Recognizing that between 40 and 50 people die annually in Northern Ireland from mesothelioma--among them many women--a comprehensive compensation Bill was introduced.

It has since passed its second stage towards legislation, reported the Northern Ireland News on May 28, 2008.

According to the article, the bill breaks new ground by extending payments to all who are diagnosed.

This is because some wives (and other family members) contracted mesothelioma from washing their husband's asbestos work clothes.

Such cases of second-hand exposure to asbestos are now to be entitled to compensation under the new Bill.

From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.
