Cell phone company will pay to head-cancer patient despite winning lawsuit
Israel Created: 1 Mar 2013
The Orange network operator in Israel, Partner, will pay 400,000 shekels to a lawyer in his 50's, who sued the company, claiming he got cancer after he had been using two cell phones he had bought from the company.
....he got a rare and aggressive lymphoma near his left ear.
.....
He used the phone in the protected area in his house [explanation - this relates to a room with wide walls, that all people in Israel need to have in order to protect themselves from missiles in wars. It can be the internal room in the house which has more walls compared to external rooms, or a room with wide walls that was built especially for this purpose] and Partner is responsible for the damage that was caused to him because they did not warn him from using the phone in this room, in which the use causes higher emissions of radiation.
In the medical expert opinion it was claimed that there is an association between the cancer that the plaintiff developed and cell phone use, and that the rare cancer was discovered only in one place in the body - exactly the place where he was exposed to radiation.
Partner said in response: the company is following with extra strictness, after the guidelines and orders of the WHO, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Communication and all the relevant bodies. The lawsuit was not found to have any medical or scientific basis, and it was rejected by the court. Considering the personal story of the plaintiff, the company decided on an exceptional human gesture, we wish him full recovery.
