The attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg have decades of experience defending victims’ rights in practice areas that include: accidents/general injury, dangerous drugs, medical malpractice, and environmental pollutants.

NEWS UPDATE:

Magnani and associates followed 3,434 male and female workers in order to understand the long-term risks of asbestos-related disease. All were working at the plant in 1950 or had been hired between 1950 and 1986, when the plant halted production.

Both men and women in the group were at increased risk of dying from any cause, any type of cancer, lung cancer, and pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma, the researchers found.
