money the companies have paid your lawyers. You will never see all of the checks. They will only show you the checks that they have deducted there 33% from. You have probably been shafted for about 35 to 45 thousand. You need to get another lawyer that you trust. He will have to uncover the case with your other lawyer. This will cost you another 33% but might get you a few thousand dollars. It will be hard to find a lawyer to take on another lawyer!! Sorry, sounds like you should have picked a better attorney!

6. QUESTION:
   why people do not want to talk about asbestos and the people who been sick about it ?
   we have millions of people as of today are exposed with asbestos and going to die with metsophelioma and no one want to answer or talk about it. you have to be one foot on grave to be able to get some kind of help or hire a lawyer ,and our government is blaming the cigarettes for all the lung cancer in this country . they better start watching people that has been exposed in the 70′s is just begin to show.how can we help???

   • ANSWER:
     You are mistaken, America is awash with lawyers who want to talk about this horrible (but extremely rare) phenomenom, but it is hardly a “real” problem, unless you happen to be unfortunate enough to be a victim yourself. Mesothelioma will indeed kill some people, perhaps as many as 3,000 in 2008, whereas 3,000,000 people will sucumb to a smoking-related death during the same period.

     Where do YOU think we should focus our efforts?

7. QUESTION:
   Can you review this case? Please? What do you think is wrong with this case?
   Ok well a friend of mine is gong through a lawsuit about some asbestos where he formerly worked. It was a paper mill that was around his family and most of his family and friends worked there(The mill closed down like in the early 90s). A lawyer approached him and his family/friends telling them that they had a case. So they went ahead and sued and for over 10 years the case has been in the process. Now the case is supposedly settled. He called the lawyer and the lawyer says its supposed to be millions but he doesn’t know the exact amount. Some people in his family have died from brain damage, cancer, etc. which we don’t know if its asbestos related it could have been. The lawyer says you only get money if you have some kind of birth defect but you don’t get money for the brother/sister, mother/father that you lost that was possibly from the asbestos in the mill. Do you think this case is fishy? I think its strange that they don’t know how much money him and his family are getting….
   Also the case was held in Texas and we’re in Louisiana so all the court dates or whatever were never attended by him or his family/friends only by the lawyer. So no one knows what went on in the court room. His family trusts the lawyer with everything! They think that he’s going to do everything honestly but I was trying to tell them that lawyers are crooks and you can’t trust them to handle everything for you. Next week the family is supposed to sign to close the case and he still doesn’t know how much each family will receive. He says after they sign next week the checks will be sent out in the upcoming weeks. Plus there are some people in my friends family that weren’t on the list anymore because they didn’t have a birth defect…I think this is very fishy. Please tell me what do you think I should tell him to do because he feels that its stranger too. Thanks a million!

   • ANSWER:
     First you need to hire an attorney on your own because it is illegal in Texas for an attorney to ‘chase’ you. If indeed this was the case and there was a settlement, any fees collected by the attorney will be returned to you minus the fees for the new attorney. For example, if the case was taken on a ‘win’ basis, they usually keep 35 percent. You could hire an attorney on your own who would take the case on a wim basis and they would get 35 percent of the 35 percent. Say the original 35 percent was 100, 000 dollars, then your new attorney would get 35, 000 and you would get the rest. If it was a large settlement, this is definitely worth pursuing. If we are talking 35 percent of 10,000 dollars, you probably won’t find an attorney willing to waste his time on 3,500 dollars. Especially considering the hours involved in research and litigation.

     Then you need to go to or call the courthouse and ask to see the records, if you request a copy, you have to pay for the copy, but to view them in person it is free. You will need to know the name of the party being sued and the date (or a good estimate).

     I think that if I signed papers with an attorney, I would have been in contact with them and would know what is going on. Not sitting around on my butt waiting for it to rain money. Did they sign something? If so, read the copy. That would tell you enough info to look up the case at the courthouse.

   I KNOW THIS IS P &S ALL THE OTHER SECTIONS ARE EMPTY!…Also the case was held in Texas and we’re in Louisiana so all the court dates or whatever were never attended by him or his family/friends only by the lawyer.

   • ANSWER:
     A lot of it seems unfair but that is the way the courts work. The only thing that is real fishy is that the lawyer doesn’t know the exact amount. To settle the case, there would have to be an exact amount to settle on. The lawyer would take his share (most times 1/3) and take out expenses and then the rest would be theirs. But he should have the exact amount. I can do the math, wonder why a lawyer can’t.

9. QUESTION:
   Do you think whenever “studies” are published to the general public, there is a hidden agenda?
   For example, this moronic study http://www.aolnews.com/health/article/study-in-singapore-links-sugary-soft-drinks-and-pancreatic-cancer/19348936?icid=main|main|dl1|link1|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fhealth%2Farticle%2Fstudy-in-singapore-links-sugary-soft-drinks-and-pancreatic-cancer%2F19348936

   Claims sugar causes cancer – if it’s in the form of soda pop. So you find out where the study came from and it’s from the government of Singapore – the country that whips you with 7 foot long Ratton canes soaked in water on the bare assss if you spit on the sidewalk.
   You obviously can’t trust THAT study.

   Similarly, the global warming scam – government-sponsored “scientists’ using back-filled data and 100 iterations to reach the pre-determined “conclusion”.

   The cell phone cancer scare, funded by trial lawyers, salivating over the next “asbestos” type lawsuit lottery.

   It never stops. Should we conclude that all “scientific” studies that are widely published on lowest common denominator sites like AOL and Yahoo news are fraudulent?

