What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that forms on protective linings of the chest, the abdomen, the heart, and the testicles. (1) Many of the 3,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year can be traced to job-related asbestos exposure. (2) (3)

 

Mesothelioma usually takes anywhere from 20 to 50 years to develop. Unfortunately, there is no cure for mesothelioma, and the risk of developing the deadly cancer does not diminish over time, even after the exposure to asbestos ends. (4)

Who Is Most at Risk of Being Diagnosed With Mesothelioma?

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has estimated that millions of employees deal with risk in their jobs. Workers in construction and general industries face significant asbestos exposure on the job. People at risk for asbestos exposure in the workplace include some miners, factory workers, insulation manufacturers and installers, railroad and automotive workers, ship builders, gas mask manufacturers, plumbers, firefighters, and construction workers. (5) (6)

Shipyard Workers

In a historic court victory, Weitz & Luxenberg won a verdict of $75 million on behalf of 36 shipbuilders exposed to asbestos at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the 1940s and 50s.

U.S. Military

Many asbestos victims trace their illnesses back to the military. In fact, veterans account for an estimated 30 percent of those diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.

Boiler Workers

In two separate asbestos cases, Weitz & Luxenberg won $190 million for a group of five boiler company workers and $49 million for a boilermaker who suffered from mesothelioma.

Auto Mechanics

Many auto parts, including brakes and clutches, can release asbestos fibers when they start to break apart or disintegrate due to wear and tear or when they are removed and replaced.

Asbestos-Removal Workers

Weitz & Luxenberg won a $35 million verdict on behalf of an asbestos-removal worker who died from complications related to mesothelioma.

Family Members

Toxic asbestos fibers can collect on clothing, especially in asbestos-heavy work environments. This contaminated clothing can easily pollute the home, placing children and family members at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases.

Identifying Where and How You Were Exposed to Asbestos

Weitz & Luxenberg has represented more than 44,000 individuals and families who have been affected by asbestos exposure, giving our firm a deep knowledge of worksites across the U.S.

 

Our firm investigates each case, in an effort to track down the source of asbestos contact. Because we have worked on so many asbestos cases, we’re experts at investigating and determining where people were exposed to asbestos, what products they were exposed to and what company is responsible.

Shipyards

The ability to resist corrosion and high temperatures made asbestos a go-to material for building, repairing, and maintaining ships.

Power & Chemical Plants

Power and chemical plants were rich with asbestos. Employees wore asbestos clothing for protection from heat and chemicals.

Metal Works

With its heat-resistant qualities, asbestos was viewed as ideal for protecting workers and machinery in the metal works industry.

Construction Sites

Both commercial and residential construction relied heavily on asbestos products — it was on roofs, in tile, and mixed with cement.

Military

Veterans who served in certain occupations may have been exposed to asbestos, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. (7) (8)

Industrial Sites

Workers made an estimated 3,000 products using asbestos, and the industrial uses of the material were virtually endless.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long do I have to file a claim?

It depends on the state where you live, but you typically have 2-3 years from the time of your mesothelioma diagnosis to file your personal injury claim. Each state has its own statute of limitations. In New York and Michigan, you have 3 years. In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California, the statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years. You can search the Internet for the statute of limitations in your state, but consultation with an attorney is critical. If the calculation is incorrect, your legal options will be severely limited. (9) (10) (11) (12) (13)

How quickly should I contact a mesothelioma lawyer after diagnosis?

As soon as possible. Every state has what is called a statute of limitations. This statute determines how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. Typically, it is 2-3 years. If you do not file your mesothelioma claim within this time period, you may not be able to sue. Consultation with an attorney right away is critical to avoid possible loss of the right to file your lawsuit. (14)

Who qualifies to file a mesothelioma lawsuit?

