New Jersey and New York mesothelioma trial lawyers, Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP, have obtained a multi-million dollar settlement in a mesothelioma lawsuit for a New York mesothelioma victim who was subjected to asbestos exposure in the workplace while employed as a utility worker for Con Edison. The New York man was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the age of fifty-two while living in College Point, New York. Mesothelioma trial lawyers at LPK determined he was first exposed to asbestos in the workplace decades ago while working as a utility worker at various powerhouses such as Ravenswood Powerhouse, Indian Point Powerhouse, Astoria Powerhouse, and 14th Street Powerhouse. LPK filed this mesothelioma lawsuit at the Supreme Court for the State of New York, located in downtown Manhattan, against the companies responsible for the plaintiff’s workplace asbestos exposure. This multimillion dollar settlement was obtained by mesothelioma trial lawyers at LPK as the result of litigation against these companies in the New York City Asbestos Litigation (NYCAL), which is a coordinated litigation effort designed to efficiently resolve the claims of people who have suffered from asbestos-related diseases including mesothelioma.
Asbestos is the only known asbestos exposure in the workplace or home. 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.
Mesothelioma trial lawyers at LPK have prosecutedZz mesothelioma lawsuits in New York and New Jersey for more than twenty-five years.
