More Lung Cancer Claims in Asbestos Litigation ?

Here is the Madison County Record's weekly report on new asbestos claims filings. The article lists fourteen new claims. Five of the claims are for lung cancer.

I've not done a meaningful analysis comparing the rate of lung cancer filings, but my gut is telling me that there is a developing uptick in the rate of lung cancer claims in asbestos litigation.

  1. Lung cancer is quiet a common disease. It ranks ranks second in the listing for the most widespread form of cancer in US. Smokers and non-smokers both can develop lung cancer. Common symptoms are: persistent cough, chest pain, puffiness in face, neck, weight reduction, exhaustion.
