Asbestos is a fibrous mineral and a known carcinogen. For decades, it was widely used for its fire and heat-resistant properties. It is found in many products, including insulation, plumbing, and brake pads. However, people who handle asbestos and inhale its fibers are at risk of developing deadly illnesses, including mesothelioma and lung cancer.
You may be eligible for compensation if your life has been upended by exposure to asbestos. The New York mesothelioma lawyers at The Gori Law Firm fight for asbestos-exposure victims and their loved ones, and we’ve helped hundreds of clients recover compensation from the parties responsible for their sicknesses.

Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma in New York
New York has the fifth-highest number of asbestos cases nationwide. It has even established a specialized agency, New York City Asbestos Litigation, to oversee asbestos litigation proceedings in the city.
Construction and roofing companies throughout New York have a long history of using asbestos in their building materials. While the presence of asbestos in a building doesn’t necessarily pose a significant concern, it can be quite dangerous for workers and inhabitants when released into the air during repairs and renovations.
New York’s shipyards also present a risk to workers since many of the materials used in shipbuilding contain asbestos. Some other occupations that are at high risk of asbestos exposure include:
- Plumbers
- Pipefitters
- Carpenters
- Military service members
- Mechanics
- Roofers
- Painters
