The news is filled with people who are fighting for their right to seek compensation for asbestos illnesses. In recent events, Erie County will receive around $1.2 million in a settlement from a lawsuit against makers of asbestos, reported the Buffalo News on August 19, 2008.

The County joined the lawsuit years ago, against a major manufacturer and nationwide distributor of building materials containing asbestos.

Another company in the lawsuit mined and distributed asbestos fiber.

The companies reportedly went into bankruptcy protection after being named in thousands of lawsuits filed by people claiming personal injury from asbestos, and by property owners with asbestos materials in their buildings.

Unfortunately, the makers of asbestos and asbestos-containing products and the companies that marketed them to the public, knew all too well of the dangers to a person's health.

Our law firm also has ample documentation of employers who allowed their workers to toil unprotected with asbestos, even after learning of the hazards.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.
