Asbestos-Related Companies

Throughout the 20th century, companies made or sold thousands of asbestos-containing products — ranging from brakes in vehicles to building and construction materials. Sadly, many companies knew about the dangers of asbestos exposure but hid the risks from employees and consumers.

At Sokolove Law, we’ve recovered over $4.9 Billion for thousands of mesothelioma patients and their families nationwide. Call (800) 647-3434 now to see if you qualify for compensation.
