Our Firm Recovers $2 Million for Pipefitter with Asbestos-Related Lung
Cancer
In one of its many asbestos victories,
Weitz & Luxenberg recovered $2 million for a pipefitter who developed lung cancer from exposure to asbestos
dust.
The pipefitter was not warned by his employer of the dangers of
being in contact with the toxic substance. This case is but one example of how
the firm has successfully fought for the rights of those who were unknowingly exposed to asbestos.
The firm
has similarly helped over 300 pipefitters receive compensation. Such financial
awards help those with asbestos dust-related illnesses receive medical care.
They are also better able to support their families.
Important: Even
if your job does not expose you to asbestos dust, you may still be at risk for
developing an asbestos-related illness if you live with someone who works as a
pipefitter. Learn more.
It is important to note that your legal rights won't last
forever.
The deadline began to rapidly approach the day you were
diagnosed.
The asbestos
industry has profited from your hard work by hiding the dangers of asbestos dust. Do not give up your rights,
your health and your financial future to the asbestos industry. Weitz &
Luxenberg has won millions of dollars for hard working people like you who were
harmed by asbestos. Let us fight for you too.

“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