When it comes to mesothelioma, you, and anyone else with this disease absolutely has a right to sue. You were exposed to asbestos in some way — at your workplace, your home, or through secondary exposure. And asbestos is a known carcinogen. It is a huge risk factor for developing cancer. Mesothelioma is a type of personal injury. When you have been injured due to a company’s bad behavior, you can sue. You have a right to sue whether the company intentionally set out to harm you or simply failed to take reasonable steps to prevent your injury. Weitz & Luxenberg has a dedicated team to handle mesothelioma lawsuits across the country. (15) (16) (17)

Do I need to travel to file a mesothelioma claim?

No, you do not need to travel to file a mesothelioma claim with our experienced, national law firm. At Weitz & Luxenberg, we have people standing by to answer the phone and respond to any requests that come through our website. Our attorneys respond initially by phone. Then they reach out to travel to wherever you live and even meet with you in your own home if you want us to. The only time you might need to travel is to appear in court. However, our success rate in handling mesothelioma claims means we often reach a settlement with the companies that caused your illness. In these cases, you don’t need to appear in court.

Can veterans file a mesothelioma claim through your firm?

Absolutely, yes, you can file a mesothelioma lawsuit through Weitz & Luxenberg if you are a veteran. In fact, one of our first cases involved men who worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard back in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1991, we achieved a verdict of $75 million on their behalf. And we have been helping veterans ever since. It doesn’t matter whether you worked in any branch of the Armed Forces — Army, Navy, Marine Corps., Air Force, or Coast Guard. You can always file a mesothelioma lawsuit with our Weitz & Luxenberg asbestos team. We typically don’t sue the Armed Forces directly. We go after the manufacturers who provided the parts and equipment you used. These companies knew asbestos was used in their parts and it could kill you, yet they chose to manufacture and distribute them anyway.

What happens if my loved one has passed away from mesothelioma?

You can file a wrongful death lawsuit. If your loved one passed away from mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure, Weitz & Luxenberg can file a lawsuit against the companies that acted irresponsibly and caused their death. You and your family members can seek compensation for the damages you and your loved ones have experienced due to the loss you have suffered. (18)

What documents or evidence do I need to start a mesothelioma case?

The more documents and evidence you have, the better for your legal case. Any documents or records you have regarding where you worked, who you worked for, and how long you worked for certain companies is a good place to start. Being able to tell us what kinds of equipment, machinery, and parts you used is also helpful, particularly if you know you used certain brands. Also, you need to provide documents regarding your medical diagnosis and any treatments you have received. Did you doctor take X-rays? Perform MRIs or other scans? Take a biopsy? All of this information can help us provide proof for your legal case.

Defective Drugs & Devices

For people injured by defective drugs or medical devices, Weitz & Luxenberg’s experienced team of attorneys, led by Ellen Relkin, can help discuss your legal options.

How We Can Help

Drugs and medical devices must gain approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to be sold in the U.S. However, approval does not guarantee a drug or medical device is safe. In fact, a defect in the product, incomplete labeling, or insufficient warnings can cause physical, psychological, or emotional injury. The manufacturer, not the FDA, is responsible for ensuring that its label is updated to protect the public safety.

 

Weitz & Luxenberg is committed to holding drug and device makers and marketers accountable for the harm they cause. For nearly 40 years, we have strived to help innocent victims harmed by defective drugs and defective medical devices obtain the justice that they deserve.

About Dangerous Drugs & Devices

A surgical procedure that’s gone wrong; prolonged pain and weakness; an inability to return to work or resume your normal activities — these are all potential complications, among many others, that can occur as a result of dangerous drugs or medical devices. Such defective medical products can have a negative impact on your life and the lives of your loved ones. In many cases, the injuries caused by certain drugs or devices are more debilitating than the condition that first led to their use. Fortunately, injured consumers can obtain exceptional representation with Weitz & Luxenberg.

How the FDA Defines Drugs & Devices

The FDA defines the term “drug” as a substance:

 

  • Recognized by an official pharmacopoeia or formulary.
  • Intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Intended to affect the structure or any function of the body (other than food).
  • Intended for use as a component of a medicine but not a device or a component, part or accessory of a device.(1)

 

The FDA defines the term “device” as an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part or accessory:

 

  • Recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them.
  • Intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other animals.
  • Intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals, and which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes.(2)

Current Drugs & Devices Cases

No law firm can restore anyone’s life or health, but Weitz & Luxenberg can help seek compensation through exceptional legal representation for harm caused by drugs and devices, including but not limited to:

Hip Replacements

Some hip implants have inherent problems with their design, which can lead to high failure rates, metallosis, infection, dislocation, or immobility.

