  • Title: The Dutch Institute for Asbestos Victims.
    Author: Waterman YR, Peeters MG.
    Journal: Int J Occup Environ Health; 2004; 10(2):166-76. PubMed ID: 15281375.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of the Dutch Institute for Asbestos Victims is to compensate mesothelioma victims who have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace, while they are still alive, by acting as a neutral mediator between these victims and their (former) employers or their insurers. Representatives of victims, employees, employers, and insurers have agreed to cooperate in the formation and operation of the Institute. The process of reaching a financial settlement has been collectivized, standardized, pacified, and institutionalized. The difficulty of awarding compensation while victims are still alive has led to the Advance Payment Scheme.
