-The first lawsuits against asbestos manufacturers were in 1929.  Since then, many lawsuits have been filed against  asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety measures after the link between asbestos, asbestosis and mesothelioma became known (some reports seem to place this [[Asbestos#Asbestosis and cancer|as early as 1898]]).  The liability resulting from the sheer number of lawsuits and people affected has reached billions of dollars.  The amounts and method of allocating compensation have been the source of many court cases, and government attempts at resolution of existing and future cases.
