Manhattan’s skyline was built during the peak of asbestos use in construction. From the Empire State Building to countless office buildings, apartments, and public facilities, asbestos was widely used for its fire-resistant properties. Workers in various industries may have been exposed to asbestos, including the following:
These workers were routinely exposed to this dangerous substance without proper protection or warnings about its dangers. If the asbestos was disturbed or damaged in the general vicinity of their work, the fibers of the harmful mineral may have become airborne and put anyone nearby at risk of exposure.
The risk for mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos can last up to thirty years after the initial exposure, making it challenging to connect the illness to specific exposure incidents. According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year, with many concentrated in industrial centers like New York City due to the higher rate of the harmful mineral being used before it was made illegal.
Mesothelioma cases vary greatly from one claim to the next. This is due to the fact that the details of each case will depend heavily on the unique factors surrounding the exposure and diagnosis of the mesothelioma. Our approach to mesothelioma litigation begins with a comprehensive investigation into your work history and potential exposure sites. For clients with naval service backgrounds, Attorney Williams uses actual naval archive records that include complete equipment lists from ships, allowing us to identify specific asbestos-containing products you may have encountered.
We work with medical experts to establish the connection between your diagnosis and asbestos exposure. Our team understands the complex medical aspects of mesothelioma and can effectively communicate this information throughout your case.

Our deep understanding of these legal nuances allows us to craft personalized strategies tailored to the Manhattan judicial environment and your unique case.
