In the very early stages of representing a new client with mesothelioma, the attorneys at Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC evaluate the case to determine whether there are any non-bankrupt asbestos defendants potentially responsible for the victim’s injuries. In cases where we determine that there are responsible defendants who can be sued, we take immediate steps to begin a lawsuit, and we work diligently to complete all of the necessary aspects of the litigation in a timely manner so that the case can be brought to trial within approximately one year of the date that we were retained. Under New York State law, cases involving fatal conditions such as mesothelioma are given preference for trial. After being retained, we work hard to push the case forward, completing the necessary depositions and discovery quickly so that we can preserve the trial date.
