Asbestos Lawyer

The asbestos dust deceit has taken the lives of thousands and threatens to take more.

Our lawyers continue fighting back...

For decades, workers were exposed to asbestos dust on a daily basis unaware of the lethal dangers. The daily toll from asbestos dust exposure is 30 deaths1 in the U.S. and this rate is expected to increase.

People dying from asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer or asbestosis are hardworking people like you who worked in industries such as automotive, construction and textiles.

These are people whose lives have been snatched away by asbestos dust, as they were unaware of its dangers.

These are people whose families have been robbed of financial security while companies that made, distributed and used asbestos, profited.

Who can fight for these people?

On behalf of those harmed by asbestos, lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg have filed tens of thousands of cases to help provide financial security, access to medical care and dignity. The outcome?

In 2006, the firm secured a $25 million jury verdict in a trial against DaimlerChrysler AG for a New York City brake reliner who lost his right lung to mesothelioma. This is believed to be the highest verdict against Chrysler to date.

In 2002, we won a $53 million verdict for a brake mechanic suffering from mesothelioma.

In 1996, the firm won a $64.65 million award for four asbestos clients.

These are just some of the firm's many victories. Weitz & Luxenberg has recovered hundreds of millions more for its asbestos clients.

What if I don't see a multi-million dollar verdict?

Our firm has succeeded in securing millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. Beyond those million-dollar awards, still tens of thousands of clients have been able to recover lesser sums but nonetheless money that helps pay for substantial portions of medical costs and other related expenses. We have even obtained financial awards from asbestos companies that were bankrupt.
