Asbestos Company Litigation

It has been clearly established that many of the corporations which manufactured asbestos insulation in the 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's knew it was hazardous but kept this information secret, choosing profits over safety.

We recover compensation from companies who manufactured various asbestos-containing products. The legal basis of these suits is the asbestos companies' failure to warn consumers and workers about the hazards of asbestos. It has been proven that some of these companies have known about the hazards of asbestos as far back as the 1920's. This has been established through internal company documents, through testimony of company employees, and through medical literature which they had access to.

Over the following 40+ years the industry made billions of dollars manufacturing asbestos insulation for almost every building, industrial site, home, school, ship, car, plane, pipe, etc. in America.

Contrary to popular belief, it is still legal to sell products that contain asbestos.

Many construction workers and industrial tradesmen prior to the mid-1970's were exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos, which they inhaled, as asbestos insulation was being cut, sawed, mixed or sprayed. These workers were never warned about the dangers of asbestos and considered it harmless. They were never given masks or ventilation, nor were dust counts ever taken.

By holding the asbestos industry accountable we help workers and their families recover compensation for mesothelioma and other diseases and death caused by asbestos. The goal is financial security for families.
