PERSONAL COMMENTARY - 10/21/2008

This is my first personal commentary for the Law Offices of Stephen M. Frailich.  My name is Reena B. Frailich and I am an attorney working with Mr. Frailich.  Contrary to popular belief I am not Mr. Frailich’s wife but his cousin, in case you were curious. 

This year, 2008, is an extremely exciting year for the Dow Corning Class Action.  In 2008 there has been a significant amount of our clients settling their disease claims for Option 1, Atypical Connective Tissue Disease (ACTD).  That of course is the good news. The bad news is that the Claims Board is still not current with their review of Option 2 claims.  There is approximately a three year wait time before an Option 2 disease claim for General Connective Tissue Symptoms (GCTS) claim is reviewed. 

Even though there is progress there are also frustrations with this class action.
