State by State Tort System Asbestos Claiming Data
The Asbestos Liability Risk Analysis (ALRA) Group continues to publish annual summaries of state by state asbestos claims data. The most recent paper was released on October 15, 2012, and is online here.The data set apparently is drawn from records of the clients of the the authors of the paper – they are defense lawyers. The data set falls short of perfect, and does not cover bankruptcy trust claiming data, but it’s still a useful group of reports.
