For nearly 50 years, Joe worked on the steam tunnels that provided heat to New York City. His job often entailed replacing pipes, valves, and steam traps that contained asbestos.
A decade after retiring, Joe developed a persistent cough. He repeatedly had fluid drained from his lungs and underwent thoracic surgery. In 2015, doctors finally determined that he had pleural mesothelioma.
Joe decided to work with our New York City asbestos lawyers to ensure his family would be financially secure after he passed away. They carried on with a mesothelioma claim after his death and got the justice Joe deserved.
After graduating from college, Ernest served in the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the USS Prevail. He often spent time below deck with his shipmates as they performed work on various equipment that contained asbestos.

While receiving treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Ernest contacted our New York City asbestos lawyers for help. We were able to secure a mesothelioma settlement on his behalf, allowing him to receive compensation without going to court.