   • ANSWER:
     There is ALWAYS a hidden agenda. There is no such thing as an impartial study anymore. Undesirable results are simply deleted from the list of findings as unrelated to the study.

     To go along with it there is no unbiased reporting anymore. Journalism in America is yellow through and through. Every subject is picked based on what information the AP decides wants us to know and is designed to manipulate the viewer or reader to think a certain way.

     So while I wouldn’t say every study is fraudulent, I would also say if you never hear any stories with an opposing view point concerning the study, it’s safe to assume that the study is fraudulent to a certain extent.

    It never stops. Should we conclude that all “scientific” studies that are widely published on lowest common denominator sites like AOL and Yahoo news are fraudulent?

    • ANSWER:
      Uh, no, that study is not “published” to the public, it’s published in a science journal ( http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/ ) and reported on AOL. You aren’t a very good reader as the study acknowledges,

      “But the study isn’t a definitive answer. Out of the 60,000 individuals studied, 140 developed pancreatic cancer. Of those, 18 cases occurred in patients who’d consumed large quantities of soda, 12 occurred in those who drank soda occasionally, and 110 occurred in those who never consumed the sugary beverages.

      In their analysis, the researchers acknowledge that the small numbers limit the power of the data, and “giv[e] potential to a chance association.” The team also cites four previous studies that found little or no connection between soda and pancreatic cancer.

      There are a handful of definitive or suggested causes for pancreatic cancer, making this study even more difficult to interpret. Aside from red meat consumption, smoking and diabetes, risk factors include genetics, ethnicity, old age, obesity and even excessive alcohol consumption.”

11. QUESTION:
    Question for certified lawyers: Regarding access to county records?
    My family is trying to get records from our county (Sacramento, CA) regarding the demolition of my brother’s last place of residence. The reason is that the home is suspected of having “asbestos” in its walls. Both my brother and my cousin were living in that house. Since the demolition of that house my brother and my cousin have both been diagnosed with cancer.

    I contacted the housing department for our county to find out why that particular house was demolished. The operator said that home owners do not need to give a reason to request that their properties be demolished. She informed me that they are unable to release the “reason for demolition” to the public. She concluded by saying that she could not confirm or deny that there was even a “reason for demolition.”

    My question is this: If my family hires a lawyer, will he/she be able to access the past records on that house? More specifically, will they be able to find out if there was a “reason for demolition” and what that reason was?

    • ANSWER:
      An attorney can petition the court for release of the records and they have no choice but to release them.~

12. QUESTION:
    Something for the over 30′s.?
    CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
    1930′s 1940′s, 50′s, 60′s and early 70′s !
    First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.
    They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.
    Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

    We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
    As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
    We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
    Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or Nandos.
    Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn’t open on the weekends, somehow we didn’t starve to death!
    We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
    We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with.
    We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because……
    WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
    We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
    No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
    We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars.
    We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY ,
    no video/dvd films,
    no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms……….WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

    We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
    Lawsuits from these accidents.

    Only girls had pierced ears!

    We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

    You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time…

    We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays,

    We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
    Mum didn’t have to go to work to help dad make ends meet!

    RUGBY and CRICKET had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Getting into the team was based on
    MERIT

    Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and bully’s always ruled the playground at school.

    The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
    They actually sided with the law!

    Our parents didn’t invent stupid names for their kids like ‘Kiora’ and ‘Blade’ and ‘Ridge’ and ‘Vanilla’

    We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO
    DEAL WITH IT ALL !

    And YOU are one of them!
    CONGRATULATIONS!
    You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn’t seem that long ago that we lived on another planet, where people were free to live a life and enjoy doing it. I now dread driving in “school run” time as it’s a nightmare created by the nanny state. We had two feet and used them to good effect and a bike was more of a hindrance than a help, but they came in handy at w/ends. It was then that we’d cycle miles to fish a pond that didn’t have any fish in it, but that didn’t matter as we made our own entertainment. At that time I would have made Rambo look like Mickey Mouse as we had the finest weaponry money could buy. Today you’d get six months for having these items, but we needed them. Not to stab or shoot each other but as tools to make things with, or in the case of guns and bows with real arrows a source of amusement. We made fires, not to burn things down, but to cook stuff on. No health and safety brigade needed, we had fathers who you feared more than the law as they were the law. Step over the line and the police wouldn’t arrest you give you an on the spot fine, oh no, they’d say the words that scared the life out of you “i’m going round to see your father”. Many times I thought about joining the foreign legion rather than go home, but for all our sins plus the things we ate, the trees we fell out of, we’re still alive.

    ***STAR IF YOU AGREE***

    • ANSWER:
      I wasn’t born in those years, but i was born in 81 – my parents raised my older sister (she was born in 78) and me pretty much the same way this email indicates… HOWEVER, my younger brother and younger sister were NOT raised the same way my older sister and i were – mom and dad bailed them out, no spankings, mom and dad made sure they got onto sports teams regardless of the try-out results, etc. etc.

      i totally agree with this – only thing i don’t agree with is the comment where mom didn’t have to work because dad could make ends meet. my grandmother worked (she was born in 1923) because she wanted to work. my mother worked because she liked to teach. i work because i like auditing (my job) – i plan to continue working after i have children, i just won’t work full-time. what kills me is when my mom says she didn’t work when i was younger – but she did!! she says she can’t believe i’ll let other people raise my children (aka putting them in daycare – God forbid!!). I see nothing wrong with daycare and i don’t consider it “other people raising my children.”
