Just in time for upcoming asbestos litigation seminars. the economists at Bates White have issued a new report on asbestos litigation, asbestos trusts and the practices of plaintiff’s lawyers in choosing and naming defendants to target in lawsuits. The article is well-worth reading as it uses data from Alameda County to prove the reality that as defendants have exited the tort system, plaintiffs lawyers seek out new defendants, among other things.
The article is in the new September 2 issue of the Mealey’s report for Asbestos Litigation, or presumably is available through Lexis/Nexis in general.
