Madison County, Illinois has seen a rise in asbestos cases over the last two years after declining from 2003 to 2006.  Part of the rise has been attributed to cases from outside of Madison County coming to Madison County, which has a large blue collar workforce that make up juries favorable to plaintiffs in the face of corporate defendents.  Additionally, the rise in asbestos cases is expected to continue to rise, as it has over the country.

Although steps have been taken to curb the number of asbestos cases, the numbers still increase.   As a result, new law firms haw spawned just to take advantage of the expected new asbestos cases.  Although a host of factors have contributed to the rise of asbestos cases in Madison County, plaintiffs still have favorable circumstances.
