Your Legal Rights
If you or someone you know has an asbestos-related disease, you owe it to
yourself to make sure that your rights are protected. Your rights vary
depending on many factors such as your residence, where you were exposed to
asbestos, and the location of the responsible asbestos companies. Each state
has its own laws and governs the law differently. Each state also has its
own deadlines for allowing victims of asbestos disease to file lawsuits,
called statutes of limitation and statutes of repose.
To find out more about your legal options, contact Goldberg, Persky,
Jennings & White, P.C. today. Our firm was a pioneer in asbestos
litigation in the United States. The attorneys of Goldberg, Persky, Jennings
& White, P.C. have been involved in asbestos cases since 1978 and
participated in the gathering of evidence such as the testimony of corporate
executives and doctors and the accumulation of corporate documents that
created the basis for successfully suing the asbestos industry.
Based in Pittsburgh, we also have offices in Johnstown and Greensburg,
Pennsylvania, as well as Huntington, West Virginia and Saginaw, Michigan.
We have more than 30 attorneys who are licensed to practice in Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Michigan, New York, Indiana, Washington, D.C. and Arizona.
Our attorneys work closely with our experienced support staff of over 100
professionals.
We have represented thousands of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis
victims in Maine, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Indiana and Iowa. We have represented individuals
from many different trade unions including asbestos workers, carpenters,
electrical workers, bricklayers, boilermakers, laborers, plumbers and
pipefitters, steamfitters, sheetmetal workers, steelworkers and others.
Clients in these trades were exposed during the construction and repair of
powerhouses, chemical plants, and other buildings.
Because we are headquartered in a city known for its steel making, we were
one of the first firms in the country to successfully file cases for
steelworkers who were exposed to asbestos during the steel making process.
We have compiled invoices, deposition transcripts, and other information
that help us prove which asbestos products were used at steel mills and
other commercial and industrial job sites in various states.
Since we have been involved in asbestos litigation from the beginning, we
have a clear understanding of what is required to succeed, especially in
mesothelioma cases. In addition to our trial experience, we have a large
arsenal of corporate documents, depositions and medical articles dating back
to the 1930's with which to vigorously prosecute your asbestos case. We
work with world renowned doctors who are experts in diagnosing and treating
mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer caused by asbestos. The
combination of our evidence, experience and expertise results in the
aggressive representation of our clients.
