Asbestos law suit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, located in downtown Manhattan, against the companies responsible for the Asbestos exposure. The case is part of the
New York City Asbestos Litigation (NYCAL) which is a coordinated litigation designed to efficiently resolve claims of victims of Asbestos-related diseases including mesothelioma.
Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a fatal cancer that occurs primarily in the lining of the lungs and the abdomen. Mesothelioma typically occurs at least fifteen years after the first exposure to Asbestos. Asbestos can cause mesothelioma even when the exposure occurs for a short duration. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and exposure can occur without a worker even knowing it. Mesothelioma occurs not only in people working directly with Asbestos products but also in bystanders and family members exposed to Asbestos dust.
Asbestos law suits have been prosecuted by the mesothelioma trial lawyers at LPK on behalf of mesothelioma victims in New York and New Jersey for more than twenty-five years.
