Lauded for taking the lead in the prosecution of asbestos cases, Weitz & Luxenberg won a noteworthy consolidated trial in 1991 involving men who had worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the 1940s and 1950s.

Weitz & Luxenberg represented 36 clients in that case and collected $75 million. Another case yielded a $64.65 million award for four asbestos plaintiffs in 1996 (NY, docket # 10893/95), and, in 2002, the firm won a $53 million verdict in New York for a brake mechanic stricken by mesothelioma (docket No. 12658-00). The Asbestos team has recovered hundreds of millions more for its clients, many of whom formed the core of the victorious Allied war effort in the second World War.

Composed of oxygen, hydrogen, silicon, and various metals, asbestos is classified as a mineral. Its fibers are strong, flexible and flame retardant. Asbestos also insulates very well and does not break down easily. Asbestos has been used in older plastics, paper products and floor tiles. Commonly, asbestos fibers are mixed with a substance that joins them together, producing asbestos containing material, otherwise known as ACM. Countless industrial products are composed of ACM, for instance sealants, cement pipe and insulation.

Thousands of people fulfilled their duty to the armed services and had contact with asbestos for quite a while not realizing that this could one day lead to the deadly disease: mesothelioma.
