You may be viewing this website page because you need the strength and legal support of an asbestos lawyer. You have come to us to take a stand on an important issue. We have been taking that stand since 1986--and winning for people like you.

In a recent asbestos case, the lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. secured a $25 million jury verdict against DaimlerChrysler AG for a New York City break reliner who lost his right lung to mesothelioma.

The auto giant had known about the dangers of asbestos since the 1930s. Tragically, however, the company deceived its workers for decades, failing to inform them about the life-threatening nature of asbestos, a known carcinogen.

Our client's illness was entirely avoidable and our top-notch Asbestos Litigation team was able to prove as much.

Sadly, this case is but one of thousands Weitz & Luxenberg has had to bring on behalf of those whose lives have been upended by asbestos.

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

People who are very ill with asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer or asbestosis are hardworking people just like you. People who worked in industries such as motor vehicle production and repair, construction and the textiles industry.

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. 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.

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
