When you or a loved one has been hurt through no fault of your own, you need
the help of an experienced attorney to help you. Whether you developed a
serious illness because you worked with dangerous substances such as asbestos,
an injury because you took a drug found to be unsafe, or an injury
that happened because of a critical medical mistake, our the lawyers want
to help you. Since 1986, Weitz & Luxenberg lawyers have
shown a proven history of success, securing settlements and verdicts for
countless clients in cases involving asbestos, dangerous drugs,
medical malpractice, general negligence and toxic
substances.
Our attorneys succesfully tried a case for two men
who developed lung cancer due to their asbestos exposure, winning a $37
million verdict.
Some of our more difficult cases involve people who
developed lung diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer because of second-hand exposure to
asbestos. Despite the obstacles in proving exposure in these cases, our
lawyers have prevailed in
many of these cases.
The firm's successes date back to 1991, when
the firm won a historic consolidated trial involving men who had worked at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard in the 1940s and 1950s. A Weitz & Luxenberg mesothelioma
attorney represented 36 clients in that case and secured verdicts of $75
million. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions more.
