the attorneys will let you know.\nit takes years,especially if it is simple exposure and how massive of exposure.\nmy dad died of mesothelioma,so depending on what is being filed and extent of exposure it may be waiting for cause and proof from death also.\nthere are so many in bank ruptcey that it will take awhile for the judges to distribute settlements from the assets of the companies also.\nif it is going to the estate then the executor should have the information,usually they will only speak to this person also

There is.  The  Le Terrace Swim Club is located in Nutley. \n\nThe owners of that club violated NJ discrimination laws when they turned away "black" and "brown-skinned" customers and guests will pay $1,000,000 to settle a lawsuit brought against them by the ACLU of NJ who filed the case on behalf of six plaintiffs who were denied entry to the pool or who were retaliated against for defending the rights of others to enter.  \n\nMarci Shepard, was a teenager when her father died and she was invited to live with a couple for whom she had previously worked as a mother's helper. After joining Le Terrace in May of 2001, the family brought Marci to the club as their guest. An employee would not let Marci in, claiming that no more guests were being permitted that day. While the woman went to discuss the matter with the owner, the employee permitted a member and that member's white guest to enter the facilities. The family off the premises.\n\nYou can read all about it at the ACLU Website.\n\nThanks for sending me on this research...it's hard to believe stuff like this still goes on today (this case was decided in 2004) in the USA.

I don't think the details are publicly available. Check their SEC filings (you can use Edgar Online http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml ) and see if those papers are available

I did a search on Google and nothing is coming up.  There's plenty of other Quirions on there for civil matters, i.e. utility commission disputes and such, but that's it.  What time frame are we talking about here?

You should get in contact with a security company in your area.  If they do business in Fla, they would be able to give you details.  I worked for Pinkerton when I lived down there, and they took care of all the paperwork.

Many older "popcorn" and other textured ceilings have asbestos in them. Lead paint is also a possibility. You can have it tested. Particulate matter of any type inhaled to the lungs is a risk of emphasyma and other problems.

Those are likely still ongoing, especially as the material costs are just now being affected (what was already in stock was pre-hurricane in many cases). Here's what's been done already:

Starting in 1978, asbestos was not allowed in residential products.  It's use was already being reduced by that time.  Some of the last items to have asbestos were drywall joint compound (a few percent), some types of exterior siding and shingles.\n\nIn shingles, it is rarely "friable" (releasing fibers) because of the asphaltic binders.  Best not to cut it with power tools, but not nearly so bad as dry cutting asbestos-containing hard siding nor dry sanding older plasters or drywall compounds that contained asbestos.\n\nNote that most repair work has a limit of 100 sqaure feet or so above which you are supposed to use a specialized asbestos contractor.  A widely ignored requirement, especially for roofing, still, it is on the books.  One way to make a $1000 tear-off job into a $8,500 one.

The law firm of Weiss & Yourman announced today that it has filed a lawsuit seeking class action status in the\nUnited States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCO) securities from August 27, 2003, through June 23, 2004, inclusive.\n\n    Corinthian operates approximately 150 for-profit colleges and training centers in North America, including Bryman College, Florida Metropolitan University, Rhodes College and the National Institute of Technology.\n\n    The complaint alleges that Corinthian and certain of its officers violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the Company's lack of internal controls and that the Department of Education had uncovered violations in the\napplication process for federal student loans at one of its campuses in December of 2003.  The complaint further alleges that as a result, the school had lost its ability to receive advance payments on its student loans.  Only\nafter these events were ultimately revealed by certain publications did the Company acknowledge them to the investing community.  In fact, during the Class Period, defendants specifically denied knowledge of any "events or\nactivities that would warrant any concern in the Company's performance," and continued to announce record results and optimistic forecasts to the market. All the while, certain Company insiders sold more than $18 million worth of\ntheir personal shares of Corinthian stock during the Class Period.\n\n    Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Class and is represented by Weiss & Yourman.  The firm, with offices in New York and Los Angeles, has extensive experience in complex litigation, particularly securities class actions, and has been appointed lead class counsel in\nnumerous consolidated and multi-district cases.  You may visit the firm's website at http://www.wyca.com.\n\n    If you are a member of the Class as described above, you may move the Court no later than September 7, 2004, to serve as a Lead Plaintiff for the Class.  However, in order to do so, you must meet certain legal requirements pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.\n\n    If you wish to discuss this action, participate in this suit, or have anyquestions or concerns regarding this notice, or preservation of your rights, please contact:\n\n     Weiss & Yourman -- Los Angeles\n     Telephone: (800) 437-7918\n     email: info@wyca.com

I'd be willing to bet the client and then if the injured wins the lawsuit they might be able to claim the costs of reports under the settlement in addition to the hotel paying hospital fees, court fees, yadda yadda yadda. I'm not a lawyer or anything near it, but that just makes sense. I have no education about Jamaican law though, if you were visiting them, you're on their turf and therefor play by their rules for the most part! Unless it was the US Embassy:)

I would think the county government.  If you receive no responses from them, you might consider contacting the State Fire Marshal's office.  They may not have the direct power to address the issue, but they might be able to knock over some rocks.\n\nHave you considered contacting an attorney?
