Weitz & Luxenberg P.C.

For over 30 years our lawyers and mesothelioma attorneys have helped thousands affected by asbestos disease, personal injury, dangerous drugs and more.

Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. was formed in 1986 by partners Perry Weitz and Arthur Luxenberg. Founded with the goal of providing top-flight asbestos attorneys and legal services to clients injured by negligent companies and people, the firm took root in New York and immediately propelled Weitz and Luxenberg to success, earning them a reputation as public champions. That reputation remains strong and is

still growing today. At W&L, we consider ourselves to be among the best law firms in the world at taking a client's case and achieving the result they want. There are hundreds of firms that practice the same kind of law that we do, but very few who do as well for their clients. W&L and its top-flight mesothelioma lawyers, environmental, personal injury, and dangerous drugs and defective medical device litigators have been recognized with dozens of awards and recognitions that reflect the elite level of our legal work. Our lawyers are regularly recognized with "Best Lawyers" and "Super Lawyers" distinctions, honors that are handed out by legal publications. Our lawyers also serve on the leadership committees of some of the largest multidistrict litigations in the nation and the committees of multiple asbestos bankruptcy trusts. W&L has evolved into one of the most comprehensive and resource-rich plaintiff’s firms in the nation, with the ability to provide elite legal services across a broad spectrum of practices.

The answer is: it depends. For some cases, yes, you go to court for a trial. In others, highly skilled lawyers, like our attorneys, can negotiate a settlement for you. A settlement means you and the defendant agree to end your lawsuit without the jury deciding the outcome. The decision to accept a settlement offer is yours. If you turn it down, your lawsuit may proceed to trial or end. In some cases, any settlement won’t be offered until your trial is underway.

We are proud to announce we reached a settlement with URMC. W&L'S James Bilsborrow commented on the case: “Patients must trust medical institutions to guard not only their health, but also their personal data. When that trust is violated, the organizations responsible must be held accountable. Weitz & Luxenberg does just that.”

Mr. Bilsborrow and the W&L team once again demonstrate one of our law firm’s founding principles. We want to champion the cause of people unjustly harmed and to obtain justice for them.
