HOW A NEW YORK MESOTHELIOMA LAWSUIT FOR A HUSBAND'S MESOTHELIOMA DIAGNOSIS CHANGED A FAMILY'S LIFE

Guest Milka Zovich, wife of a New York construction worker who was employed to build homes, explains how her husband was exposed to asbestos for 10-12 hours a day for 25 years. Once he had a mesothelioma diagnosis, his condition deteriorated very quickly. Mrs. Zovich explains how difficult it was for her and other family members to see the physical and emotional decline of a loved one.


The prognosis for people with a mesothelioma diagnosis is very poor, with most people living only several years after diagnosis. Mrs. Zovich and her husband decided to file a New York mesothelioma lawsuit and chose Robert Komitor of Levy, Phillips & Konigsberg to represent the family. Mr. Komitor is a respected New York mesothelioma lawyer and is a litigator of many New York mesothelioma lawsuits. Mr. Komitor can be seen on this video as the co-host interviewing Mrs. Zovich. Mrs. Zovich discusses how her family's decision to file a mesothelioma lawsuit in New York against the responsible parties helped her family; she is now able to provide funds for college for her children.

The losses suffered by a spouse, like Mrs. Zovich, are recognized under the law through a claim for loss of services and society (also known as loss of consortium). The jury is permitted to evaluate, not only the suffering of the person diagnosed with mesothelioma, but also the losses of a spouse that derive from having a spouse with this fatal asbestos cancer.

Mrs. Zovich and her husband's lawsuit was filed in the New York City Asbestos Litigation based in Manhattan, which provides a procedure to efficiently resolve asbestos mesothelioma lawsuits. A similar asbestos litigation exists in New Jersey, and is based in Middlesex County.

New York mesothelioma lawyer Mr. Komitor works with a mesothelioma law firm that is based in New York and New Jersey, and represents victims of mesothelioma in lawsuits throughout the United States.
