Experience
Allen
M. Stewart has represented hundreds of toxic exposure victims in courts throughout the country. He's won numerous toxic exposure trial verdicts, some of which are represented below. Allen has been named among
the top 45 lawyers under the age of 45 by American Lawyer magazine
(January 20, 2003), and he was also named to the National Law
Journal’s list of “40 Under 40 – Most Successful Litigators
in America” (July 29, 2002). His intensity, intelligence, creativity, and dedication have also resulted in hundreds of settlements reached on behalf of victims of toxic exposures. Due to his trial abilities, other firms have asked Al to try their cases for them.
Steve
Baughman Jensen has represented victims of a wide variety
of toxic exposures for 14 years, including cases involving such
substances as asbestos, trichloroethylene (TCE), lead, radiation,
beryllium, benzene, mercury, arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls
(“PCBs”), and dioxins. In 2006, he received the “Trial
Lawyer of the Year” award from national public interest law firm

of Arizona residents exposed to TCE in their drinking water.

Brooks is a 12-year plaintiffs’ trial lawyer and two-time Texas Rising Star Thompson Reuters Service published by Texas Monthly Magazine that represents families and victims of deadly chemicals including asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, benzene, dioxin, solvents, and wood dust.

Ivan Hurley, et al. v. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation
Steve Baughman Jensen’s appellate court victories include two landmark cases decided by the United States Supreme Court on behalf of asbestos victims. In those two cases, Steve successfully fought two proposed nationwide class action settlements that attempted to cutoff the rights of“future” asbestos victims who had been exposed, but had not yet developed any disease. The United States Supreme Court overturned both settlements in the cases of Amchem v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591 (1997) and Ortiz v. Fibreboard Corp., 527 U.S. 815 (1999).
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a cancer typically found in the lining of the lung, which is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers or dust and strikes persons who worked with asbestos products. This type of lung cancer usually develops many years after the patient was exposed to asbestos.
Manufacturers of products that contained asbestos and the owners of premises where asbestos products were used generally knew about the hazards of asbestos, but they failed to protect workers. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, or a family member has died as a result, you may be entitled to recover compensation from these companies. |
