Insurers must pay asbestos laughing sacrifice
LONDON (RTR) - the British hooggerechtshof has stipulated
Tuesday that insurance companies and the British government must pay
damages to asbestos laughing sacrifice. The pronouncement, which
is related to some thousands of polishouders, is considered as a heavy
battle for the British insurers, already the judge limited the scope
of damages.
Aviva, the moederconcern of delta Lloyd, Zurich Insurance,
component of Zurich Financial services and the government had pleaded
the damages to cross out at patiënten for bindweefselvorming in
the lungs. That the consequence of inhaling asbestos has been
caused, but seldom kortademigheid, pain or other sickness phenomena.
The insurers and government stalks thus that these lung
disorders cannot be commented as a sickness or blessure.
But that orphan the hooggerechtshof of the hand. Judges
being psychological damage arisen on concern and from that.
Those could be considered in its eyes as a basis of the lawsuit.
The court reduced however the altitude of damages. The
advance on the eventual benefit brought back he to an amount between
3500 pond and 4000 pond (between 5200 euro and 5900 euro), where at an
more earlier stage a sum between 5000 pond and 7000 pond had been
stipulated. Eventual damages come lie between 6000 pond and 7000
pond (between 8900 euro and 10,400 euro). Here initial talk of a
benefit of between 12,500 and 20,000 pond was.
The number of claims as a result of bindweefselvorming in the
lungs with which the insurance line becomes annually is faced has
incurred of two hundred in 1990, to 3300 in 2002, thus Aviva.
British insurance companies have paid approximately 1.5 billion
pond (2.2 billion euro) to British asbestos laughing sacrifice.
The coming three decades these costs will swell up to 4 billion
à 10 billion pond (5.9 billion à 14.8 billion
pond). <! - - showBanner('336X280 ', ' MIDDLE);
