Asbestos Lawsuit & Mesothelioma Claims

Holding Companies Accountable for Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP, we represent individuals and families whose lives have been devastated by mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses. Our firm is committed to holding negligent manufacturers accountable for knowingly exposing people to toxic asbestos fibers.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of silicate minerals known for their durability, heat resistance, and insulating properties. Once widely used in construction, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, and industrial equipment, asbestos is now known to cause serious and often fatal health conditions—including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Where Was Asbestos Used?

Asbestos was used in:

Insulation materials for buildings and pipes
Roofing and flooring products
Automotive brake pads and clutches
Boilers, pumps, and valves on Navy ships
Fireproof clothing and welding gear

Although new uses of asbestos have been heavily restricted, the substance remains present in older buildings, homes, and military installations across the United States.

Who Is at Risk of Asbestos Exposure?

People at the highest risk include:

Shipyard workers
Construction and demolition workers
Factory workers
Military service members (especially Navy veterans)
Auto mechanics
Plumbers and pipefitters
Firefighters
Family members of asbestos workers exposed via secondhand contamination

Diseases Caused by Asbestos Exposure

Inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to serious illnesses that may not surface until decades later. These diseases include:

Mesothelioma: Cancer of the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart
Asbestosis: Scarring of lung tissue causing breathing problems
Lung cancer: Malignant tumors in lung tissue caused by prolonged exposure

What Is a Mesothelioma Lawsuit?

Mesothelioma lawsuits are civil claims filed against companies that manufactured, distributed, or used asbestos-containing products. These lawsuits aim to recover compensation for:

Medical bills
Lost wages and future income
Pain and suffering
Funeral expenses (for wrongful death claims)
Loss of companionship or consortium

Why File a Lawsuit?

Many companies knew the dangers of asbestos exposure as early as the 1930s but failed to warn or protect workers and the public. Filing a lawsuit allows victims and their families to pursue justice, financial support, and accountability from these corporations.

Who Can File an Asbestos Claim?

Family members pursuing a wrongful death claim on behalf of a deceased loved one
Individuals diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease
Individuals with documented exposure who have developed symptoms or undergone treatment

Asbestos Lawsuit Results

Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro has a long-standing reputation for successfully representing victims of toxic exposure. Our attorneys work to expedite the legal process for clients facing advanced illness and will fight tirelessly for maximum compensation.

Don’t Wait to File

Asbestos-related illnesses like mesothelioma can take 10 to 50 years to develop after exposure, but legal deadlines (statutes of limitations) may apply. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, it’s crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim? Each state has its own statute of limitations. In New York, you generally have three years from diagnosis—or two years from the date of death for wrongful death claims.

What if I don’t know where I was exposed to asbestos? Our attorneys work with experts to trace your exposure history through employment, military service, or product usage.

Can family members also file a claim? Yes. Spouses and children may be eligible to file for loss of consortium or pursue a wrongful death lawsuit if their loved one has passed away.

Do I need to pay upfront? No. We handle asbestos cases on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation.
