Asbestos and Other Environmental Pollutants: Verdicts and Settlements

For decades, thousands of men and women worked and lived in areas where they were exposed to dangerous environmental pollutants.  Almost every day, we read or hear news reports about individuals and sometimes entire communities that have been affected by air, water and land environmental pollution. Read on for information about verdicts and settlements achieved by Weitz & Luxenberg in this field.

One of the most dangerous pollutants is also one of the most silent: asbestos.  Tens of thousands of workers in the construction, automotive and other industries were exposed to this dangerous substance.  They came home from work at the end of the day sometimes covered in asbestos dusts, and caused their families to be exposed to this carcinogen as well. 

Because of the decades-long latency period from the time someone is exposed to asbestos and for symptoms of serious diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis to appear, you need to find attorneys with decades of experience in trying asbestos and environmental pollution cases to help you obtain compensation for your injuries.
