A Trust Fund Victims Can't Trust
Rosemary Green’s story
Baltimore, Maryland. It is scary when your parents work hard to provide you with a safe home, but the very work they do brings dangerous materials into your home. Rosemary’s father was an insulator with the Asbestos Workers Union, and she was exposed to asbestos from her father’s work clothes.
Rosemary’s father was diagnosed and passed away in 1982 after battling mesothelioma, a terminal cancer caused only by asbestos. Now, Rosemary has also been afflicted with this horrible condition.
Rosemary’s main exposure began with the date of her birth in 1939 until she left her parents’ home in 1957, though of course, she visited her parents regularly thereafter.
A loving grandmother, Rosemary is the primary caregiver for her grandchild, and today she worries about her grandchild’s future when she loses her own battle with the same condition that took her father.
How would the asbestos bailout bill hurt Rosemary’s family?
Rosemary’s case is pending in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City, State of Maryland, but would be eliminated should the Asbestos Bailout Bill be enacted. Rosemary would be forced to start the claims process from the beginning under the proposed asbestos trust fund.
