Weitz & Luxenberg is known for spearheading asbestos cases, having won a historic consolidated trial in 1991 in regards to employees of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the 1940s and 1950s.
We have represented 36 clients in that case and was awarded $75 million. Another case yielded a $64.65 million award for four asbestos plaintiffs in 1996 (NY, docket # 10893/95), and, in 2002, the firm won a $53 million verdict in New York for a brake mechanic diagnosed with mesothelioma (docket No. 12658-00). Weitz & Luxenberg has recovered hundreds of millions more for its clients, many of whom formed the base of the victorious Allied war effort in World War II.
Made up of oxygen, hydrogen, silicon, and assorted metals, asbestos is classified as a mineral. Its fibers are strong, flexible and will not burn. Asbestos also insulates very well and does not break down easily. Other asbestos uses include older plastics, paper products and floor tiles. Usually, asbestos fibers are mixed with a substance that holds them together, producing asbestos containing material, otherwise known as ACM. An assortment of industrial products are comprised of ACM, including sealants, cement pipe and insulation.
Thousands of people served in the armed services and lived alongside asbestos for quite a while without knowing that this could one day bring about the mortal disease: mesothelioma.
