After filing the first asbestos claim in Ohio and the second in the United States, we have filed thousands of claims on behalf of workers and their families. All these cases were caused by the failure of manufacturers and distributors to warn end-users of the toxic nature of asbestos - a failure that has lead to a medical and legal disaster.

The Robert E. Sweeney Co., a pioneer in litigating these complex matters, has built a bridge of information connecting the legal and medical professions. Exposure to asbestos manifests itself up to 30 to 40 years later in the form of asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, a deadly cancer specific to asbestos exposure. We work closely with doctors and experts in building solid cases linking exposure to asbestos directly to the health problems our clients and their families ultimately face.

Our specialized trial teams have developed strategies and techniques that have produced jury verdicts and settlements for thousands of asbestos victims and their families.

These unique approaches to mass tort litigation will serve new clients well into the future as we confront the effects of asbestos, toxic substances, and defective products that contaminate our environment and workplace.
