Asbestos Exposure in New York

Destruction from 9/11

The destruction from 9/11 brought much attention to New York for asbestos exposure. When the twin towers collapsed on September 1, 2001, the debris released hazardous asbestos fibers into the air.

Fireproofing materials throughout the buildings contained asbestos. Experts conclude the dust and debris from the rubble polluted the air and may have put thousands of first responders and residents at risk.

From 1858-1972, Johns Manville, an insulation and construction producer, was headquartered in New York. Johns Manville produced fire resistant roofing containing asbestos. Johns Manville became one of the leading manufacturers of asbestos cement pipe and fiberglass.

Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in New York

New York ranks 5th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 2,406 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in New York

You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live.

It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of New York. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.

SWMW attorneys dedicate the overwhelming majority of their time and effort prosecuting mesothelioma claims, so we know which states and jurisdictions are going to provide the best outcome for your case and can get your case settled faster.
