Newly elected Democratic Vice President Joe Biden has opposed a bill
which would have reduced the number of lawsuits victims of
asbestos-related disease could file.
Biden, the longtime Senator from Delaware, along with Democratic
constituents, opposed a bill which would have replaced thousands of
individual lawsuits with a trust fund for asbestos victims. Critics of
the bill argued that the measure would end litigation for victims, thus
leaving them without proper compensation.
