Asbestos disease and the litigation brought by its victims
has received a lot of media attention over the years, especially
concerning the bankruptcy of a number of asbestos manufacturers
like Johns-Manville and Celotex, and because of class action
lawsuits that were filed attempting to reach global settlements
of all asbestos claims.
It is important to know that persons who are now diagnosed
with asbestos disease may have the right to bring claims against
the identifiable manufacturers and suppliers of asbestos products
to which they were exposed and which caused their injuries and
they are not precluded from making claims by the bankruptcies
and class actions. Wilentz has focused for many years on learning
about the many other companies that made, distributed, and installed
asbestos products in the New York and New Jersey area.
Persons diagnosed with asbestos
disease may be entitled to bring a asbestos
lawsuit against the manufacturers and suppliers of asbestos
products which caused their illness and injury, and to assert
claims with the trusts of bankrupt asbestos makers.
