Life Care Solutions Group Inc. is providing free long-term medical alerts to those who subscribe regarding long-term risks of cancer and other latent diseases caused from the exposure to the BP oil spill. This service is vital for not only early diagnosis but also for potential claimants to be aware their rights bring a ‘Back End’ claim for damages caused by that illness.
The risk of cancer is unknown at this point for Zone A and Zone B Gulf Coast residents and BP cleanup workers. What is known is that these individuals were exposed to carcinogens. Future studies are planned to follow BP cleanup workers to determine if there is an increase in incidence in cancer and other diseases. This is important for future oil spills but also to guide recommendations for future follow up and diagnostic tests to provide for early diagnosis.
From a legal standpoint these studies are necessary in a ‘Back End’ claim against BP to prove to the court that the exposure was the actual cause of the illness. A successful back end claim would allow for compensatory damages and not for punitive damages.
