Over the years of litigation to hold asbestos manufacturers responsible for their greedy and deadly actions, we’ve seen a lot of low-blow tactics used by defendants. It comes as no surprise to us that companies capable of sacrificing their customers’ and employees’ lives for their own profit would stoop to such low levels.
These companies sometimes try to attack our clients’ characters and accuse them of lying. It seems they think that if they can find even the slightest flaw in a plaintiff’s character, it means that the person deserved to be exposed to dangerous products without warning and to die from mesothelioma. What defendants don’t seem to realize is that attacking the character of a man who dedicated his life to serving his country, or accusing an upstanding citizen with a history of helping his community of lying only serve to show how desperate, underhanded, and guilty the manufacturer is.
We’ve also represented clients that have faced family problems or issues with substance abuse. And we’ve won these clients’ cases because we’ve shown that no one is perfect and that no one deserves the painful effects and devastating loss of mesothelioma. Juries empathized with the humanity of the plaintiffs in these cases and did not accept that an imperfect character means manufacturers had the right to expose a person to this deadly substance.
