Motley Rice continues to advocate for the rights of asbestos victims and their families by supporting such organizations as the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), which was founded in 2004 to promote public awareness about asbestos exposure and asbestos-related diseases through education, advocacy and community involvement around the world. We are proud to support ADAO's 8th annual International Asbestos Awareness Conference, "Asbestos: An International Public Health Crisis," being held March 30 to April 1, 2012, at the Manhattan Beach Marriott in Los Angeles.

The conference will provide a forum for renowned experts and asbestos victims to come together and discuss asbestos awareness, education and mesothelioma treatment. Presentation topics will include:

  • 9/11 disaster response teams as victims of asbestos exposure
  • Early signs of asbestos-related diseases
  • India's toxic asbestos trade
  • Legality of asbestos in the United States and around the world
  • Mesothelioma education and awareness
  • Novel treatments for Mesothelioma
  • Victim advocacy and community support
