Asbestos

The Irwin Fritchie asbestos group represents employers, premises owners, manufacturers, and suppliers, including private corporations, municipalities, educational institutions, and their insurers. Our experience includes both the defense of traditional claims alleging asbestos and silica exposure and occupational injuries from industrial accidents.

Our work in asbestos includes claims involving electrical components, vehicles, filtration equipment, welding equipment, industrial machinery, oilfield production equipment, fumigation, chemical applications, piping systems, valves, and building systems. We have routinely defeated attempts at class certification of toxic-exposure claims and have succeeded in excluding junk science from the courtroom on both a state and federal level.