    We helped secure $2.96 million for a laborer who had part of his leg amputated after an accident at work.

    Medical Mistakes

    Our attorneys won $8.5 million for the mother of a child who suffered irreparable brain damage during delivery.

    Medical Malpractice

    Though many doctors in the U.S. are skilled and caring, others don’t always put their patients’ needs first. Some physicians have used broken equipment, misdiagnosed patients, or made surgical errors. Unfortunately, these types of mistakes often turn out to be fatal. Patients and their families deserve to be compensated for their pain and suffering.

     

    For more than a quarter-century, Weitz & Luxenberg has been winning complicated medical cases. Since its inception, our medical malpractice team has worked on 1,000-plus lawsuits for wrongful death, injury, and misdiagnosis, recovering $7 million for our clients in one year alone.*

    Common Questions about Personal Injury Lawsuits

    Many of our clients have never before filed a lawsuit, and the experience can be overwhelming without the proper legal support. That’s why we make sure members of our experienced team are on call 24/7 to answer questions and ensure that all your needs are met. Some common questions include:

    Emotional Suffering, Depression

    Your injuries do not need to be physical for you to seek compensation. Emotional suffering is a form of personal injury, too. Examples include depression following the wrongful death of a loved one, or nightmares and insomnia following a car accident.

    Other Causes of Personal Injury

    Other causes of personal injury include: assault and battery; false arrest, detention, or imprisonment; slips and falls; wrongful invasion of or eviction from your private home; defamation; and publication of material that violates your right to privacy.

     

    Selecting the Right Firm

    When hiring a firm to represent you, be sure to ask questions about a firm’s experience and its philosophy toward working with clients. Throughout the almost past 40 years, Weitz & Luxenberg has successfully provided more than 100,000 clients with exceptional and compassionate legal help.

    Environmental Litigations

    Industrial polluters can cause extensive damage to people’s health and livelihood. One of the nation’s premier plaintiffs’ law firms, Weitz & Luxenberg uses its environmental expertise to obtain justice for communities affected by environmental pollution.

    How We Can Help

    Despite laws to protect people and the environment, pollution and contaminants generated by companies that negligently handle their chemical waste still poison our air, soil, and water, placing people’s lives and livelihoods in jeopardy. Consequences of corporate misconduct include property damage and plummeting property values. Health hazards include cancer, birth defects, and disabilities.

     

    Weitz & Luxenberg is a large and experienced law firm dedicated to holding accountable those responsible for causing these injuries and making wrongdoers pay compensation to their innocent victims.

    British Petroleum (BP)

    Volkswagen

    When tests showed Volkswagen had programmed its diesel vehicles to cheat on emissions tests, Weitz & Luxenberg was one of the first law firms to initiate a class action suit. The subsequent nationwide class action resulted in a $14.7-billion settlement.*

    Contaminants & Their Consequences

    The cost of chemical waste disposal generated by companies creates the incentive to pollute — either they spend the money to dispose of the waste safely or they discharge it in an unsafe manner that contaminates the environment, including drinking water.

     

    A company’s improper handling of its waste can result in the contamination of an entire town’s water supply. Oil spills into coastal waters can affect workers in the tourism and fishing industries. And man-made chemicals found in the environment can cause adverse health effects.

     

    Economic impacts of environmental pollution are devastating; the health consequences can be deadly.

    Volkswagen ‘Defeat Device’

    After tests revealed Volkswagen had programmed its diesel vehicles to cheat on emissions tests, our firm became one of the first to initiate a class action suit on behalf of consumers. Weitz & Luxenberg’s Robin L. Greenwald served on the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee, an important leadership role in the multidistrict federal court litigation against Volkswagen. Our efforts helped to secure a $14.7-billion settlement.*
