We may be able to help you achieve a financial settlement for your illness.

From World War II until the 1970s, thousands of men and women toiled in Navy shipyards across the country.

In their long, hard careers, these laborers were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. Many worked unprotected from the carcinogen, without masks or protective clothing. They breathed in asbestos fibers and dust, which remained in their lungs, and was trapped in their airways and lung tissue.

These employees did their jobs faithfully, not knowing how dangerous the asbestos was since their employers failed to warn them. As a result, thousands subsequently become ill with serious lung diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

In addition to the shipyards operated by the Navy, there are countless others owned by private companies throughout the United States.

From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.

Our firm has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure, or asbestosis may be entitled to compensation from the corporations responsible for their illness.
