In addition to mining companies, property owners can be held accountable for asbestos-related injuries. The laws vary between states, but generally, property owners are obliged to keep their properties secure and inform workers of any possible dangers.
The Law
Asbestos is a class of naturally occurring minerals that once were popular in the construction industry because of its fire-resistant, chemical corrosion-resistant, and insulate properties. Inhaling asbestos fibers, however, can cause serious health issues, such as lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Following exposure, symptoms can be noticed 15-30 years later. Even today, asbestos is still present in more than 3,000 different products. If you are concerned that your workplace or house may contain asbestos, a qualified inspector should examine the area. A professional can determine what to do should asbestos be found within your home or workplace and will collaborate with a contractor should it be necessary.
It is possible to file an asbestos lawsuit against a manufacturer of asbestos-containing products. However, proving a defendant's negligence can be difficult. In certain instances, victims can seek compensation under a doctrine of strict liability. This type of claim doesn't require the four elements of negligence to be proved, but instead rely on the fact that the product was dangerous in its own right.
An asbestos lawyer can provide information on the various kinds of negligence and strict liability and can advise on whether this theory applies to your case. The law also requires that employers provide secure working conditions and safety training for their employees. This obligation may extend to owners of buildings where asbestos is used in the event that it is established that the building are utilized by third party employees.

Companies that file for bankruptcy protection are required to fund specific "bankruptcy trusts" that pay victims of injury pennies on the dollar of past losses. This system is criticised for its inconsistency of the system, and because it doesn't cover future compensation.
Congress looked at but failed to pass legislation that would have created a $140 billion trust fund for asbestos instead of pursuing litigation. The bill would have taken money reserved by bankruptcy trusts, manufacturers and insurance companies to pay victims. It was not supported by victims' advocates or corporations.
