Around 2000 people die of mesothelioma in Britain each year, a figure which has doubled since 1992 and looks set to rise further…
Cancer Research believe that 90,000 more people will die from Mesothelioma in Britain and a further 90,000 will die from other lung diseases related to asbestos exposure. The total future UK cost of asbestos-related diseases is thought to be somewhere between £8-20bn, with the UK insurance industry expected to face half this cost (£4-10bn). In developing countries, asbestos is still being widely used...
It is, therefore, more important than ever that insurers, reinsurers, and ‘at risk’ companies, together with their legal advisers, are prepared. In today’s asbestos arena, yesterday’s knowledge is simply not enough to win today.
