Our lawyers represent clients in the U.S. and Canada with lung cancer, mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases

Our firm is now able to take on asbestos cases in Canada.

Since our law firm's inception in 1986, Weitz & Luxenberg lawyers have represented thousands of people with cancers linked to asbestos exposure.

Many are laborers such as carpenters, boiler workers, shipyard workers and veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is only caused by exposure to asbestos.

Some of the attorneys in our law firm are pioneers in asbestos litigation and among the most experienced mesothelioma lawyers in New York State.

We have begun to represent clients in Canada who are contending with lung disease and cancers related to working with or around asbestos.

Weitz & Luxenberg is known for spearheading asbestos cases, among others, securing a $16.25 million verdict in 2008 in an asbestos lawsuit on behalf of a man diagnosed with the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma from asbestos-containing dental tape. The case, which clears a new path to justice in asbestos litigation, is believed to be the first successful asbestos verdict against that type of defendant.

We also achieved a $37 million asbestos verdict in 2007 in two lung cancer cases in a reverse bifurcated trial.

Residents of Canada have a right to seek compensation for an asbestos illness.
Many residents of Canada have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos products made in the U.S.

If this has been your experience, our asbestos lawyers may be able to help you receive compensation for your health problems.
