Lauded for pioneering asbestos cases, Weitz & Luxenberg won a notable consolidated trial in 1991 concerning Brooklyn Navy Yard workers in the 1940s and 1950s.

Weitz & Luxenberg handled 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 decision in New York for a brake mechanic suffering with mesothelioma (docket No. 12658-00). The trial team has recovered hundreds of millions more for its clients, many of whom formed the base of the triumphant Allied war effort in World War II.

Asbestos is a mineral. It is composed of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen and other metals. Fibers made of asbestos are powerful, flexible and will not burn. Asbestos also insulates very well and will not break down easily. Other asbestos uses include older plastics, paper products and floor tiles. Sometimes, asbestos fibers are mixed with a material that joins them together, creating asbestos containing material, otherwise known as ACM. A variety of industrial products are composed of ACM, for instance sealants, cement pipe and insulation.

Thousands of Americans worked in the armed services and had contact with asbestos for an extended amount of time without knowing that this could one day result in the life-threatening disease: lung cancer.

Mesothelioma & Asbestosis Mortalities Across the US: 1979-2001 (c/o EWG)

“We have seen first-hand how asbestos has wreaked havoc on Americans working in naval shipyards, automobile plants, and the construction industry. Most often this is through their employers’ conscious choice for profits over a worker's health.”

-- Joseph Patrick Williams, a trial attorney in the Asbestos Litigation department of Weitz & Luxenberg
