Weitz & Luxenberg remains in the vanguard of asbestos and mesothelioma litigation, pioneering ways of recovering awards and winning verdicts for people who have been hurt.

Since 1986, the firm has been representing individuals who have serious injuries related to asbestos, including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

Below is a brief list of our verdicts and settlements in asbestos-related cases:

  • $53 million verdict — brake mechanic suffering from mesothelioma
  • $37 million verdict — 2 asbestos lung cancer plaintiffs
  • $47 million verdict — boilermaker who died from mesothelioma
  • $75 million verdict — historic consolidated trial involving men who had worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the 1940s and 1950s
  • $12.7 million verdict — iron worker who was injured due to unsafe working conditions
  • $64.65 million award — 4 asbestos plaintiffs
  • $17.5 million — consolidated trial of 5 mesothelioma victims
  • $25 million jury verdict — brake reliner
  • $30 million verdict — 7 former power-plant workers suffering from asbestos-related illnesses
  • $14 million consolidated verdict — 5 asbestos-related cancer suits: shipyards/powerhouses/construction
  • $3.5 million — 2 asbestos exposure cases
  • $44 million verdict — 5 asbestos cases, including $11.6 million awarded to widow of sheet metal worker who died of mesothelioma

    From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.

    Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.

    • 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
