Levy, Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP, the New Jersey and New York City Personal Injury Lawyers specializing in
mesothelioma Asbestos claims, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a New York mesothelioma victim exposed to Asbestos-containing materials while working at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The mesothelioma victim claims he was also exposed to Asbestos products while working as a sheet-metal worker at various New York City sites including, but not limited to, the Metropolitan Bath House, the Bronx School of Science, Central General Hospital and others. This New York man sought the services of the
New York City personal injury lawyers after developing mesothelioma at the age of 71 while living in Montauk, New York. The lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of New York in New York County on the claim that mesothelioma was caused by Asbestos exposure.
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. Mesothelioma can be caused from
exposure to Asbestos 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.
New York City Personal Injury Lawyers at Levy, Phillips & Konigsberg have prosecuted
mesothelioma Asbestos claims on behalf of mesothelioma victims in New York and New Jersey for more than twenty-five years.
