Asbestos: Mesothelioma. Dying from Mesothelioma, a deadly cancer caused by asbestos, a former boilermaker stood up for his right to compensation. A jury awarded him $47,136,325, including $45 million for his pain and suffering. Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys Michael P. Roberts, Jerry Kristal and Richard D. Meadow argued that the two principal companies responsible failed to provide a safe workplace and acted with reckless disregard for the safety of others. After an appeal, a confidential settlement was reached between the victim and over 20 companies. If you have been injured, find out if you deserve compensation too.

Litigation may be the only way to receive the damages to which you may be entitled, such as medical and health care bills, lost or diminished wages, and financial compensation to family in the case of death. Your individual state's law may limit your time to bring a legal claim to protect your rights. You need to have your claim evaluated immediately!
