Mesothelioma and Asbestos Attorneys in Buffalo, NY

Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria has been at the forefront of asbestos law for many years. In fact, the firm successfully pushed for the legislation that allows injured workers to sue for compensation. Our mesothelioma and asbestos attorneys, based in Buffalo, NY, can help you obtain a just award.

Fighting for the whole family

Lipsitz Green attorneys have a deep understanding of the devastating medical issues that can result from asbestos exposure, including mesothelioma, other cancers, and lung scarring. We also understand that family members can suffer physically from exposure to contaminated clothing—in addition to the suffering they face from the emotional and financial hardships that can result when a loved one is seriously ill. For these reasons, Lipsitz Green fights for care and compensation for the whole family. In the case of death, we fight for just compensation for surviving dependents.

Exclusive industry documentation that can help your case

Our attorneys are immersed in the industries that have often led to asbestos exposure, including manufacturing, chemical, and construction. This insider information can be invaluable to helping obtain the compensation you deserve. Our attorneys have compiled exclusive documentation of industry misdeeds that can help you obtain a just award.

In addition to aggressively and knowledgeably arguing for your rights in court, Lipsitz Green’s savvy workers’ compensation attorneys are available to help you obtain benefits from this source. As a full-service law firm, you will have access to attorneys working in any practice area that may assist your case.
