The Florida House Civil Justice Committee has approved the Asbes-tos and Silica Comp-ensation Fairness Act of 2005 (HB 1019), which will create new guidelines for asbestos and silica lawsuits that will help truly sick workers get fair and timely compensation.
HB 1019 enables the courts to focus on cases in which there is evidence to prove that exposure to asbestos or silica was a major factor in causing illness. However it preserves the right of individuals who have been exposed but are not showing symptoms to go to court at a later date.
