Does The Firm bring class action asbestos lawsuits?
If The Firm represents you in an individual lawsuit against the asbestos industry, we will also protect your rights in any class actions that apply.
There is also a class action in which The Firm is Class Counsel (the Fibreboard class action, also known as Ahearn.) In this class action we represented the class as a whole in negotiations and hearings in order to obtain the best compensation for all members of the class. If you filed a Proof of Claim in the Fibreboard class action we do not automatically represent you in an individual lawsuit; this must be arranged separately.
The Firm often files complex lawsuits on behalf of our clients. These are not class actions. Rather, they are individual cases in which we sue many defendants.
