Our New York mesothelioma lawyers file talc and asbestos lawsuits for patients diagnosed with lung cancer. New York mesothelioma lawsuits claim the manufacturers of common talcum powder and asbestos products failed to warn of the cancer risk.
As such, talc or asbestos handlers suffering from mesothelioma may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Talc and Asbestos Manufacturers Failed to Warn of Danger
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 that is filed within the Statute of Limitations time period. (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 illness. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

New York State Mesothelioma Claims
New Yorkers also have the right to file mesothelioma lawsuits in the State’s county courts (NY Courts website). NY Consolidated Laws, Civil Practice Law and Rules, set forth the State’s procedural law for bodily injury claims.
The State of New York follows a pure comparative negligence model. Accordingly, a New York mesothelioma lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by talc or asbestos manufacturers even if the lung cancer victim is up to 99% at fault. However, the claimant’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any). Click here to view New York’s asbestos laws and regulations.
