Our New York mesothelioma lawyers file talc and asbestos lawsuits for individuals diagnosed with cancer of the lungs. New York mesothelioma lawsuits claim the manufacturers of common talcum powder and asbestos products failed to warn of the cancer risk.

New York Mesothelioma Lawyers Advocate for Talc and Asbestos Victims
Our team of New York mesothelioma attorneys have represented thousands of victims of toxic products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from talc and asbestos manufacturers and their affiliates, and do not file claims against our clients’ doctors or employers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified mesothelioma claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim New York talc and asbestos victims can make for mesothelioma compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. (Follow this link for our latest information on mesothelioma.)
Our New York mesothelioma lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm the use of a qualified talcum powder or asbestos product and diagnosis of a related cancer. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

New York Talcum Powder and Asbestos Lawyers File Cancer Lawsuits
2nd Circuit Mesothelioma Claims in New York
New York is part of the Second Circuit of the federal court system, and individual mesothelioma lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Talcum powder and asbestos appeals are heard by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal mesothelioma lawsuits filed in New York may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a talc/asbestos consolidation order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 2nd Circuit mesothelioma compensation.)
New York State Mesothelioma Claims
New York mesothelioma lawyers can also file talc and asbestos lawsuits in the State’s county courts (NY Courts website). Civil Practice Law and Rules, found in New York Consolidated Laws, set forth the State’s procedural law for lung cancer claims.
The State of New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a New York mesothelioma lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by talc or asbestos manufacturers regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the respiratory victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
