If you worked in an industry at high risk for asbestos and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, or have lost a loved one to mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease, you have the right to seek compensation from the companies that caused the exposure. (Monetary compensation cannot ease your pain or make up for your loss, but it can ease the burden of medical bills, living expenses, and lost income and provide continued support for your family.)

Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC provides caring, professional legal assistance. We treat each case individually and carefully research and investigate every victim's case. We will explain your rights to you, discover the source of your exposure, and help you get the compensation you deserve.
